Read full description

KidSteps is your digital memory book for the milestones of your child's life. From the first judo throw to the best birthday party — you capture it in seconds and build a chronological album without any effort. How it works KidSteps asks smart questions based on what your child did. A judo match? "Won or lost? How did it feel?" A party? "Who came? What was the best part?" You add a photo, pick a mood stamp, done — the moment is saved to your timeline. Features • Smart question wizard per event type — sports, parties, school, first times, vacations • Warm polaroid design that invites you to browse • Automatic calendar detection: KidSteps recognizes sport and party events in your calendar and reminds you to capture them • Height and weight chart per child • Family viewer: share moments with grandparents, godparents — they follow along without an account • Yearbook generation (Premium): PDF or printed photo book with all moments from the past year • Multiple children (Premium) • Unlimited moments (Premium) Why KidSteps Memories fade. Photos drown in your camera roll. WhatsApp groups disappear. KidSteps holds your child's story — with context, feelings, and the little things you would otherwise forget. Privacy first Your data stays yours. We don't sell anything and photos are only accessible to you and family members you invite. Servers are in the EU. We only ask for the permissions you choose to enable (calendar, camera, notifications) and work fine without them. Free or Premium KidSteps is free with one child and 50 moments.
