Inside the app

Every first sews on a new patch.

A diary made of fabric and stitches, not charts. Real screens from the app, which is in development now.

  • Month 4 page: name this month and take this month's photo, with the firsts from that month below
    Months

    A photo every month

    Last month's photo appears as a ghost in the camera, so you can line up the same pose.

  • A saying card: The moon is following our car because it likes us. Mila, 5 months, 3 days
    Sayings

    The things they say

    Words and sayings, kept as cards you can save as an image or share when you choose.

  • Letters screen: a sealed letter, Before your first birthday, to open on Oct 18, 2028
    Letters

    Letters for later

    Write to your child now and choose the day it opens. Until then, only the envelope shows.

  • Also inside:
  • Firsts quilt
  • Everyday moments
  • Keepsakes
  • Voice notes
  • Sleep sounds
  • Night mode
  • Twins and siblings
  • App lock
  • ZIP export
Our promise

No account. Your diary stays yours.

  • On your phoneMoments, photos, voice notes and letters are stored on your device. We never receive them.
  • Your own backupFree and optional: your own Google Drive or iCloud, which we cannot read. Or a ZIP file you keep.
  • Clean photosLocation and camera details are removed from the photos kept in your diary.
  • A diary, not a chartNo charts, no comparisons and no health advice. Just your family's story.

Firstlings is free to use. The diary, firsts, the free sleep sounds, backup to your own cloud and export of your data stay free, with no account and no paywall on start. The app will also offer optional paid extras through Google Play and the App Store: Firstlings Plus, as a subscription (monthly, or yearly with a 7-day free trial) or a one-time Lifetime purchase, and Siblings, a one-time unlock for children from later births (your first child, twins included, is always free). We plan banner ads on browsing screens only (never while you write, at night, while sounds play or when you share) and optional reward videos. The price is always shown in the store before you pay, and you can cancel a subscription any time in your store account.
