"What was your favorite part of today?" One question. Asked every day. It takes a few seconds — and it changes everything. Favorite Part helps you build a daily conversation ritual with your child. Tap record, ask the question, and capture their answer in their own words. Over time, you'll see what lights them up, watch how they grow, and build a library of moments you'll never want to forget. SIMPLE BY DESIGN • Tap to record, tap to stop. No setup, no accounts, no friction. • Works for the whole family — add all your kids, each with their own color. • Daily reminders keep the habit going. DISCOVER WHAT MATTERS TO THEM • Every answer is transcribed automatically. • Themes are detected (friends, school, animals, outdoors, etc.) so you can see patterns. • Family insights show what matters across siblings and how it changes over time. • A conversation calendar shows the days you've captured. SHARE THE MOMENTS • Generate highlight reels from a week of answers in one tap. • Send reels to grandparents, a partner, or save them for yourself. • Customize which clips make the cut. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT. • By default, your videos never leave your device. • Transcription is handled by iOS, not by us. • No account. No subscription. No ads. • We don't have a server that stores your family's videos — because we built the app so we never need one. Start today. Ask the question. See what they say.
