They Want to See the Grandkids. They Just Can't Figure Out the Apps.
You've tried everything:
- Set up Facebook. They forgot the password.
- Created a Google Photos album. They can't find it.
- Started a family group chat. They don't know how to scroll.
- Sent photos via text. They accidentally deleted them.
What if the photos just... arrived?
No apps to download. No accounts to manage. They open their phone. There's a photo of the grandkids. That's it.

Why Traditional Photo Sharing Fails for Seniors
The App Problem
- • Account creation (passwords they'll forget)
- • App installation (confusing)
- • Navigation (too many buttons)
- • Regular updates (things change and break)
The Text Message Problem
Photos sent via text get lost in conversations, accidentally deleted, or buried under spam messages.
The "I'll Just Print Them" Problem
Great in theory. But when did you last actually print and mail photos? Be honest.
How Gone But Remembered Works
You Upload Photos
From your phone, your computer, or your Google Photos library.
You Set a Schedule
Daily? Weekly? You decide how often photos arrive.
They Receive Photos
Directly in their text messages or email. No action required on their end.
No apps. No logins. No "tech support" calls from Mom.
Consistent Connection, Zero Effort
The Problem with "I Should Send Photos More"
You mean well. But life gets busy. Kids have activities. Work is demanding. Weeks go by, and you realize you haven't sent Mom any photos.
Then the guilt sets in.
The Automated Solution
Upload photos when you have time. We deliver them on a schedule. Your parents get consistent updates whether you remembered to send them or not.
Consistency builds connection. A photo every day is worth more than a photo dump every three months.
What to Send
The Big Moments
Birthdays, holidays, school events, sports games.
The Small Moments
Tuesday dinner. The dog being weird. Kids doing homework. The ordinary days they're missing.
The Context
Each photo can include a caption: "Soccer practice - she scored her first goal!"
Perfect for Long-Distance Families
When you live far from family, staying connected takes effort. Phone calls are great, but they require coordination. Visits are expensive and infrequent.
Photos bridge the gap.
Daily visual updates let grandparents feel included in everyday life, even from thousands of miles away.
Gone But Remembered users send photos to parents and grandparents in:
- ✓ Different states
- ✓ Different countries
- ✓ Assisted living facilities
- ✓ Independent living communities
- ✓ Anywhere with phone or email access
How It Works for Elderly Recipients
Step 1: You Upload
Add photos from your phone or connect to Google Photos. Takes 10 minutes.
Step 2: You Schedule
Choose delivery frequency and time. Morning works great—photo arrives with coffee.
Step 3: They Receive
Photo arrives via text or email. They tap to view it. They smile. Done.
Nothing else to do. Nothing to remember. Nothing to figure out.
Multiple Senders, One Happy Grandparent
Got siblings? Aunts and uncles? Multiple grandchildren?
Family Circle lets everyone contribute:
- ✓Daughter in Seattle uploads photos of the grandkids
- ✓Son in Austin adds photos from his family
- ✓Grandma in Florida receives from everyone
- ✓Each photo notes who sent it
Grandma doesn't need to manage multiple apps or conversations. Everything arrives in one simple stream.
Real Families, Real Results
"My mom is 84 and lives alone in Arizona. We're in Boston. She couldn't figure out any photo app we tried. Now she gets a photo of the kids every morning at 8am. She calls it her 'morning gift.' She's seen more of their daily life this year than the previous five years combined."
"Dad is in assisted living with early memory issues. The staff shows him his daily photo during breakfast. He might not always remember what he saw an hour later, but in that moment? Pure joy. That's worth everything."
"I was so bad about sending photos. Now I just dump my camera roll once a week and the system handles the rest. My parents get a photo every day and think I'm incredibly thoughtful. Win-win."

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my parent need to do anything?
Nothing. They receive photos the same way they receive text messages or emails. If they can read a text, they can see the photos.
What if they're not good with technology?
That's exactly who this is for. The photos arrive automatically. They don't need to navigate anything, remember passwords, or figure out apps.
Can I send photos to their landline?
Not directly, but if they have email access on a computer, we can deliver there. For truly tech-free seniors, some families receive the photos themselves and print them daily.
What if they're in assisted living?
Works great. Many facilities help residents check their messages. Some families send photos to a caregiver's phone or a facility tablet.
Can I include captions or messages with photos?
Yes! Add a note to any photo. "Birthday party last weekend - she turned 7!" helps grandparents understand what they're seeing.
What if multiple family members want to send photos?
Our Family Circle feature lets multiple people upload to the same recipient. Grandma gets photos from everyone in one stream.
They Miss So Much. Help Them Miss Less.
Every day your kids do something worth sharing. Every day, your parents wish they could see it.
The photos exist. The desire exists. The only thing missing is a system that actually works for people who didn't grow up with smartphones.
Gone But Remembered bridges the gap.
