Start your family'sstory the right way.
Own every memory. From day one.
Google Photos is fine for now. Until it isn't. The Ark gives your growing family a private home for every photo, video and memory, on hardware you own, from the very first moment.
Ships in 14 days · Set up in under 10 minutes
Google Photos is free today. What about in 10 years?
Free services change. Pricing changes. Companies shut down or get acquired. The photos you take today deserve a home that will still be there for your kids and grandkids.
Free tiers don't last forever
Google Photos already ended its free unlimited plan. The next change is a matter of when, not if.
Your photos fund their business
If you're not paying for the product, your photos are. Meta, Google and Apple scan your images to target ads.
One device failure = everything gone
Phone backups to the cloud feel safe, until the cloud changes the rules. A home server you own doesn't.
The Ark is the last place you'll ever need. One private hub for your family's photos, messages and memories. On hardware in your home. Owned by you. Forever.
Set up in under 10 minutes.Simple enough for everyone in the family.
