For expecting parents

Their story starts before you meet.

The moment you found out. The names you’re considering. The things you already want them to know. Save these first chapters for your child, one small memory at a time.

Free for 30 days, then $99 a year. A gift bought later applies to the archive you’ve already started.

This week’s question · Answered by each parent
Week 3 · for both of you
“What do you imagine an ordinary Sunday with your child will feel like?”
Sealed in the archive · opens at 18
“Slow. Coffee going cold because we’re both watching you. Your other parent will pretend not to be the one who wakes you up early, and it will be them every time.”
— A parent, written while waiting
Chapter 01 · How it works · Three steps, years of story

One question a week while you wait, then a lifetime of them.

01

Start while you're expecting

Add your baby as expected — with a due date or without one — and name them later. One question arrives each week. Skip any, pause any time; nothing piles up.

02

Save words, photos, and voice notes

Answer in a few lines, record a voice note, or add a photo. Each parent answers separately, so both of your voices are kept.

03

Keep building as your child grows

The day they arrive, tell us the birthday. Everything you wrote becomes the first chapter, and the archive carries on — the circle, the milestones, the years.

Chapter 02 · Made for the waiting · For both of you

Both parents, separately

The same question goes to each of you. Two answers, two voices, one archive.

Private by default

Nobody in your circle hears about the baby until you choose to share the news.

No assumed milestones

The questions never assume a scan, an easy pregnancy, or how the story goes.

A gentle pause

Stop the weekly questions any time without explaining why. Your memories stay.

After the birth, the chapter becomes Before We Met You — a permanent part of the same archive, opened with everything else at 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 18, and 21, or whenever you choose. Expecting twins? Each baby gets their own archive, and a shared memory can be saved to both at once.

Whenever you’re ready

Write the part they’ll never remember.

Start today, add a name when you have one, and tell us the day they arrive.
