Photos of your kids, for the people who love them.
Keekaboo is a private place for the photos and videos of your children. Share them with grandparents, aunts and the friends who babysit, and with nobody else. No ads, no algorithm, no strangers.

Three steps, and grandma is in.
Share a moment
Pick a few photos or a video, say a word about them, and choose who gets to see them.
Send one link
Send grandma a link, or let her scan a code. Until you say yes, she sees a blur and nothing more.
You decide who's in
Each request comes to you. Say yes, pick how much they get to see, and they're in. Change your mind whenever you like.
Three circles. You draw them.
Every moment goes to one circle. The circles sit inside each other, so the people closest to you always see the most.
- RelativesGrandparents, aunts and uncles. Everything, every day.
- Close friendsThe ones who babysit. Most of it.
- FriendsColleagues and neighbours. The birthday party, not bath time.
Only your family holds the key.
Your photos and videos are locked on your phone before they leave it, and only the phones you let in can open them. Not ours, not anyone's.
- On your phoneLocked before it leaves.
- On our serversStill locked. We can't open it.
- On grandma's phoneOpens, because you let her in.
- Saying yes is what unlocks itWhen you let someone in, your phone gives theirs the key. Someone who gets hold of a sign-in code on another phone sees nothing.
- Lose your phone, not your photosA new phone gets your key back from your iCloud or Google account. If you and your partner lose everything at once, a relative can let you back in, after a call and a day's wait.
What a stranger sees: nothing.
There is no privacy setting to get wrong. It's built in.
| Bath time, shared with Relatives | The birthday party, shared with Friends | |
|---|---|---|
| You and your partner | Sees the photo | Sees the photo |
| Grandma, in Relatives | Sees the photo | Sees the photo |
| A colleague, in Friends | Gets a scrambled file | Sees the photo |
| Us, or anyone who breaks in | Gets a scrambled file | Gets a scrambled file |
| Someone who stole your sign-in code | Gets a scrambled file | Gets a scrambled file |
- Not even we can see them. Your photos and videos arrive at our servers already locked, and we never have the key. The same goes for every backup.
- Where it was taken stays with you. Every photo and video is re-encoded on your phone before it goes anywhere, which strips the location out. Want to say where you were? Type a place, and choose who sees that too.
- No profiles to find. No search, no suggestions, nothing public. Your family exists only for the people you said yes to.
- No algorithm. Newest first. That's the whole feed, and there are no ads in it.
- Leaving takes everything with you. Delete your account and your photos go with it: out of sight at once, gone for good after thirty days, backups included.
Kept in Europe.
Your photos, videos and words are stored on our servers in Germany, and every backup stays inside the European Union.
Notifications go through Apple or Google, like every app's. That's why they only ever say who did what, and never carry a photo.
Hand over the phone.
Toddler mode is just the photos. No buttons, no comments, no notifications, and the only way out is holding the lock and showing your face.
One family, two parents.
Your partner runs the family with you. You both post, you both say who's in, and nobody has to share a password.
Why Keekaboo?
Peekaboo is the first game every baby falls for. You hide, you pop back out, and they laugh like it's the best thing that ever happened. Sending the grandparents a photo feels a lot like that: here she is, look.
A keek is a quick look. People still say it in Scotland and the north of England, and in Dutch, where this app was made, keek is what you did a moment ago: ik keek, I looked. Back home a snapshot is a kiekje.
A quick look, a snapshot, and the oldest game there is. That's Keekaboo.
