About OllieTree

A private digital home for the people you call family.

Not another social network. A warm, simple place where your family can stay connected, share memories, and pass stories down the line.

Born from one big Portuguese family with 70+ relatives — now built for families everywhere.

Why this matters

Social media is loud. Family should feel small and close.

Between endless feeds, group texts, and phones full of photos, it’s never been easier to share — and never easier to lose the things that really matter. We wanted something quieter.

For grandparents, parents, and the kids coming up behind us.

You don’t need the whole world to see every photo, inside joke, or voice note from Grandma. But you do want a place where your people can find them — years from now — without digging through old phones or buried text threads.

OllieTree is that place: private by design, simple enough for elders, modern enough for the younger generation, and focused on one thing — your family’s story.

Real life happens in the in-between moments. We built OllieTree so those memories don’t disappear.

Our story

It started with one big Portuguese family.

OllieTree began as a way to keep one large extended Portuguese family connected — over seventy relatives, spread across homes, states, and generations. Holidays and barbecues were full of laughter and stories, but we noticed something important: the stories weren’t being saved anywhere.

The elders would talk about “back in the day,” the kids would scroll on their phones, and somewhere in the middle we realized… if we don’t capture this, it disappears.

So OllieTree was built as a private space where our own family could share photos, pin down memories, build a living family tree, and invite the next generation to see exactly where they come from. It worked so well for us that we knew other families needed it too.

Typical social media

Too loud. Too public.

Built to broadcast, chase attention, and keep you scrolling.

  • Strangers, brands, and algorithms in every corner.
  • Important memories buried under everything else.
  • Harder for elders to use and trust.
