The facts
| What | A private album for a family's photos, videos and audio clips, seen by the people you invite and no one else. Organised as an album with a calendar, not a feed. |
|---|---|
| Company | Stenite AB, Sweden. Founder: Andreas Stenberg. |
| Launched | 15 September 2026; invite-only from 1 September. Shaped by a survey of 144 parents in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and Sweden on 3 September 2026. |
| Platforms | iPhone and Android apps for the parents who run an album; any browser for everyone invited, with a sign-in code by email and no password. |
| Price | One plan per family: €24.99 the first year, €39.99 a year after that, or €4.99 a month; one month free without a card. It covers every album the family creates and every member of them; members never pay. The first 200 paying families keep €24.99 a year for as long as they stay. |
| Business model | The price is the whole business. No free tier, no ads on any tier, nothing sold, nothing analysed. |
| Hosting | Hetzner, Helsinki, Finland: the database and the media, encrypted. Mail through an EU region in Stockholm. Every provider is named with its city on quietalbum.eu/privacy. |
| What it never does | Train AI on the photos, analyse them, detect faces, send them to any AI vendor, show ads, sell data, or delete photos for non-payment: albums turn read-only for at least twelve months. |
| Leaving | Every member can export any album any time: one zip of the original files plus the posts, comments and reactions as plain text. Deletion deletes. |
| Capacity | 100 GB of originals per plan, across all of a family's albums. |
Boilerplate
Short. QuietAlbum is a private family photo album app from Sweden: one paid plan for the whole family, no ads, no AI on your photos, originals kept, hosted in the EU, and grandparents open it in a browser. quietalbum.eu
Longer. QuietAlbum is a private album for a family's photos, videos and audio clips, made by Stenite AB in Sweden and launched in September 2026. Parents post from the iPhone or Android app; everyone they invite opens the same album in any browser with a code by email, so the grandparents never install anything. One plan, €39.99 a year, covers every album a family creates and every member of them. There is no free tier and no advertising on any tier, originals are kept at full quality, no AI is trained on the photos and nobody analyses them, and the photos live in Helsinki, Finland under a Swedish company. Every member can export everything at any time. Tagline: some moments aren't content.
The founder
Andreas Stenberg, founder of Stenite AB, became a father in 2024 and did not want his daughter on social media; the family ended up on a well-known album app and the reservations grew from there. The devblog tells it in his words, and the survey post says what 144 parents told us. He answers hello@quietalbum.eu himself.
