You smile with your eyes first. A quick glance, checking it is really allowed, and only then with your whole body. When mum lifted you high into the air this month, you spread your arms straight away. You already knew who was standing beneath you.
First look, then dare, then all the way. That is who you are.
62You capture small moments in a private app: a sentence from dad, a Wednesday at grandma's, something only you saw. Twelve months later there is one book with the stories that capture who she really is.
Free to try · Book included with Plus and Family · Printed in Europe
Small moments become stories. Stories that capture who she really is.
"She said 'dada' today. Very softly, as if she wanted to try it out first. Then she kept it to herself for the rest of the day."
"When the blackbird in my garden began to sing, she stood completely still. For two whole minutes. Only when it flew off did she move again."
"Every evening on her tiptoes by the window, waiting for the door to open. Tonight she nearly fell asleep standing there."
April was the month of listening. You said your first 'dada', so softly it was almost a secret, and you kept it to yourself for the rest of the day. At the blackbird in grandma's garden you stood stiller than we had ever seen you, until it flew off and you carried on. And every evening you stood on your tiptoes by the window, waiting, until the waiting sometimes rocked you to sleep. Anyone looking closely could already see it: you take the world in completely first, and only then give something back. That is who you are.
Chapter 4 · Three moments, three voices, one story.
No empty pages, no evenings scrolling through two thousand photos. You write the moments, YearChapter helps them become stories. So that one day there is a book about who she is, in her purest form.
A photobook asks you to choose, write and assemble everything alone. YearChapter does it together, and makes sure dad's words, grandma's words and yours become one chapter, not three versions.
Writing on your own? It works then too. Invite whoever you like, later.
Mum writes on Sunday, dad on Wednesday night, grandma after a visit. A photo, a few lines, done.
At the end of the month, YearChapter lines up all your moments. You turn them into the chapter, in your own words. The app gathers and orders, you write.
Twelve chapters, linen-bound. Nothing to select. No empty pages. Everything that mattered is there.
When someone in your circle adds something, you get a quiet signal. No push spam, just an invitation to write together.

Everyone contributes in their own way. An honest line under an ordinary photo, that's what stays.
Your library fills itself. Every month becomes a chapter. At year-end, everything heads to the printer.
Choose what fits. With Plus and Family the printed yearbook is included, no extra costs later.

The first 500 families start at the founder price. It applies for the first year, then the regular yearly price. Gift packages have their own price.
Not just a memory for you later, but a mirror for them later. Who they become starts with how you see them.
"Others see you take a photo. I see the moment after, when you stop and look at what you just did. At two you were already doing it with books: read a page, pause, then carry on. No one taught you that. It was as if you wanted to give every moment its own time. That in-between moment, that's you."
Reflection isn't a luxury. It's a voice that grows with them, even when yours changes.
For every year of their life you capture, we plant a real tree. Not a digital one, not a symbolic one, a real one, somewhere, with roots.
Their story grows twice: between the pages of the book, and in a forest in Oregon, Madagascar or Kenya.
Here are three small prompts. One is enough. No scrolling feed, no pressure.
No daily push, no feed begging for attention. One email on the 1st of the month with three gentle prompts.
The rest of the month, add when there's something to capture, not before.
You have the people, the phone and the moments. The only thing missing is the place where it all comes together.
