Gather around.
Share your team'stroop'sclub'sgroup'screw'scommunity'schapter'scircle'steam's
story.
The place where groups come together to collect, share, and relive their best moments. Private, simple, and built for storytelling.
No credit card required
Every group has stories worth keeping.
Your photos are scattered across phones, group chats, and cloud accounts. Fireside brings them together—where everyone can add to the story and no moment gets lost.
"Finally, a place where all our trip photos actually end up. No more chasing people down for their camera rolls."
Sarah M.
Scout Leader, Troop 42

Your photos. Your rules.
We built Fireside on a simple principle: your photos are yours. Not ours to sell, train on, or monetize.
No AI Training
Your photos are never used to train AI models. Ever. Your memories belong to you, not our algorithms.

Facial recognition is disabled by default. Admins choose if and when to enable it for their organization.
Member Takedowns
Any member can request a photo be removed. Once removed, that photo can never be re-uploaded.
Full Data Export
Download all your photos anytime. We'll never hold your memories hostage.
