When our son Henry was born in 2022, my wife and I started a shared Apple Note.
Every time he said something funny or did something adorable, we’d write it down.
Over time, that note became one of our most treasured possessions.
It held hundreds of little moments we would have otherwise forgotten.
But it was also becoming difficult to manage.
The note got so long that we had to scroll forever to reach the bottom. We forgot dates. We skipped memories because typing was inconvenient. And when our second son Luke arrived, stories from both kids started getting mixed together.
Most of all, we kept having versions of the same conversation:
“Luke did the cutest thing the other day.”
“What was it?”
“I can’t remember.”
That feeling was awful.
So we built something for ourselves.
An app where we could simply talk naturally for a few seconds and have the memory saved automatically.
No typing. No organizing. No scrolling through a giant note.
Just tell the story and move on with your day.
When we showed the app to a few parent friends, the reaction surprised us.
Nearly everyone had their own version of the same problem.
Some had giant Notes documents. Some texted memories to themselves. Some kept meaning to start a baby journal and never did.
Almost everyone felt like they were forgetting things they wished they could remember.
So we decided to share what we had built.
