Your child’s story, written by the whole family

Simple enough for Grandma
Three steps, and the whole family is writing your child’s story together.
- Step 1
Start a journal
Add your child’s name, and a birth date if you like. It takes a minute and it’s free.
- Step 2
Invite the family
Send each person a private link by text or email. They type a code we send them, and they’re in.
- Step 3
Everyone adds memories
Photos, videos, voice clips or a few words, each credited to whoever added it.
Every kind of memory
From the first photo to the song only the nanny knows. Here’s what Ava’s family added this month.
A photo
DDad · 14 months
First real walk in the park. Every stick was examined.
A voice clip
MMaria · 14 months
The nap-time song she hums back now. The second verse is all hers.
A few words
MMom · 14 months
New word: “ba-na.” It means banana, the dog, and, on Tuesdays, me.
An answer
GGrandma Linda · 14 months
She watered every pot on the porch, including the ones already drowning. Then the cat.
A first
GGrandpa Bill · First steps
Two more steps at my place on Sunday, straight for the cookie jar.
A note
UUncle Mike · on a memory
She’s relentless. The bubble machine never stood a chance.
Kept by age, not by upload date
Date a memory to the day, the month or just the year, and it finds its place in your child’s life. Jump to any age.

Ask for the stories you missed
Grandparents remember things you never saw. Ask one person or the whole family a question, and their answers land in your child’s story with their name on them.
- One gentle email. You can send one reminder yourself, and that’s it.
- Answers come with credit. Every reply is saved as Grandma’s own memory.
- No deadlines, no guilt. Nothing is ever marked overdue or incomplete.
MMom asked Grandma Linda “What was Ava’s first visit to your garden like?”
GGrandma Linda replied She insisted on watering every pot on the porch, including the ones that were already drowning. Then the cat.

Questions families ask
Is Hyrloom a social network?
No. A journal is a private space for one child and the people you invite. There are no followers, no feed of strangers and no ads.
Does Grandma need to be good with technology?
No. She opens your link, enters her email, types the 6-digit code we send, and she’s in. Adding a first memory takes a moment.
Can our nanny add memories?
Yes, as a Caregiver. She sees memories from the day she starts, plus her own.
Who can see our journal?
Only its current members. You choose each person’s role, and you can change it or remove them at any time.
Who pays?
Only the journal’s owner, and only for Plus. Everyone you invite joins for free.
What if we stop paying for Plus?
Nothing disappears. Every memory stays to see, comment on and download; only new uploads past the free storage pause.
Will anyone nag the family to post?
No. A question sends one email, you can send one reminder yourself, and there are no streaks.
Can we take everything with us?
Yes. The owner and parents can download the originals and every memory, milestone and note at any time.
Start the story while it’s still being written
