Milestones
First steps, first words, the day they finally slept through. Mark a moment as a milestone and it stands out forever in the timeline.
Features
Everything you would otherwise lose.
Storygarden is built around one idea: capture has to be faster than posting it somewhere else, or it will not happen on the day it matters.
Photos and short videos
The pictures that deserve better than page four hundred of a camera roll. Stored privately, shown as a proper timeline rather than a grid of dates.
Voice and words
Record how they actually sounded saying it. Save the sentence you would otherwise have forgotten by Thursday.
A timeline per child
Scroll their whole story by date, or filter by tag, milestone, or favourite. Switch between children without losing your place.
Text Capture
Text a photo or a sentence to Storygarden and it becomes a memory. No app to open, no moment lost while you find the right screen.
Saved for later
Write a letter now and set the date it opens. A birthday years away, or the morning they leave home.
Room for the family
Share exactly what you choose with the people you choose, and keep a shared family calendar for the dates everybody needs.
Capture
Whatever the memory happens to be.
- Text. A sentence they said, typed before you forget it.
- Photos. One or many, kept in private storage rather than a public bucket.
- Short videos. The clip where it actually happens, with a poster frame in the timeline and no autoplay.
- Voice notes. How they sounded, not just how they looked.
- Milestones. Mark a moment as a first, and it stands out forever.
- Tags and favourites. Loose organisation you can add later, or never.
Location is never recorded. The app does not ask for it, and location permissions are blocked outright in the Android build.
Text Capture
Save a memory without opening anything.
Connect your phone number once. After that, texting a photo or a sentence to Storygarden turns it into a memory.
- Confident messages are saved straight to the right child
- Anything ambiguous waits in a review inbox for you to correct
- You can edit the title, note, date, child, and tags before publishing
- Storygarden reads nothing on your phone — only the messages you send it
Text Capture costs money to run on every message, so it is a separate subscription. See pricing.
Sharing
You decide who sees what, one share at a time.
A link to exactly what you picked
Choose the child and the memories. Anyone holding the link sees those and nothing else. Add a passcode if you want, and turn it off whenever you like.
Invite someone by name
A named person accepts an invitation and sees the memories you granted them. It costs them nothing. Comments and reactions are off unless you turn them on.
Deliver it years from now
Write a letter and set the date it opens. It waits until then, and it is delivered to an address you typed — Storygarden never creates an account for a child.
One calendar for the family
Birthdays, appointments, school runs, holidays. Family members see the calendar; being in a family never reveals a child’s timeline.
Control
Things you can always do.
Export everything
An archive of your memories and media, by a private link that expires.
Delete everything
From inside the app, or from the web without installing anything.
Keep what you have saved
If a subscription lapses, nothing is deleted. Your memories stay readable; only new writing is paused until it is sorted out.
