About the Basecamp
the Basecamp is a private space for family. Every day, everyone posts one photo (called a Mem). You can't see anyone else's until you've posted your own, so it stays honest, and it stays a habit. Over time it becomes an archive of ordinary days you'd otherwise forget. Share videos and photos around the Campfire and send a Stoke to let someone know you are thinking of them. Around the campfire, share the bigger moments, the game-winning hit, the first day of school, the dog asleep on the couch, with the grandparents and everyone else who wants to see them. The schedule pulls in calendars from wherever your kids' sports live, so nobody has to check four different apps to find out when the game is. Every event shows whose it is. Send someone a little stoke when you're thinking about them. basecamp is invite-only. There's no feed of strangers, no discovery, no ads, and nothing to scroll through that isn't your own people. Built by a dad for his family.
What’s new
Version 1.2 · Updated October 9, 2026
Birthday Wishes. A special surprise from the Crew that you'll get to see on your birthday! Mems. Swipe between the day's photos without backing out. Pinch to zoom that actually holds. Photos load much faster, and videos now show up properly in the archive. The archive goes all the way back. No more six-month limit. Stoke. Long-press someone to add a little note to go along with it. Schedule pulls in changes from your calendar feeds when you reopen the app, so a rescheduled game shows the new time. Plus a long list of fixes to comments, posting, and video playback.
