The first "mama", the sleepy goodnights, the songs only a toddler can sing β€” kids' voices change fast. TinyTalk keeps them all in a private voice album, organized by child, date, and tag. Everything stays on your device: no account, no uploads β€” just your family's memories. Record your child's first words, bedtime stories, songs, funny conversations, and everyday little moments. TinyTalk organizes those recordings like a warm family album, so you can return to each memory by date, age, child, tag, or favorite. Core features: - Quick voice recording for meaningful family moments. - Timeline view to revisit recordings by date and age. - Memory collections for favorites, this month, earliest recordings, age stages, and special moments. - Multiple child profiles, so each child's voice memories stay organized. - Audio import from files, with Pro support for extracting audio from videos. - Local backup export and import with TinyTalk Pro, designed for device changes and long-term safekeeping. - Optional iCloud Sync with TinyTalk Pro, using the user's personal iCloud account across Apple devices. Privacy first: TinyTalk keeps child profiles, recordings, and backup data on your device by default. The app does not create a server account system and does not upload child recordings or personal family data to TinyTalk-owned servers. TinyTalk Pro users can choose to sync data through their personal iCloud account. Backup files only leave your device when you choose to export, save, or share them. TinyTalk is made for parents and guardians who want a quiet, private place for the voices that photos cannot keep. Yiya (Chinese only) adds guided parent-child activities, age references, observation checklists and growth records linked to recordings. Access requires an active 7-day trial or TinyTalk Pro, a one-time purchase, not a subscription. The trial requires no initial purchase. Yiya content is locked after entitlement expiry without deleting progress; ordinary recordings remain available. Yiya progress stays on this device and is excluded from iCloud sync and app backups. It supports family observation and interaction, not diagnosis or professional advice.
