Inside Folwen
A family history you can take with you
Make portability part of your family’s digital home from the beginning.
The everyday friction.
Years of family contributions can become tied to one account or service. It matters whether you can keep a useful copy tomorrow. A lasting home needs a way to leave with your history.
A different way through.
Folwen includes Family Space archive exports in the web application. The product direction pairs managed hosting with a self-hosting path, so families can consider where their space runs and how to preserve its contents.
