Why we’re building Mantel

We’ve always struggled to remember the moments in our lives and stay close to the people we love. Even with all our photos, calendars, and journals, it’s still hard to look back. We leave traces of our lives everywhere, in photos, calendars, and small keepsakes, but nothing brings them together.

So we built Mantel, a memory platform designed for all of your personal media. We named it Mantel because it feels familiar, like the place in a home where the things that matter most naturally collect. Some memories stay just for you. Others are easy to share.

Our vision

We imagine a world where it’s easy to reflect on our lives and stay close to the people we love. Our vision is a world where preserving and sharing your memories feels natural and pressure-free. We hope Mantel becomes that place you can always return to, where your memories keep living.

Our product

Mantel is a memory platform that helps you collect your photos and moments in one private place. You can add context to them, find them later, and share them easily with the people you care about.

Our thoughts on privacy

Coming from health tech, we’ve seen firsthand how important it is to protect sensitive information and design experiences people can trust. We believe your personal media deserves the same care as personal health information: private by default, handled responsibly, and never sold or used for ads. Mantel is being built with privacy at its core, designed to keep your memories safe and yours.
