What families are saying

Real families. Real memories.

“My kids share pictures with me constantly and I love that I can react to it in real-time like a chat and it all collects in one private place. No more digging through 5 different apps to find my photos someone sends.”

“My boyfriend is stationed abroad, and I love that we can share photos and stay in touch constantly, while everything we send stays permanently saved and accessible.”

K

“Knowing our photos aren't being scanned or sold to advertisers. That alone was worth it. The chat is a bonus.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How hard is it to set up?

Setup takes under 10 minutes. Download the app, plug in The Ark, and follow the steps, similar to setting up a new phone. No technical knowledge needed.

How do photos and files work on The Ark?

Everything lives in one app. ArkMessenger handles your family group chats, send photos and videos just like WhatsApp. ArkDrive is your private storage, upload, organize, and manage files directly, like a private Google Photos stored at home.

The two are connected: anything shared in chat automatically appears in ArkDrive under a dedicated "From Chats" folder. Nothing gets lost, nothing needs to be saved manually.

All of it stays on your Ark. No third-party access, no cloud uploads, no storage fees.

How many people can use one Ark?

Up to 10 family members. Each person gets their own private account with their own storage, chat, and photo library. The device owner manages who's invited but can't access anyone else's personal files.

Need more than 10 users?

A second Ark can be added to expand your network. Members across both Arks can message and share with each other, fully encrypted: one connected family, across two devices.

What devices work with The Ark?

Currently iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Android support is coming soon.

Can I access my photos when I'm not home?

Yes. As long as your Ark is powered on and connected to the internet at home, you can securely access your photos and files from anywhere.
