Tiny Threads is a shared journal for everyone who helps raise your loved ones. Log a meal, share a photo, record a first step. Everything lands in one place your family can see — so nobody has to ask how the day went, and nothing gets lost in a group chat. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Parents, grandparents, nannies and anyone else who helps can share the same journal, whether you share one home or two. Everyone sees the same day. Everyone can add to it. WHAT YOU CAN KEEP • Meals — what they ate, when, and which food groups it covered • Moments — the photo, the story, the thing you want to remember • Milestones — first steps, first words, the ones that matter • Notes and reminders — appointments, medication, school changes SEE THE SHAPE OF THE WEEK A calendar marks every day something happened, so patterns show themselves. The insights view turns your own entries into gentle observations — how meals are balancing out, which days are busiest, where a milestone landed. REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOU Gentle nudges at mealtimes, one small memory a day, a weekly look back. All scheduled on your phone, all easy to switch off. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No advertising. No analytics. No tracking of any kind. Photos are stored privately and are never published to the open internet. Before a photo is saved we strip the hidden metadata your phone puts inside it — including the GPS coordinates of where it was taken, which for family photos is usually your home. Lock the document vault with your own four-digit passcode, or Face ID. Your journal is yours. We do not sell it, share it, or use it to train anything. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app. TINY THREADS PREMIUM The free plan covers two adults and one loved one. An optional subscription, which covers everyone in your family, unlocks: • More loved ones and adults — add everyone you care for and every caregiver to the family. • Memory books — pick a loved one and any date range, and Tiny Threads builds a printable PDF keepsake of every photo, moment, meal and milestone from that stretch. Save it to Files, mail it, or print it. • The document vault — scan custody orders, medical records, school forms and insurance cards with your camera (edges found and cropped automatically, any number of pages), or add a PDF you already have. Everyone in your family can open and save what is in the vault, with or without a subscription, so the whole family always has a copy. Cancel any time — it is one tap from the Settings screen. Premium is available monthly ($9.99) or yearly ($59.99). Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID. Payment is taken when you confirm the purchase, and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple subscription settings.
