Use case

Three generations, dozens of phones, one album.

Gooya is a no-app family reunion photo app: everyone scans one QR code and sends photos, videos and voice messages to one private gallery. Every branch of the family, captured in one place — no downloads, no accounts.

How it works

Set it up once. Your guests do the rest.

Setting up a family reunion gallery takes about two minutes: name the event, add a cover photo, and choose whether guests can send photos, videos and voice. You get one QR code and a short link to share. Place the code where guests gather, and memories arrive all night into your private gallery — with no app to download and no account for anyone to create.

  • *Create your family reunion event — name it, add a cover, pick photo, video and voice.
  • *Print and place the QR — welcome table, tables, or a quick announcement.
  • *Relive it forever — everything lands in a private vault you keep.

Every angle

The moments no single camera catches.

The best family reunion moments are almost always the unplanned ones — caught by the people in the room, from angles no hired photographer can reach. When every guest is a camera, you stop relying on one person's viewpoint and start collecting the whole night: the reactions across the room, the small candid moments, and the short clips that turn out to matter most.

  • *The big group shots and the small candid ones.
  • *Short clips of the kids and the elders.
  • *Voice messages from family who travelled the farthest.

Private & yours

A private gallery — not a public feed.

Gooya is write-only for guests: they send their own photos and videos and never browse what everyone else uploaded, so nothing turns into a public feed during your event. You stay in control — decide when (or whether) guests see the gallery, hide or remove anything you don't want, and download every original in one ZIP whenever you like. The memories are private, and they're yours to keep.

  • *Write-only for guests — no public posts, no comparing.
  • *Host-controlled reveal — seal it, then open it together.
  • *One-click ZIP download keeps your own backup.

Every branch, one album

Dozens of phones, finally in one place.

At a reunion, every branch of the family is shooting on their own phone and the photos never get combined — they stay siloed by household. One QR code routes everyone's shots into a single private gallery, so for once you end up with the whole family's view of the day in one album, instead of asking cousins to text you their pictures for weeks afterward.

  • *Every household's photos in one shared gallery.
  • *Big group shots and small candids together.
  • *No more chasing relatives for their pictures.

Bridge the generations

No app means grandparents take part too.

Reunions span generations, and an app download or new account loses the older relatives instantly. Gooya needs neither — point the phone camera at the QR and the camera opens in the browser. Grandparents, aunts and kids all contribute the same easy way, and anyone can send from their photo library if they'd rather pick existing shots.

  • *No app, no account — any generation can join.
  • *Camera-roll upload for existing photos.
  • *One simple instruction for the whole family.

Record the stories

Capture the family stories while everyone's together.

A reunion is a rare chance to record the family's oral history — how grandparents met, the story behind an old photo, advice from the eldest generation. Gooya's voice messages let relatives record those stories on the spot, kept beside the photos. It turns a one-day gathering into a lasting record future generations can hear, not just see.

  • *Voice messages preserve family stories and history.
  • *The eldest generation's memories, in their own voice.
  • *A record future generations can actually hear.

Where to put the QR

At the food, and on a card for every household.

Put the code where the family naturally gathers — the food table, the main pavilion or porch — and hand a small card to each household so they have it on hand all day. A line like "add your photos and record a family story" points relatives toward the voice feature they'd never discover on their own.

  • *Food table and the main gathering spot.
  • *A card per household for all-day access.
  • *A prompt to record a family story, not just photos.

Keep it growing

Start a family archive you add to every year.

Download the whole reunion in one ZIP for your own backup, and keep the vault active as a growing family archive — add the next reunion, holidays, milestones. The Keepsake plan includes three galleries for families who run more than one event a year. The memories accumulate in one private place instead of expiring across phones.

  • *One-click ZIP of everything from the day.
  • *Keep the vault as a multi-year family archive.
  • *Three galleries on Keepsake for recurring events.

Make it an annual tradition

One archive the family adds to every year.

The best family record isn't a single reunion — it's the same album growing across years. Keep the vault active and each reunion adds a new layer: the kids growing up, the elders' stories accumulating, the group shots side by side over time. Instead of photos scattering across phones and disappearing, the family builds one private archive that future generations actually inherit.

  • *Each reunion adds to the same growing album.
  • *Watch the family change side by side over years.
  • *An archive future generations inherit.

Printing and sharing after

From the gallery to prints and a shared view.

After the reunion, download everything in one ZIP — full-resolution originals ready for a photo book, prints, or a shared family drive. Want everyone to see the day? Share a read-only view so every household can browse the combined album, not just the few photos they took themselves. One gathering becomes something the whole family can hold and revisit.

  • *Full-resolution originals for a photo book or prints.
  • *A read-only view so every household sees it all.
  • *Your files, kept and shareable on your terms.
Questions

Answers before you make the QR.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Gooya opens in the phone browser from one QR code. Guests can use the camera or their library without installing an app, making an account, or remembering a password.

How many guests can use it?

On the paid plans, guests are unlimited — invite the whole event, with no per-guest charge and no upload cap per guest.

Can we keep the gallery after the event?

Yes. The Event includes three months of storage; keep the gallery active for $49.99/year. If you lapse, the vault locks but is never deleted — reactivate any time.

Will older relatives manage it?

Yes. No app, no account — they point the phone camera at the QR and the camera opens. If they'd rather, they can send from their photo library.

Will older relatives be able to use it?

Yes. There's no app and no account — they point their phone camera at the QR code and the camera opens. If they prefer, they can send existing photos from their library.

Can far-away family contribute?

Yes. Share the link and relatives who couldn't travel can add photos and record a voice message, so they're part of the album too.

Can we collect family stories, not just photos?

Yes. Voice messages let relatives record stories and memories on the spot — a way to preserve the family's oral history while everyone's together.

Can we reuse it for next year's reunion?

Yes. Keep the vault and add to it, or start a fresh event. The Keepsake plan includes three galleries for families who gather more than once a year.

Can every household see all the photos afterward?

Yes. The host can share a read-only view of the gallery so every branch of the family browses the combined album — not just the photos they personally took.
