How Aeternum Works
Aeternum
Preserve the moments that matter, share them with the right people, and pass your story on safely with Aeternum, a private, inheritable digital legacy platform that keeps your history secure, organized, and connected.
Where typical online photo-sharing sites focus on likes and followers, Aeternum was built for meaning and privacy. It’s a family-first space to preserve photos, stories, and voices, and to share them intentionally, not publicly.
A Family-First Platform
Private Photo Sharing Designed for Longevity
Your family’s story deserves more than a social feed. Aeternum combines the simplicity of modern social photo-sharing platforms with the permanence of a digital vault. It lets you build your family archive, collaborate, connect across generations, and create a lasting legacy.
Core Principles
- Private by design: Only you and the people you invite can see your content.
- Family First Safely: Share memories within secure circles with wellness-first engagement, no ads, no algorithms, no data mining. Designed for meaningful connections.
- You own your content: Your data stays yours, always, with full retained ownership.
Unlike public photo-sharing networks, Aeternum is built to handle not only your photos, but also your genealogy & family history, with structure, inheritance, and emotional context built right in.
Step 1: Preserve
Bring everything together in one private, inheritable vault.
Your family’s story lives currently everywhere: photos on phones, letters in drawers, and stories in hearts. Aeternum can help keep them all in one place.
What You Can Preserve
- Photos & Videos: Capture milestones, family gatherings, and everyday magic.
- Voices & Messages: Record your own voice, send story clips, or create messages for future generations
- Documents & Keepsakes: Store scanned letters, certificates, recipes, and heirlooms.
- Life Events: Document births, graduations, anniversaries, and memorials, all in one secure place.
This isn’t just a storage system; it’s a digital legacy platform that organizes memories with meaning and connection, not just file type.
Quickly upload photos, videos, and files from your devices, creating new threads to your family’s story, a piece of your genealogy & family history that’s preserved for the next generation.
Step 2: Share
You decide what stays private and what’s shared.
Unlike online photo sharing sites, where everything is public by default, Aeternum gives you fine-grained control over visibility and permissions. Every photo, note, and story can have its own privacy level.
Privacy & Connectivity
- Private: For your eyes only, personal journals, private thoughts, or sensitive documents.
- Only you can access
- Can be inherited later
- Never shared until you choose
- Sharing Circles: Shared securely with invited connections.
- Invited connections only
- Customized privacy circle setting coming soon
- Perfect for comments on pictures of connections and collective storytelling
- Collaborate with connections to build a legacy
- Curated Profiles: Build your family legacy further with curated profiles for children, ancestors and even pets. Allowing you and your connection to build out their stories with yours.
- Chained Memories: Linked Memories together to build upon each other. Build out a story, not just a comment.
These privacy tiers & connectivity make Aeternum one of the most adaptable photo-sharing platforms for families who value control and connection.
Step 3: Inherit
Your story deserves to be a legacy.
Aeternum’s inheritance system ensures that your memories and stories continue long after you’re gone.
Designate a Digital Inheritor and decide who your data on Aeternum is passed on to. Aeternum makes the inheritance of your digital legacy simple, secure, and emotionally meaningful.
How Inheritance Works
- Choose a Digital Inheritor: Select trusted connection members or friends to manage your vault when the time comes.
- Verification Process: Multi-step verification ensures only authorized access.
You can set event-based messages or time-based messages (for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or custom dates) that can connect you to your family even after you’re gone.
This feature transforms Aeternum into a living family time capsule, one that can pass through generations, ensuring that your legacy, genealogy & family history are preserved, not lost.

A Private Alternative to Traditional Photo Sharing Platforms
Most online photo-sharing sites and social photo-sharing platforms prioritize engagement over preservation. They compress your images, harvest data, and provide no plan for what happens to your content after you’re gone.
Aeternum is different. It’s a purpose-built, private environment focused on meaning, security, and family continuity.
With Aeternum, you don’t lose control, you gain legacy.
A New Way to Preserve Genealogy & Family History
Aeternum is more than a photo app, it’s a family archive. It combines the functions of online photo sharing sites with genealogy tools, letting you map stories across generations. Through memory timelines, chained memories and social interactions, on pictures of connections, each member can add context, emotion, and build stories, turning data into living heritage.
Aeternum bridges technology and humanity, ensuring your story, genealogy & family history evolve with your family, not around algorithms.
