You put the spoon on your head and said “hat”, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Laterly keeps what matters.

Questions
Good to know.
Can I find something later?
Yes. Search finds any word in titles, letters and the words of voice notes, and you can filter by kind or by who added it. Every month Laterly also gathers that month’s photos into one roundup.
Who can see our journal?
Only the people you invite, like a co-parent or grandparents. Guests who add to a family event only see that event’s page, and what they send waits for your approval.
When does my child open it?
Whenever you decide. You can share the journal with them any time, and sealed letters open on the date you chose.
Do grandparents need the app?
No. They add photos, voice notes and words from a link or a QR code in their phone’s browser. No account needed.
Where are our files kept?
In the EU or in the US, you choose when you set up the journal. Only your family can open them.
What if I stop paying for Plus?
Nothing you kept goes away. You can still open and export everything; you just go back to the free limits for new things.
Does it work with my calendar?
Yes. Add the journal’s dates to Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar with one link. It shows birthdays, days to never miss and when something opens, never what’s inside.
Can I print it?
You can make a journal book with QR codes that play voice notes from the page. Printed copies are coming soon.
Start their journal tonight.
It takes ten seconds to keep something they’ll want to hear for the rest of their life.
