Made for parents, careful with little details
Your child's information stays private and stays minimal. Here's exactly how we handle it.
Only a first name
We ask for a first name and the things they love, nothing more. No last names, birthdays, or photos.
Private to your account
Your family's profiles and stories are locked to your account, enforced at the database level.
Gentle by design
Every story is age-appropriate: kind, comforting, and always ends happily.
Delete anytime
Remove a profile or a story whenever you like, and it's gone for good.
