The First Hello
Those first blurry, sleepless, wonderful weeks
The Newborn stage
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
LittleSteps asks about them one at a time, while they are still true
How it works
Name, birthday, a photo if you have one. We build their map from their age. No setup, no blank page.
A winding map of everything worth remembering, one chapter at a time. Tap the glowing milestone to capture it.
A photo, a sentence, a number on the scale. Sixty seconds today becomes the story you read together in twenty years.
The adventure map
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 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
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.
"More berries please!"
Four words, one small hand pointing at the bowl, and the whole kitchen went quiet.
Two year check-up
Right on the line she's been walking since birth.

Sharing a child
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.
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.
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.
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.

What they can do
Reads the adventure, changes nothing.
A quiet byline on each one (by James, edited by Grandma Ruth), so in twenty years you still know whose voice you are reading.
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.
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.
XP · levels · trophies · streaks
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
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.

Every kind of memory
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.

The rest of it
Each child gets their own map, their own XP and their own trophies, and switching between them takes a tap.
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.
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.
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.
Turn any captured memory into a designed card (photo, date, mood, chapter) and share it with the grandparents in two taps.
Milestone reminders, a daily quest, a streak alert at bedtime. Each one is a switch you own, and off is a perfectly good setting.
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.
Three milestones to the sofa
Then she sat down hard and laughed like she had planned it that way.
Joyful Questions
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.

Add your little one, and the first chapter of their map opens tonight. The rest arrives one gentle question at a time.
