Share or keep private — your story, your way

Choose what feels right — keep the memories to yourself, or share them with loved ones or the child you’re writing to.

Why Dear You Exists

We remember the big moments — the first steps, birthdays, the milestones everyone notices. But it’s the small, ordinary things that fade: the sleepy giggles at bedtime, the quiet, almost-grown snuggles, the tiny glances that feel like home.

Time moves quickly. Kids change. Relationships evolve. Details slip away. Dear You exists to keep those little moments safe.

A photo captures a moment. A single line keeps the feeling alive. Together they become a living memory.

A collection you’ll return to, surprised and grateful for what you kept.

  • A simple, no-pressure ritual

    One photo + one sentence a day — effortless, even during chaos.

  • A beautiful timeline of living

    As months pass, you’ll see a year — not just as a blur — but as a memory keepsake.

  • Flexible privacy & sharing

    Keep entries private, share selective memories, or build shared journals with co-parents, grandparents, or friends.

  • Built for busy lives

    Use it in seconds — whether it’s nap time, bedtime, or in the car.

  • Exportable memories

    Want to give your child or loved one something real? Turn entries into a printable keepsake or PDF book.

  • Because the small stuff matters

    Everyday smiles, inside jokes, growth — the little things make a life.
