Album page scan, front & back
One photo of a whole page finds every print and straightens it. Flip the page, photograph the backs, and we match each back to its front. See how.
Swift AppGen Solutions
Every photo has a story.
Capture both before it’s gone. Scan both sides of a printed photo— the face of the moment and the handwriting families leave on the paper back— then keep the names, notes, and care that make a memory last.

Features
Label old prints the way the paper back was meant to be read
Shoebox Stories is built for shoeboxes, reunion tables, and the quiet work of remembering—not for feeding face models or chasing engagement.
Big, numbered steps
Step 1 of 5, large buttons, larger text, and a How To that uses the same numbers. Stop any time and resume later.
Dual-side capture
Photograph the print and the paper back together so the image and the handwritten names stay paired.
Paper-back OCR confirm
Suggest text from the back, then you confirm—so Aunt June stays Aunt June, not a guess locked in forever.
Tags, notes & voice
Add who, where, and the story you still remember—typed or spoken—before the details fade.
Living & remembered care
Gentle care notes for people still with us—and for those we hold in memory—without turning grief into a feed.
Invite-to-name
Ask relatives to help name faces and places. Sharing unlocks with Album premium—not forced on the free tier.
Provenance
Keep a clear trail of where a photo came from and who contributed—so the album stays trustworthy over years.
Reunion kiosk
Put the album on a shared screen at gatherings so cousins can browse and contribute without hunting through phones.
Heirloom export
Take a durable export of what you’ve built—for safekeeping beyond any single device or store account.
Content safety
Clear acceptable-use rules, reporting to thomas.swift@swiftappgensolutions.com, and PhotoDNA when sharing is enabled. CSAM is never tolerated.
Privacy, said plainly: Shoebox Stories does not use face recognition and does not build biometric face templates.
We do not train ML models on your albums, we do not show ads, and we do not sell your personal information.
