What families are saying
When we relocated overseas, we soon realised our usual communication apps weren’t enough to feel truly connected to our extended family. Time zones and busy schedules reduced us to short messages, random photos, and catch-up video calls.
We were staying in touch, but something was missing. Connecting and bonding are two different things.
Messaging apps keep you in touch. But you can message every week and still miss out on each other’s lives.

Unlike social media or messaging services, Simirity is a family journal app that’s designed for deeper conversations with your family. Explore our demo account to see the difference for yourself.
It’s a private, ad-free space where your stories don’t get lost in a feed and your data isn’t shared with advertisers. Instead of quick updates, Simirity helps you preserve memories, deepen family bonds, and create a lasting family legacy—all in one place. Here’s how Simirity’s different.
Yes! You can create a private family journal in the Simirity app for free and share stories with unlimited users. We also offer premium subscriptions for those who want to enhance their experience with extra storage and advanced storytelling tools. Explore our pricing for more details.
No download needed. Simirity opens in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, and you can add it to your home screen in one tap, where it looks and works like any other app. Nothing to install or update makes it easy for every generation to join in.
The big social platforms don’t just connect you with others, they analyse every interaction to build advertising profiles. As the saying goes, if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.
We created Simirity because families deserve better. Your family’s online space should feel like your actual home, safe and free from intrusions:
As a family business, we answer to our own families first, not to shareholders or investors. Our heartfelt mission is to help families connect in meaningful ways, while respecting their privacy. Our business model is simple: optional premium subscriptions, not advertising or data harvesting. Your family’s private moments stay private. Period.
Traditional family journals capture individual thoughts, but Simirity is designed specifically for family connection. We’re a family-focused journaling app that brings everyone together through shared storytelling.
Unlike basic journaling apps, Simirity organises your family’s experiences into individual story entries—each like a mini digital journal focused on a specific moment, experience, or theme that multiple family members can engage with.
What sets us apart is that you control exactly who sees each story — whether that’s your entire family, a selected few, or just you. In contrast, most family journal apps and journal websites share entire journals with specific people, but we let you choose the audience for every individual story.
As a shared journal app for families, Simirity offers unique advantages:
And unlike traditional journals that capture just one person’s perspective, your Simirity family journal app actively strengthens connections between all family members today while creating a collaborative legacy for generations to come.

Real family connection goes beyond discussing daily routines or sharing quick updates. The conversations that truly bring families closer explore experiences, values, and stories that don’t usually come up in regular catch-up calls. Simirity helps families have these conversations naturally, and includes inspiration such as these family journal ideas to get them started.
Through digital storytelling, family members can share authentic experiences, highlight family values naturally to children, and engage in conversations about the past with story prompts such as these questions to ask mom and questions to ask dad.
Your family journal is so much more than a story archive—it’s the starting point for conversations that genuinely matter.
Yes! Simirity app gives you complete control over who can see your content. You can share stories with your entire family or limit access to specific people. Additionally, if authors want to share their story outside of Simirity, they may do so with a private link.
No, there’s no limit! You can invite as many family members as you like. Simirity is a family journal app that’s built for your whole family, whether that’s just a few close relatives or a big extended family spread across different places. Premium subscriptions have a limited number of seats, so large families might need multiple subscriptions, but everyone will be connected regardless of which subscription they are using.
Simirity helps family members beyond your home feel more included in your lives. Parenting is so hard in the modern world, and losing the support of your parents, siblings, and cousins makes it even harder. Simirity bridges the generational gap and any distance that separates you, ensuring that you face life’s challenges together as one big family.
When it comes to activities for retirees, it’s hard to beat Simirity—giving grandparents priceless insights into their loved ones’ lives while offering them a way to share stories from their past that ignite family conversations. And at the other end of the scale, your children benefit too by feeling part of a larger family story while learning from experiences beyond their immediate household.
As they say, it takes a village to raise a child—your family is already a wonderful foundation.
Yes. And it matters to us personally, not just as a policy.
Simirity is a family business, and our family’s stories are in Simirity too — hundreds of them. The thought of those disappearing isn’t an abstract concern for us.
For immediate peace of mind, you can download any story at any time — complete with all your photos, videos, and voice recordings. Real files, on your own device, yours to keep whatever the future holds.
And we’re working towards something more complete — a local copy of your entire family library that lives on your own device and updates automatically. We’ll share more on that when we’re closer.
