Photo Insight first
Every upload gets a source check and repair recommendation before you spend a restore.
ExploreKeep the people in the photograph known
Nostalgia exists for the shoebox that has photos, but not enough names, dates, or stories attached. Bring a photograph back while the face is still familiar, then keep the people and context with it while someone still remembers.
RestoredSourceWide family scenes often need tonal repair and balance before any color or extra detail makes sense.
RestoredSourcePortraits are where over-processing shows fastest, so the product is designed to favor believable repair.

Why I built this
Family photographs are valuable for more than their pixels. They hold names, places, relationships, and stories that can otherwise become separated from the image over time.
I built Nostalgia to make the careful work of preserving those photographs approachable: keep the source, repair damage without pretending certainty, and give the people who know the archive a way to add what they remember.
The product can organize evidence and make careful suggestions, but people remain the authority. Unknown names stay unknown until someone confirms them, and every archive stays private until its owner chooses to share it.

A practical workflow for the whole archive, not just one dramatic demo
Where This Fits
Use Nostalgia for the photo side of family memory
Genealogy software is still the right place for formal trees, records, DNA, and citations. Nostalgia handles the photos those names are attached to: the repair, the restoration result, the caption, the people, and the private sharing path. See the roadmap for what ships next.
