The way she
says “banana.”
The extra n’s, too.
Write a sentence. Leave a voice note. Record that laugh. Your journal holds the little details alongside the photos, videos, dates, and people that belong to them.
And when you want to find that moment again, just ask Kaiary.

Dangers of Posting Children's Pictures on Social Media: What AI Changes
The dangers of posting children's pictures on social media now include face search and AI manipulation. Here is what changes, and what you can do today.
Read the storyIs Kaiary really private?
Yes. Face recognition runs on servers we own and never leaves them. Photo captions, search, and storybook illustrations use a small number of AI providers that never train on your content and never keep it beyond a short retention window. Your memories are never sold and never used for advertising, and each family's data is isolated and encrypted. read our privacy promise
What does Magic Import do?
Magic Import looks for people in the photo library on your phone and groups moments by day. The scan stays on your device. You review what it found before keeping photos and starting the upload. Identifying named family members uses a separate, optional face-recognition step. explore Magic Import
What can I keep in my journal?
Photos, videos, written memories, voice notes, and audio recordings. Add the date, people, and place, or mark a milestone. Ask Kaiary helps you find the memories you have permission to see in everyday words.
Can I share it with grandparents?
Yes. Invite family members and choose their role: Keeper, Contributor, or Viewer. Audiences let you choose which people receive particular memories. Extended-family sharing and some other capabilities require Kaiary Family. see family sharing
