Our story
Why FamiZ
FamiZ was born from CadeauZ, and CadeauZ from a family question: what to give each other, with no duplicates and without spoiling the surprise.
Who we areWhere it comes from
It all started with CadeauZ
Sandrine and I came up with CadeauZ together, during our computer science studies, where we met. At our first holidays together, each of our families wanted to give a gift to the other half of the couple, and we soon found ourselves passing messages back and forth between them.
So we built a first version, entirely private, for our two families. It served for several years, without being built to grow, until the fire at an OVH datacenter, in 2021, took it away along with its backups.
We then looked for an existing solution. None suited us: we wanted a tool that was private, simple to use, and designed for children too.
Today
Lists for our daughters
Today we are the parents of two young daughters. The question of gifts comes back at every celebration, and the tools we found are not made for them: we do not want to expose them, and they still believe in Santa Claus.
We took our time to think it through before publishing this version. We hope it will be useful to you.

Why a FamiZ account
Other moments of family life deserve the same discretion: photos, conversations between relatives. FamiZ is the account that will bring these apps together, so that families can do without the tech giants wherever they wish. No date is promised.
What FamiZ holds to
The data stays with the family
It is neither sold nor rented, and is hosted in France.
Children are protected
Their profiles are kept by their parents, with no email address or sign-up of their own.
Few things, done well
An app only arrives when it is truly useful.
