A small, trusted crew for every little moment.
Cubcrew is a private photo and video app built around small, parent-vetted crews — your child’s close friends, their parents, and the grandparents and caregivers you actually want. No public profiles. No strangers. No algorithm. No ads.
How a crew works
Not a feed. A circle.
Three steps, no setup wizard, no “engage with your network.” Start a crew, drop photos, order a keepsake when the year was worth printing.
Start your child’s crew
Add the two or three other families your child actually plays with — and the grandparents and caregivers who would melt at a Tuesday afternoon photo.
Drop photos and quick videos
Drop a photo from the park, a 30-second clip of the first swim, a screenshot of a drawing. Comments run on a single thread the whole crew sees.
Order a keepsake, when you want
One-tap photobooks and prints, hand-bound by a print partner — the same pipeline Tinybeans spent a decade refining. Nothing auto-ships. You decide.
Why crews
The bottleneck in parent sharing isn’t storage. It’s trust — knowing exactly who is on the other end, and exactly who isn’t.
Family group chats leak. “Friends-only” Instagram is one privacy slip away from public. Cubcrew starts inside the small circle you’d actually like to share with — and stays there.
Who can see a post
Only the parents and caregivers you invited — no one else.
What runs in the feed
Your crew’s photos, oldest to newest. Nothing else.
How photos monétize
They don't. Optional photobooks are the only paid piece.
How a stranger finds you
They can’t. There's no public profile, no search, no discovery.
Privacy, by default
Sharp defaults, because parents are right to be picky.
These aren’t toggle-on settings we ask you to discover. They’re how the app works on day one.
Invite-only entries
Every crew is started by a parent who already knows every other parent on it. No nearby strangers, no public join codes, no QR-walk-up.
No public profile
Your child's photos never become a public account. There is no profile to discover, no follower number to chase, no public landing page for the world to find.
No ad tracking
Photos of a kiddo are not a product to optimize. We don’t run ads, don’t sell data, and don’t embed third-party trackers in your feed.
No algorithm
A crew shows you the things your crew posted — in time order, oldest to newest, like a photo album should.
Optional keepsakes
The photos stay digital. The ones worth printing arrive in the mail.
Free stays free: unlimited albums, unlimited comments, unlimited invites. Photobooks and prints are the only paid piece — the same print pipeline Tinybeans spent a decade refining. Nothing auto-ships; you pick the photos, you decide when.
Waitlist
Small on purpose. Built one crew at a time.
We’re onboarding a few crews a week and listening hard. Drop us a line — we read every email.
