Clann is a private family photo-sharing service for invited relatives, available on Android, iOS and the web. It arranges photos in a chronological timeline and supports custom albums, memory books, favorites and search. Families can create multiple invite-only groups with separate members and settings, then share a photo across several groups. Relatives may view photos through a secure browser link without installing the app or creating an account. Authorized computer-browser photo uploads require scanning a code with the phone app; browser video uploads are not supported yet. Clann says storage is unlimited and photos remain at full resolution, while longer videos are reduced in size before upload. New families receive end-to-end encryption by default for photos, videos, captions, comments and voice notes; older families must enable it. Admins control membership, downloads, comments, screenshot notifications and original-quality exports. Plans cost 11.99 USD per month or 59.99 USD per year, with one subscription covering the family.
