A keepsake for the first six years

Every little step,
kept forever

The photos pile up in a camera roll nobody scrolls. LittleSteps turns them into a story: a guided map of the moments worth keeping, one gentle prompt a day, from the first hello to the first day of school.

A childhood is made of small things

How it works

Sixty seconds a day. That's the whole ask.

1

Add your little one

Name, birthday, a photo if you have one. We build their map from their age. No setup, no blank page.

2

Follow the path

A winding map of everything worth remembering, one chapter at a time. Tap the glowing milestone to capture it.

3

One moment a day

A photo, a sentence, a number on the scale. Sixty seconds today becomes the story you read together in twenty years.

The adventure map

A path, not a blank page

Every baby book starts with an empty line and the question what was I supposed to write here? LittleSteps answers it. Your child's map already knows what comes next. It just waits for you at the glowing milestone.

  • It moves with them

    Chapters unlock as your child grows. Nothing ahead is hidden: you can peek, you just cannot capture it yet.

  • Done is done, visibly

    Completed milestones turn violet and stay on the path. The map becomes a picture of the years you have already kept.

  • The map is yours

    Not every milestone fits every family. Rename one, move it, take it off the map, or write your own in its place.

Memories

The details you swear you'll remember

The word she made up for water. The way he fell asleep mid-sentence. LittleSteps asks for the small things while they are still true (a photo, three lines, how it felt) and files them on a timeline that reads like a book.

Up to 3 photos

Per memory, in a swipeable carousel. Enough to tell it, few enough to choose.

A mood for each one

Joyful Proud Funny Tender

One free memory a day

Deliberately. A journal you can dump into is a journal you abandon by March, so LittleSteps asks for one and makes it count. Chapter milestones have their own allowance.

Sharing a child

The other people who love them, on the same map

A childhood is not kept by one parent alone. Share a child with the other parent, a grandparent, an aunt, a big sister, and they open the app on their own phone to the very same adventure.

  1. Step 1

    Everybody has a six-character code

    Yours sits on your profile and one tap copies it. Ask the grandparents for theirs, type it in, and they are on the journey. No invite email left unread, no link a stranger could follow.

  2. Step 2

    Say who they are

    Mother, father, brother, sister, grandparent, aunt or uncle. The family list then reads like a family rather than a list of accounts, and their relation sits beside their name.

  3. Step 3

    Decide what they can do

    A viewer reads the adventure and changes nothing. An editor adds memories and milestones, exactly like you. Change your mind later and the switch is one tap.

Add them

Every memory keeps its author

A quiet byline on each one (by James, edited by Grandma Ruth), so in twenty years you still know whose voice you are reading.

Shared, never duplicated

One map, one timeline, one set of trophies. Whatever anyone adds appears for everybody, and a child shared with you is marked as theirs, not yours.

You keep the door

Only the parent who started the adventure can let people in or hand out access. Remove someone whenever you like, or leave an adventure yourself. Nothing is ever public.

Because remembering deserves a reward

Not points for their own sake, but a reason to open the app on the ordinary Tuesday that turns out to be the day he says your name for the first time.

The chapters

From the first hello to the first school bag

Every milestone is written by parents who kept forgetting to write things down, and arranged so the right question always arrives at the right age.

01

0–3 months

The First Hello

Those first blurry, sleepless, wonderful weeks

The Newborn stage

02

3–6 months

Waking to the World

Laughs, rolls, and the first real look around

The Explorer stage

03

6–12 months

On the Move

Sitting, crawling, and suddenly nowhere is safe

The Adventurer stage

04

1–2 years

Little Explorer

Walking, talking, and testing every limit

The Toddler stage

05

2–3 years

Words and Wonder

Questions, opinions, and very big feelings

The Little Talker stage

06

3–4 years

A Mind of Their Own

Why? Why? Why? — and stories all their own

The Dreamer stage

07

4–5 years

Making and Believing

Drawing, building, pretending, befriending

The Creator stage

08

5–6 years

Ready for the World

School, a lost tooth, and one very big kid

The Big Kid stage

Every kind of memory

A whole childhood, not just the chapters

First milestones matter. So does the song only they know the words to, the fear of the vacuum cleaner, and the exact number on the scale at nine months. Every memory carries its category, so the timeline can be read a hundred different ways.

Firsts

First smile, first milestones, first word

Growth

Weight, height, teeth, shoe size

Family

Family tree, visitors, letters to baby

Events

Birthdays, holidays, trips, ceremonies

Daily Life

Favorite foods, routines, funny habits

Emotional

What makes them laugh, fears, comfort objects

Creative

First drawing, favorite songs, pretend play

Medical

Vaccinations, doctor visits, allergies

The rest of it

Small things, thought about properly

One app, every child

Each child gets their own map, their own XP and their own trophies, and switching between them takes a tap.

Growth that draws itself

Log a weight or a height inside a milestone and the chart on the home screen fills in behind it. No spreadsheet, no separate app.

Safe even if the phone is not

Every memory and photo is kept in your own private account rather than on the handset alone. Add an email and the whole map follows you to the next phone.

Bend the map to your family

Rename anything, move a milestone to another chapter, add one of your own, or take off what will never apply. The guided map is a starting point, not a cage.

Recap cards worth sending

Turn any captured memory into a designed card (photo, date, mood, chapter) and share it with the grandparents in two taps.

Nudges, never nagging

Milestone reminders, a daily quest, a streak alert at bedtime. Each one is a switch you own, and off is a perfectly good setting.

In twenty years, this is the app they ask you to open

Not a folder of 14,000 photos. A story in your words, with the dates right. The one thing you can hand over that cannot be re-downloaded.

Every child gets their own map, and everyone who loves them can be on it.

LittleSteps Joyful

Questions

The things parents ask first

Not even close. The map is a suggestion, not a checklist. Take off anything that does not fit your family, rename a milestone to match what actually happened, or add your own. Nothing nags you about the ones you leave empty.

No. LittleSteps starts wherever you are and opens the chapter for their age, but every earlier chapter stays open too. Plenty of parents fill in the first year from memory over a few quiet evenings.

Yes, and they never share a page. Each child gets their own map, their own memories, their own XP and trophies, and switching between them takes a tap.

Yes. Every account has a six-character share code on its profile: ask for theirs, add them to your child, say how they are related and whether they can add memories or only read them. They see the same map from their own phone, and you can change their access or remove them at any time.

Only as much as you allow. A viewer reads and nothing more. An editor adds memories and milestones alongside you, and each one carries their name. Renaming the child, sharing with somebody else and deleting the adventure stay with the parent who started it.

Because a journal you can dump into is a journal you abandon. One a day keeps it precious and keeps the timeline readable. Milestones on the chapter map have their own daily allowance, so a big day is never cut short.

In your own private account on our servers, not only on the handset. Nothing is public, and nobody else sees a thing until you invite them with their share code. Add an email and a password when you are ready — that is what lets you sign back in on a new phone, so a lost handset is not a lost childhood.

Yes, and that is the part we take most seriously. Photos are encrypted and kept private, and they cannot be reached from the outside — only you and the people you have added to that child can ever see them. A child's photos are never used for advertising, never used to train anything, and never sold or passed to a data broker. Delete a photo and it is gone for good, and deleting the child or your account takes everything with it.

Starting costs nothing: add a child, follow the map, capture memories. If a paid tier arrives later, this is the promise we keep — memories you have already recorded never go behind a payment, and we never delete them for not paying.

On the App Store and on Google Play — the buttons at the top of this page take you straight there. It costs nothing to start, and you can add your first child before you type an email address.
