Notabli is a calm and private family social network for sharing kid moments with your other favorite people. In addition to posting photos and videos, you can capture audio recordings, notes, and even the funny things they say as quote moments. Just add your kids to Notabli and share your unique invite link with the world (e.g., "Introducing baby Buzz!", or "My kid is 17, but I still privately document their life, of course!"). When people request to keep up, you choose who to approve and grant access — you have complete control. Anyone you approve will be able to see the moments in the app, on the web, and via email. And they can optionally print beautiful hardcover photo books of the kids they choose, automatically with Notabli Book subscriptions. --- Our tiny, independent team built Notabli based on three core principles: - It's yours. You own the content you post. - Ad-free: Notabli is private, even from advertisers. - Simple & beautiful: Notabli should be a joy to use. --- "[Notabli] delivers the simplicity and productive limitations that the symbol of family stands for. It’s a human-scale model for giving and receiving the records of our lives with the family-or-friend, neighbor-or-colleague communities we belong to, and want to build." — Sara Hendren, Care is not an infinite scroll (New_ Public) "Notabli is an app for (securely) capturing photos and memories of your kids. What a great concept." —Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times Technology Columnist ## Key features - Private family social network - Share photos and videos - Capture audio recordings - Add notes and quotes - Control access with invite links - Create hardcover photo books ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | Notabli Plus (1 Month) | $4.99 | per month | | Notabli Plus (1 Year) | $49.99 | per year | | Notabli Plus-One (1 Month) | $6.99 | per month | | Notabli Plus-One (1 Year) | $69.99 | per year | | Notabli Plus-One (1 Year) | $69.99 | per year | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 93) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/notabli-family-social/id580644870/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Love this app, but lack of updates is starting to worry *2026-06-11, version 4.3.4* We’ve been using Notabli for nearly 10(!?) years at this point and it has served us well. Private, we own the content, and not an ad to be seen anywhere. Pretty easy to get the family setup and convince them to stay away from Instagram when the platform works so similarly. So I have been more than happy to pay the annual subscription fee. We would love it if Notabli could continue to grow with our kids. But the updates have slowed to a crawl over the past couple years and while we don’t typically encounter bugs, it would be nice to see some UX polishes to keep up with iOS at the least and feature parity with the popular ad-supported options at best. There really aren’t a lot of options out there if you want to stay away from shady Terms of Service or ad tracking, so we will continue to support Notabli for as long as it exists, but we hope the app we love can get some attention every once in awhile! ### 5/5 — Wonderful and easy *2024-11-11, version 4.3.4* This makes creating photo albums so easy! It’s all automatic. Plus I can share photos without worrying about facial recognition, likes from 1000 Facebook friends, etc. Just clear, concise, curated photos, videos, and clips! ### 5/5 — Can’t say how much with love this app! *2024-04-15, version 4.3.2* If you have a young child in your life, this app is a wonderful piece of the puzzle. How do you record those spontaneous moments and utterances so you’ll remember them in 5 years much less 5 minutes? How do you share them with your loved ones and nobody else? I am so glad we stumbled upon this app in its early days and used it diligently when our son was younger. My only request would be that the app developer partner with someone to make books out of the material we’ve uploaded so that we can store the material offline forever. ### 1/5 — No way to contact support *2024-01-30, version 4.3.2* I've been using this app for such a long time now and am a paid up subscriber but they must have closed down without notifying anyone. There's no way to contact supposrt and there's been no response to my request t downlaod my moments archive for over a week. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. Certainly don't be a fool and pay for it like I did. ### 2/5 — Sudden subscription requirements *2022-02-14* This app was great until suddenly, after two years of use, I’m being asked to pay a pretty hefty subscription to upload anything besides photos. Pretty annoyed I can’t just continue using this app. Will have to switch to another one. **Developer response:** Totally understand why this was surprising after using the app for a while. The core experience — keeping up with family and posting photos — remains free. Paid plans were added later for additional features outside of that in order to support the costs to run Notabli. ### 1/5 — Why do I need to pay all of a sudden? *2021-01-30, version 4.1.3* Been using this for 4 years now all of a sudden I have to pay to upload videos. Not cool. Will find something that’s less buggy. ### 2/5 — Have to pay now *2020-11-19, version 4.1.1* We’ve used this app for 3+ years. My sister has used it for longer. We both love it because we don’t wanna throw all these pics and videos on Facebook and we want grandparents to be able to see the kids grow. Recently an update changed it so that all we can do is photos and not videos. I’m pretty upset about that because there’s no other way to send my grandmother videos. I’ll still recommend it but I’m only giving two stars due to the need to pay now. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-11-01, version 4.1.0* So happy with Notibli. Been using it for 5 years now and it’s the only way to keep family and friends updated with kid photos. The email updates are key and I love that is just family vs social media. ### 5/5 — The perfect way to share photos of your kids *2020-10-31, version 4.1.0* Private, ad free, easy to use, and now even more features are being added. There’s no better way to share pictures of your children! ### 5/5 — Love this app!!! *2020-10-25, version 4.0.0* Notabli is the only place I feel good about posting photos of my kids online. It’s become a really nice library of images (and printed books!) to look back on as my kids grow. And it’s the best way to stay in touch with other kids I love and who I’m not able to see during the pandemic. ## Frequently asked questions about Notabli ### What is Notabli?
