The little everyday things. A little closer, with Looly.

The breakfast grin. The new favourite toy. The photo they took just for you. Looly gives invited grandparents a private place to see and comment on family photos. Your viewer access costs €0; the administrator pays €99/year or €12/month.

Already invited? Sign in to your family circle

Originals stored in the EU, no face recognition, no ads in the app, full-quality originals.

Grandparents smiling warmly at a new photo of their grandchild on a phone

Something small to share. Someone you love to share it with.

You do not have to be there for every little thing to feel part of it.

Your family shares a photo, and it is waiting in the circle when you next visit. Add a comment, enjoy the moment, and come back whenever you like.

No public feed to navigate. No subscription for invited viewers. Just a little window into the days between visits.

A little less effort. A little more together.

The details that make room for family life.

An invitation, then an email code.

Your family sends an invitation. For relatives, they sign in once with an email code. A new device or an expired session may require another code.

Use a browser you already know.

Open Looly on a phone, tablet or laptop, including Android. No installation is required for the web app. Bookmark it after joining.

Your invitation is enough to join free.

You do not need to buy a plan to view and comment in a family circle you are invited to. The administrator pays for storage and the service.

The conversation stays with the photo.

Leave a comment where the family can find it again. A small reply can make an everyday photo feel like a shared moment.

Your family story has a place here.

Originals stored in the EU, no face recognition, no ads in the app, full-quality originals.

Want to start the family circle yourself?

You can be the administrator who pays and manages invitations. Talk with the parents first, start a circle, and invite your family. If a circle already exists, ask for an invitation instead.

Questions, answered straight.

What to expect before you start.

What if I only want to see the family’s photos?

Ask the parent for an invitation to their circle. You do not need to start a subscription of your own. Use the email address you were invited with and follow the sign-in steps.

Will I need to remember a password?

For invited relatives, they sign in once with an email code. Keep access to your email inbox; another code may be needed when your session ends or you change devices.

What if the code does not arrive?

Check your spam folder and the email address you entered. Ask your family to confirm the invitation address. If you still need help, contact support@looly.app without forwarding anyone’s password or private invitation.

Your family’s first steps with Looly
Step	What to expect
Start a circle	An administrator starts a trial or paid plan
Invite family	Invited relatives do not need a paid plan
Sign in	An email code is required to join and view
Keep the originals	Uploaded originals are retained unchanged
Keep a copy	An administrator can export the whole circle

How do grandparents join?

Ask the parent for a circle invitation. Open it, sign in with your email code and accept the invitation. Use the invited email address and keep access to that inbox. Sign-in is required; this is not an anonymous photo link. You may need another code when using a new device or when your session ends.

Do I have to install anything?

No installation is required to use the web app. A current browser on a phone, tablet or laptop works, including on Android. Bookmark Looly after joining so the next visit is easier. If a code does not arrive, check spam and confirm the address with your family.

Can I start the circle instead?

Yes, if you want to be the administrator who pays and manages invitations. Talk with the parents before setting up a child’s circle. If you only want to see an existing family circle, ask for an invitation instead of starting a new subscription.

What to know before you start

Looly is not end-to-end encrypted. Originals are stored in the EU; processing and delivery can operate globally. Relatives must sign in. Android access is through the browser. Importing cannot restore quality missing from a source file. Recurring plans start with a 14-day trial, require a card and renew automatically unless you cancel before the trial ends.
