Start your family archive on any device
Web is live now, iPhone is available on the App Store, and Android is rolling out through Google Play closed testing. Start on the web when you want to restore immediately, add iPhone for camera scanning, or request an Android tester invite with the Google account email you use on your Android phone.
Start now — no install needed
The web app is the fastest way to finish the first meaningful archive record today. Upload a photo, see your Photo Insight, repair it carefully, then keep the original, result, names, and notes together in Archive. Works on any computer or tablet with a browser.
Nostalgia is on the App Store
Scan prints directly with your camera, restore on the go, and add people or story notes while the memory is still fresh. Everything syncs to the web for larger archive cleanup. Download Nostalgia for iPhone from the App Store and sign in with the same account you use on the web. The current app shell is Archive, Restore, Family, and You across iPhone and web.
- Open the App Store and install Nostalgia — Family Archive.
- Sign in with the same account you use on the web so your library syncs automatically.
- Scan or import a photo and start restoring.
Join the Android closed test
Android is in Google Play closed testing while we work toward broader Play Store availability. Leave the Google account email you use on your Android phone. We’ll add eligible testers to the Android test; then you will receive the Google Play opt-in link needed to install the app. If you want to restore now, start on the web first; your Archive syncs to Android automatically once you have it.
Google Play requires tester opt-in before install access. Use the same Google account email you use on your Android phone so the invite works correctly.
Want to start restoring now? Try the web app — your Archive syncs to Android automatically.
Import a family tree on web
Drop a GEDCOM export from Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilySearch, RootsMagic, Family Tree Maker, Gramps, or FamilyEcho into Nostalgia and the archive will suggest which photos belong to which person — by name, era, and birth/death window. Read-only by design: your tree platform stays the source of truth, and mobile can browse the resulting People records.
