In their own words
Nostalgia
Nostalgia helps families scan, restore, organize, and share old photographs together with their stories. Its tools include repair, deglare, denoising, enhancement, optional colorization, background removal, and animation. Photo Insight checks an image and recommends a restoration step before one is applied. The archive can keep source photos and restored versions with people, captions, notes, dates, and places. Family-tree import can connect people in photos with relatives, and relatives can answer shared photo questions without accounts; the account holder reviews replies before adding them. Prints can be scanned by phone, while the Mac beta supports compatible flatbed scanners. Nostalgia is available on web, macOS, iOS, and Android. The free plan includes 10 restores per month and 30 welcome restores, with one restore used for each cloud repair pass. Family costs $7.99 a month and includes 60 restores monthly, 50 GB storage, and batch restoration for up to 100 photos. The maker says uploaded photos and restoration results are not used to train AI without separate explicit consent.
