“Our mission is to help families stay close, no matter the distance through simple, meaningful connection.”

We’re Kees Jan and Roy just two family guys who realized one simple truth:
we barely knew what was happening in the daily lives of the people we love most.

Between busy schedules, distance, and endless group chats, we noticed how easy it is to drift apart. Our grandma would often say she missed seeing what we were up to. Not the big events, but the little moments that make up everyday life. That’s when we decided something had to change.

So we built Famly first just for ourselves, as a private space to share daily moments with our loved ones. No noise, no ads, no endless scrolling. Just connection.
Soon we realized that if we needed this, others probably did too.

Today, Famly

 is growing into a safe, private place where families can stay close, even when they’re far apart.
