## What is Trove?

Upload photos of your kids. Trove sends your entire family — grandparents, aunts, uncles, everyone — a beautiful weekly newsletter with the best moments, automatically.

No more texting photos to a dozen people. No more posting on social media you don't trust. One upload, and everyone who matters sees it on their own time.

WEEKLY FAMILY NEWSLETTER
Trove picks the best photos, writes the intro, and sends a beautiful email to everyone you invite. Grandparents love it. You don't have to do a thing.

AI-POWERED SEARCH
Search for "first steps at the park" or "baking cookies with grandma" and find it instantly. Trove understands what you're looking for — no scrolling through thousands of photos.

YOUR KIDS, AUTOMATICALLY ORGANIZED
Trove recognizes your children and tags them on-device. Every photo organized by who's in it, with their age shown automatically.

SHARE WITH EVERYONE
Invite as many family members as you want — free. They can view, react, and comment. Share links work for anyone, even without the app.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Photo tagging happens on your device, not our servers. Only people you invite see your memories. No ads. No data selling. No algorithms deciding what you see.
