Little Now
Read full descriptionHide full description
You will remember the birthdays. You will not remember how they said βyesterdayβ, or the face they made at the fan, or the thing they were certain about at four. Little Now is a child journal and a memory keeper, built on one small question a day, from the baby years to the school ones. Not a photo app, not a baby book with blanks to fill in. A question that is worth answering today, about the child you actually have, at the age they actually are. ONE QUESTION A DAY Every question is chosen for your child's age, and moves on when you have answered it. Skip it and you get another. Ask again tomorrow and it waits. There is no streak to break and nothing to catch up on. A JOURNAL THAT ASKS FIRST Most baby books hand you a blank page, and most of them stop at the first birthday. Little Now hands you a question instead, and keeps asking through the school years. What builds up is a child journal in your own words, and a memory book you never had to sit down and write. WRITE IT, SAY IT, OR KEEP THE PICTURE A memory can be a sentence you typed one-handed, a quote you never want to lose, a photograph, a video, or their voice. The voice is the one people are gladdest to have later. THEIR NOW A snapshot of who they are this season: favorite song, best friend, what they want to be. Take it again next year and watch it all change. ASK THEM AGAIN The same question every year, kept side by side, so you can read a person growing up in their own words. WHAT CAME BACK Little Now surfaces a memory from a year ago on an ordinary Tuesday, which is the day you most needed it. MONTHLY AND YEARLY RECAPS Built from what you actually saved, on your phone, and exportable as a PDF you can print or send to a grandparent. PRIVATE BY BUILD, NOT BY POLICY No account, content server, or analytics service. Little Now never uploads what you write, photograph, or record. It is stored privately on your phone; your platform backup may copy eligible data, and you can export everything still present, recordings included, into a single file you keep yourself. If you add a photo of a relative so the app can recognize them, that reading happens on your phone. What is kept is a set of numbers describing a face, never a picture, and never uploaded. YOURS, PAID OR NOT Everything you save stays readable and exportable forever, whether you are subscribed or not. Little Now will never hold your family's memories behind a renewal. A subscription unlocks capture, prompts and recaps, and starts with a 7-day free trial. Little Now is for the years you will not get back, and the details you are already losing. SUBSCRIPTION Little Now is $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year in the US store, and your own store shows the price in your currency before you confirm anything. Both plans start with a 7-day free trial. Apple takes payment from your Apple Account when the trial ends, and the plan renews at the same price each period unless you turn renewal off at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can do that anytime, including during the trial, in your Apple Account settings. Terms of use: https://littlenow.app/licence Privacy policy: https://littlenow.app/privacy
