Why a real book you can hold still matters, long after the apps and devices have moved on.
A printed book is a different thing from a video file, a photo album, or a folder on a hard drive somewhere. Here's the simplest way to see it: of everything you're capturing today, which will your great-grandchild actually be able to easily pick up and read in 2080?
The book isn't something you can order yet - it's something we're building. It'll arrive as an optional add-on in 2026 or early 2027. This page is the thinking behind why we're making it, so that the day it's ready, you'll know exactly what it's for.
Technology changes. Phones get replaced, apps close, and older files can become harder to open. A printed book gives your family a way to enjoy your photos and stories without needing a device or an account.
Your child can take it off the shelf, read it with you and one day share it with their own children. With a little care, a book can stay in the family for generations.
An app is something you log into. A subscription is a promise to come back. Neither is a thing your child can actually hold. The book is. One day they'll take it off a shelf, open it, and read your words about them, in your voice - no account, no login, nothing to plug in. That's what makes it real.
Apps end. Servers move. Companies fold. The book on the shelf is still there in 2070.
Your book will be a square hardback, measuring 216 mm by 216 mm, with up to 300 pages. It will be printed by Lulu in the UK and delivered to your door. Your child's name will appear on the cover, with your photos and stories inside.
We'll use AI to help turn your recordings into written stories, keeping your own words and the way you tell them. Before ordering, you can read everything through, make changes, swap photos or ask for a new draft of any section. You decide when it's ready to print.
Your book will include QR codes that you can scan to watch your videos. When you order a book, we'll save a separate copy of those videos so the codes will still work if you cancel your subscription.
You can create a book for each chapter of your child's life. You can choose which stories to include and order extra copies to share with family.
Each book will be printed when you order it. Books will be available to buy separately, and we'll share prices closer to launch.
