Everkeep Journal
Read full descriptionHide full description
Everkeep is a private baby memory book that lives on your iPhone. Every photo, video, voice note and written note becomes a page in a book about your child, filed by age, with no account, no cloud feed and no subscription. A BOOK, NOT A CAMERA ROLL • Each child gets a book with a cover in the colour you choose. • Pages are sorted into chapters by month of life: newborn, 1 month, 2 months, and on through the years. • Every kind of memory has its own page: a photo print, a video, a voice note, a written story, or a scanned card or drawing. BRING IN THE PHOTOS YOU ALREADY HAVE • Import from your photo library in a few taps. Everkeep files each photo and video under your child's age on the day it was taken. • Share a photo or a few words to Everkeep from Photos, Safari or any other app. • Changed your mind? Undo an import for 30 days. FIRSTS, MILESTONES AND GROWTH • Keep the firsts: first smile, first tooth, first steps, first word. • Record height, weight and head size, and see how far your baby has come. • A gentle reminder on each month birthday, or once a week, if you want one. Reminders are off until you turn them on. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your memories stay on your device. Everkeep has no account, no ads and no social feed. • Lock the book with a PIN, Face ID or Touch ID. • Save a backup file whenever you like and keep it wherever you trust. • Works offline. Available in English and Spanish, with a night mode for late feeds. FREE TO KEEP, ONE PURCHASE TO PRINT Keeping pages is free and stays free: photos, videos, voice and notes, as many as you like. Everkeep Pro is a single purchase, not a subscription. It adds: • The printed book as a clean PDF to share, save or send to a printer • Month films saved to your iPhone • A book for every child • Looking Back: pages that return on their anniversaries • Handwriting read into text and voice notes written out, without a limit Everkeep is a baby journal, milestone tracker, photo album and keepsake book in one quiet app, made for parents who want to keep their child's first years to themselves.
