School trips

School trip photos, only for the parents.

The teachers post, parents follow along from home. No comments to moderate, and parents don’t see who else is in the album.

Why it works for schools

Parents follow along. The photos stay with them.

Parents don't see each other

With every switch off, parents see only the teachers and themselves: no list of other parents' names.

Children's photos off servers

Photos go straight from the teachers' phones to the parents', end-to-end encrypted. Not on a server, not on social media.

Follow along from home

A nudge when new photos arrive. Parents save the ones they like to their phone.

Only the right parents

Every request shows a name, and a teacher lets each parent in.

Calm for teachers

Only teachers post. Nothing to moderate.

With every switch off, parents look and save, and that's it: no comments to read, no photos to check. Make every teacher on the trip an owner, so photos come from everyone's phone.

Share photos only of children whose parents agreed, as your school's rules ask.

Setting it up

A school trip album in four steps.

  1. A teacher creates the album before the trip and makes the other teachers owners.
  2. Switch everything off: only teachers add photos.
  3. Send the link where you let each parent in to the class's parents. It works for two weeks.
  4. Let parents in as they ask, then post during the trip.

With all of this off, members don’t see who else is in the album.

Every phone in the album checks the rules itself, so nobody can get around them.

Questions about school trip albums

Can parents react or comment?

Not with every switch off. That keeps the album calm, and it keeps parents' names hidden from each other.

Can parents save the photos?

Yes, to their own phone, in full quality.

Who can see the photos?

Only the teachers and the parents they let in. The photos never pass through a server, and they're end-to-end encrypted, so not even we can see them.

What happens after the trip?

Parents keep the photos they have. A teacher can delete the album for everyone, and nothing new arrives after that.

What does it cost?

Nothing, for the school and for every parent.
