Birth Story card showing date, weight, height, hospital, hair color and eye color

The day they arrived

Every detail of the day that changed everything.

Birth Story isn't a single field — it's a beautifully laid out card that captures the time, the weight, the height, the hospital, the timing (early / late / right on time), the eye color, the hair color, and the family traits inherited from each side. Years from now you'll open this card and the whole day will come back at once.

Built like a conversation

Tap to fill, no blank pages.

Most memory apps drop you on a blank text field and expect you to write a paragraph. Zeitarc walks you through, one question at a time. Every step has tap-to-select chips for the common answers, plus a free-text input if you want to add your own. You go from 'I'm too tired to write anything' to 'wait, that was actually fun' in 90 seconds.

9-step guided wizards · skip any step
Step by step
Each template breaks the entry into small focused steps so you never face a wall of fields.
Tap to choose
Inherited eyes? Tap. Reaction to first food? Tap. Most answers are a single tap.
Custom always allowed
Don't see what you want? Add a custom trait, a custom phrase, a custom anything.
Auto-save drafts
Get interrupted by the baby? Your progress is saved automatically. Come back later — it's all there.
Skip what doesn't apply
Optional steps are clearly marked. Skip them. Your card still looks beautiful.
Edit anytime
Remember a detail two days later? Open the card, tap, add. The wizard re-opens where you left off.
Reading Book card with The Very Hungry Caterpillar marked as completed and engaged

Their first library

Every book. Every reaction.

Reading Book turns each story-time into a small entry: which book, who wrote it, how they listened, what they did during the story. Mark whether they were engaged, bored, asked questions, pointed at pictures, talked about it later. Years from now this becomes the unofficial childhood library — with their reaction written next to each cover.

Steady pace · Engaged · 1 yr 1 mo
Book & author
Title, author, illustrator. The basic record of what you read together.
Reading pace
Did you read it once and move on? Did you re-read it for two weeks? The pace tells a story.
Engagement
Engaged, restless, asleep by page two — a single tap captures how the read actually went.
Reaction tags
Asked questions, pointed at pictures, talked about it after — the tiny details that make it alive.
Photo & note
Add a photo of them with the book and a one-line note about that specific reading.
Their library, growing
Browse the full list across years and see how their tastes evolved one book at a time.
Fashion Record card showing a Halloween costume in size 18-24M from Carter's

The phase you'll forget

Outfits, costumes, the daily ritual.

There's an outfit they wore every single day for two months and you couldn't get them out of it. There's a Halloween costume that almost didn't fit. There's the dress from grandma. Fashion Record captures the size worn, the brand, who styled it, what the occasion was — and the photos that show the personality behind the choice.

Costume · 18-24M · Almost a toddler
Occasion
Costume, everyday, special day, photo session — what the outfit was for.
Size worn
Tracked across time so you can see how fast they outgrew each phase. With age annotations.
From & styled by
Where the clothes came from (Carter's, hand-me-down, grandma) and who put the look together.
Fashion photos
A dedicated gallery for outfits — the costume reveal, the silly mismatched socks, the favorite t-shirt.
Personality phases
The clothes you'd never buy that they insisted on. Captured before they outgrew the phase.
Hand-me-downs
Tag pieces inherited from older siblings or cousins so the family chain shows up over years.
Gallery view with thumbnails of photos, videos and audio from a child's first years

Everything in one view

All their photos, videos, and voices.

Every memory in Zeitarc carries its own media. Gallery rolls them all up into a single beautiful chronological grid: every photo, every video, every audio clip — sorted by date, filterable, with the count visible at the top. It's the family album that's also a media library, and it's never out of date.

61 photos · 12 videos · 8 audio
Chronological grid
Most recent at the top, the past laid out below. Scroll all the way down to see them as a baby.
Date stamps
Every thumbnail shows the date so you don't have to tap in to know when.
Photos, video, audio
All three media types in one place. Tap to play, swipe to scroll, double-tap to favorite.
Filter by template
Just first words. Just outings. Just doctor visits. Drill into one type without losing context.
Quick add
Add Memory button always visible. Capture something now, write the details later.
Storage at a glance
See the total counts of photos, videos, and audio across the whole timeline at the top.
Settings screen with collaborators showing editor and viewer roles plus a danger zone

Family, included

Share without losing control.

Add grandparents, aunts, uncles, the godmother — anyone who matters. Each person gets a clear role: viewer (can read and react), or editor (can add memories of their own). Engagement settings let you turn off public reactions if you want a quieter timeline. There's even a danger zone for the things you'd never want to do by accident.

Editors · Viewers · Engagement controls
Add by username
Search for someone by their @handle and add them in two taps. No invite-link tax.
Viewer or Editor
Viewers can see and react. Editors can add their own memories. Change roles anytime.
Per-timeline control
Different timelines, different collaborators. Grandparents on the kids, just you on the dog.
Engagement on or off
Want public reactions? Turn them on. Want a quiet, private timeline? Turn them off.
Danger zone
Permanent actions live behind a clearly marked red zone. No accidental deletes.
Remove anytime
People come and go. Removing a collaborator is one tap and never affects their own timelines.
Vertical timeline with cards for first day at daycare and school selection

The whole story

A vertical timeline of everything that mattered.

This is the heart of Zeitarc. Every memory, every milestone, every photo lives on a single vertical timeline you can scroll through by month, by year, by life stage. Each card is colored by template type so 'firsts' look different from 'food' which looks different from 'school'. Your child's life as a thread — beautiful, browsable, never overwhelming.

By date · by template · by life stage
One scroll, every memory
Newest at the top, birth at the bottom. Scroll up over time as life moves on.
Color-coded cards
Every template has its own palette. You can tell at a glance what kind of memory it is.
Stacked by date
Multiple memories from the same day stack together. Open the day, see them all.
Quick filters
Filter to just words, just photos, just school, just outings. The full archive is one tap away.
Add Memory anywhere
The Add Memory button is always within reach so capture happens at the moment, not later.
Beautiful empty days
Quiet weeks aren't silent. The timeline stays elegant even when life slows down.
