For parents

The years they will not remember, kept for them.

Their first words, what they said that made you laugh, what you feared and what you learned. A few lines a day become the story of their childhood, in your words, to give them one day.

  • Kept on your device, not in our cloud
  • Free to write, for as long as you like

What to keep.

Not a baby book to fill in: a page a day, about whatever happened.

  • The firsts

    First steps, first words, the first day at school: the dates you think you will never forget, and do.

  • What they said

    The funny, the wise, the words said wrong: the sentences that are gone a week later.

  • How they grew

    Height, teeth, the foods they loved and refused, the friends, the fears: a line is enough.

  • How you felt

    The pride, the worry, the nights without sleep: the part a photo never keeps.

  • What you learned

    From being their parent, and from them: lessons you would like them to read one day.

  • What you want to pass on

    Family stories, what matters to you, where they come from: what you want them to know about you.

When the page stays blank.

Five questions that work on any day, at any age.

  1. What did they say today that you want to remember word for word?
  2. What can they do now that they could not do a month ago?
  3. What made them laugh, and what made them cry?
  4. What do you hope they will understand one day about this time?
  5. What did they teach you this week?

What Dogood does for it.

  • A photo a day

    One a day for free; every photo of the day with Dogood Plus, kept on your device with the words.

  • Chapters

    Name the seasons: the first year, nursery, the year you moved. Each day files itself in the right one.

  • On this day

    Last year’s page comes back on the same date: what they could not yet do, what they said then.

  • Any day, even past ones

    A busy week is normal. Write the days you missed later, and begin the story on any date: their birth, or before.

  • Dictation

    Hands full? With Dogood Plus, say it and Dogood writes it down.

  • A book of their years

    A year, a chapter or chosen days as a book: print it at home, or, with Dogood Plus, at any print shop.

Parents ask.

Before starting a journal for a child.

Yes. Begin today, and write the past when memories come back: any day can be written, past ones too, and the story can begin on any date, their birth included.

Today is worth a line.

In twenty years, it will be the page they read first.
