It’s a problem of the modern age: how to keep up with long-distance family and good friends without the risk of sharing your personal life with the rest of the online world.
A recent UK-wide poll found that 62 percent of people don’t share all the pictures they’d like with family because of the privacy, security and data-collection concerns that come with many social platforms. As a result, most families are still primarily using email to send photos to friends and relatives. Yet most of us feel that this effort of keeping in touch with family is very important: a more effective solution to sharing precious moments is needed.
Enter KatchUp, the next cross-generation photo and video-sharing platform. It’s less about broadcasting and more about selectively sharing—whether it’s a wedding, a birthday or the family at Christmas. At last there is an option that uses the available technology to allow for a seamless sharing experience. Even better, KatchUp is ad-free and doesn’t track or store any data. It’s a private, online space to view and share photos and videos with family and friends, not the entire world.
Founder Katie Hobbs came up with the idea after having a family dinner at her mum’s house. She realised her family had all these great photos from special occasions, but they were scattered across laptops, phones and computers, with no easy way to share them privately.
“Families are facing a lot of challenges right now,” Katie says. “With hectic schedules, and relatives living far away, we are spread thinner than ever. At KatchUp we’re hoping we can make a real difference to the way families interact by creating a special place for them online.”
KatchUp has also gone a step further by offering a printing service for your pictures—you can get framed prints, or print onto canvases or even smartphone cases easily direct from the website. Perfect for relatives in faraway lands who want to print off that cute picture of your little one blowing out the candles on their first birthday—all they have to do is click and pay for their chosen print and it will be delivered straight to them. And perfect for busy mums who might forget to send regular pictures to the grandparents.
Choose from a free account with 1 GB of storage or the premium package for only £2.99 per month which has 10GB of storage and 20 percent off all printing orders.
