A book every season
Each child gets their own spring, summer, fall and winter book, filling up as you go. Like a yearbook, but just for them.
Grandma sees the first steps. The internet doesn’t.
Family Circle is a private, encrypted space for up to 10 grown-ups. Every memory has its own audience, so you can share the recital with everyone and keep the surprise party photos from the person it’s for. Nothing is ever public unless you choose to make it public.
Coming Family Circle is in development. How it will work
Only me
The default. It never leaves your phone.
Chosen family
Pick exactly who sees it. Everyone else never gets the key.
Your Family Circle
Up to 10 grown-ups: parents, grandparents, the aunt who lives far away.
The world
Only if you export it yourself. Your call, every single time.
A yearbook for every kid, four times a year.
Every memory you tag lands in that child’s book for the season. Flip through it on your phone any time. When printing opens, turn any book into a hardcover to keep on the shelf.

Voice notes

Optional face matching to find the kids in your photos. It never leaves the device, and one tap erases it.
Logging streaks
A gentle nudge in the morning and the evening, and a streak that forgives a missed day.
