Notabli is a calm and private family social network for sharing kid moments with your other favorite people. In addition to posting photos and videos, you can capture audio recordings, notes, and even the funny things they say as quote moments.
Just add your kids to Notabli and share your unique invite link with the world (e.g., "Introducing baby Buzz!", or "My kid is 17, but I still privately document their life, of course!"). When people request to keep up, you choose who to approve and grant access — you have complete control. Anyone you approve will be able to see the moments in the app, on the web, and via email. And they can optionally print beautiful hardcover photo books of the kids they choose, automatically with Notabli Book subscriptions.

"[Notabli] delivers the simplicity and productive limitations that the symbol of family stands for. It’s a human-scale model for giving and receiving the records of our lives with the family-or-friend, neighbor-or-colleague communities we belong to, and want to build."
— Sara Hendren, Care is not an infinite scroll (New_ Public)
"Notabli is an app for (securely) capturing photos and memories of your kids. What a great concept."

Notabli FAQ
Is Notabli free?
Yes, Notabli is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Notabli legit?
✅ The Notabli app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
If you have a young child in your life, this app is a wonderful piece of the puzzle. How do you record those spontaneous moments and utterances so you’ll remember them in 5 years much less 5 minutes? How do you share them with your loved ones and nobody else? I am so glad we stumbled upon this app in its early days and used it diligently when our son was younger. My only request would be that the app developer partner with someone to make books out of the material we’ve uploaded so that we can store the material offline forever.
Why do I need to pay all of a sudden?
Been using this for 4 years now all of a sudden I have to pay to upload videos. Not cool. Will find something that’s less buggy.
Have to pay now
We’ve used this app for 3+ years. My sister has used it for longer.
We both love it because we don’t wanna throw all these pics and videos on Facebook and we want grandparents to be able to see the kids grow.
Recently an update changed it so that all we can do is photos and not videos. I’m pretty upset about that because there’s no other way to send my grandmother videos.
I’ll still recommend it but I’m only giving two stars due to the need to pay now.
Amazing
So happy with Notibli. Been using it for 5 years now and it’s the only way to keep family and friends updated with kid photos. The email updates are key and I love that is just family vs social media.
The perfect way to share photos of your kids
Private, ad free, easy to use, and now even more features are being added. There’s no better way to share pictures of your children!
Love this app!!!
Notabli is the only place I feel good about posting photos of my kids online. It’s become a really nice library of images (and printed books!) to look back on as my kids grow. And it’s the best way to stay in touch with other kids I love and who I’m not able to see during the pandemic.
6 years and going strong
We have used this service for 6 years beginning with the birth of our oldest. We captured the weather the day she was born “feels like -40” (screenshot of weather app) and haven't looked back. It’s the only way I share photos with family. Private, ad-free and easy to use. My whole family uses this app and loves it. We also get the photo books sent automatically.. baby book, done! Family albums, done. Highly recommend!
Great private, simple but powerful app
Love the privacy and the lack of ads. Very simple easy-to-use interface. It’s simply perfect for keeping a small group of friends and family in on your kiddos life. Sometimes uploads on videos can be buggy and you might have to try it again... but it’s free and private, so it’s well worth that small inconvenience. Love that it has apps for iOS and android and a website as well. Just really well thought through and simple. Family loves being able to download the media for offline use too.
Two years in and still loving it
Downloaded Notabli two years ago to use to share photos of our baby with friends and family because we aren’t big fans of giving our kid an online presence before they can give permission. Now with even more privacy red flags with Facebook Im really glad we did. Two years in and we love it. Looking back I’m so glad we’re using it, as it basically has become a digital baby book. Because I didn’t want to overload people I curated the couple of things I posted every week or two, and it’s created a really special collection.
Friends and family get email updates with no ads and they aren’t added to a spam list (a friend of mine uses tinybeans and the ads and spam they send me drives me crazy).
The platform is intuitive and easy, both in an app and in a traditional browser. My only complaint is that I wish you could reply to people’s comments. And I wish that more of my friends had kids on the platform.
Highly, highly recommend.
Nice format like the album makeup
So far I Like the format and uploading is easy! I like being able to assign both kids or individually. I’m interested to see what possible sorts are going to be a available like by year month etc. making books could be chronologically fun. This app will be really nice for my ex-wife and I to share old memories and new one with our kids. That’s what my hope is for the app.
My one suggestion and reason for 4 star rather than 5 is the bulk loading option isn’t there. If I could select a number of images and upload it would be less time intensive.
