I grew up in a home full of photos.

My dad's Minolta witnessed some of the best bits of my childhood. While I remain shy of the camera, I'm grateful for all that he captured. On the rare occasions I flip through his albums, they ground me to my roots.

30 years later, my daughter is growing up around phones clicking even more photos. While her very best moments go uncaptured, the rest end up on Ente. I hope she'll be grateful for some of these memories, we are.

This cross-generational aspect to photos is something I've begun to appreciate since becoming a parent. Posterity has become a stronger theme - I want my family to have access to my albums when I'm not around.

To solve these personal needs we've built a feature, that we believe will be useful to more customers in the long run.

Legacy

Legacy introduces account inheritance to Ente.

You can add trusted contacts, who can request to recover your account. If you do not reject their request within the stipulated time period, they will have an option to reset your password and access your account.

All of this, end-to-end encrypted.

This is an important step in Ente's journey towards posterity. We as a company have to outlive our people. Perhaps helping Ente last a lifetime will be our legacy.

Thank you for being a part.
