For grandparents
Share baby photos with grandparents, no app to install
Grandparents should not have to download anything to watch their grandchild grow. Send one private link, and it opens right in their browser.
No app needed
A link, not another app to figure out
The people who most want to see your baby are often the least interested in installing a new app. So Our Pear Tree does not ask them to. You send a private link by text or email, they tap it, and your timeline opens in whatever web browser is already on their phone, tablet, or computer. No account, no password to invent, no download. The photos are big and easy to see, laid out newest first, so there is nothing to learn.
Staying close
They can love on the moments, from wherever they are
It should feel like being part of things, not looking through a window. Grandparents can leave a reaction or a comment on a photo, so you know Grandma saw the first steps and thought her heart would burst. And once a week, a gentle email digest gathers the newest moments and sends them along, so nobody has to remember to check in. It keeps the far-away family close without anyone lifting much of a finger.
- Opens in the browser already on any phone, tablet, or computer
- Big, clear photos, no pinching and squinting
- React and comment, or view-only if you prefer
- A weekly email digest of what is new, sent automatically
Free for family
Free for them, forever, with no limit on how many
Viewers never pay, on any plan, and there is no cap on how many people you invite, so grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, and the neighbor who is basically family can all follow along. Their view is read-only and private, and you stay in control: revoke a link at any moment and it stops working.
If you want the fuller picture of how private sharing works, see private baby photo sharing, or take the tour of everything Our Pear Tree does. Getting set up is quick, and import brings your older photos in with their real dates so grandparents see the whole story from the start. You can compare plans and pricing any time, though sharing itself is always free.
Getting started
Getting the first link to Grandma
It takes about a minute, and you only do it once. Add a few photos to your timeline, open sharing, and create a private link. Send it to Grandma however you already talk to her, a text, an email, or the family group chat. She taps it and your timeline opens, and from then on that same link keeps showing her the newest moments as you add them, so you never have to send another.
- Add a handful of photos so there is something lovely to open
- Create a private link in a couple of taps
- Text or email it, or drop it in the family chat
- She taps once and the whole timeline opens in her browser
- The same link keeps updating, so you send it only the one time
If she is uneasy about anything to do with the internet, you can reassure her honestly: there is nothing to install, no account to make, and nothing that will ask her for a password or a payment. It is a private web page of her grandchild, made just for her. And if you ever change your mind, the link is yours to switch off.
Questions
What families ask us
Does Grandma need an app or an account?
No. You send a private link, she taps it, and your timeline opens in the web browser already on her phone, tablet, or computer. There is nothing to download and no password to create.
What if she uses an old iPad or an older phone?
It still works. Because the link opens as a web page in the browser she already has, there is no app to update and no app store to visit. Any reasonably modern browser shows the photos just fine.
Can she leave a comment or a reaction?
Yes. Grandparents can react to a photo and leave a comment, so you know the moment landed. If you would rather they only look, you can share a view-only link instead. See how sharing works.
Is it safe to share this way?
Yes. The link is private and not listed anywhere, search engines do not index it, and you can revoke it at any time. Shared photos are served without their location data, and there are no ads and no data selling.
Does it cost her anything?
No. Viewers are free forever, on every plan, with no limit on how many people you invite. Grandma never sees a bill, an ad, or a request to sign up.
