Little Moments
An iOS app that bridges daily baby tracking with emotional preservation for new parents.
A companion app for the beautiful chaos of early parenthood. Track feeds, sleep, and diapers with real-time family sync. But also write letters to your baby, collect voice messages from grandparents via shareable web links, and face the bittersweet "Reality Check" countdowns showing weekends left until 18.
The Problem
Parents are overwhelmed by daily chaos yet haunted by how fast time passes. Most baby apps are functional but soulless. They help you track ounces and nap times, but miss the bigger picture: these fleeting moments deserve more than a spreadsheet.
The Solution
Little Moments bridges practical tracking with emotional preservation. Log feeds and diapers with 500ms sync so grandma sees updates instantly. Write time-capsule letters. Collect voice messages from relatives who don't even need the app (just a web link). And face the "Reality Check" engine that calculates your remaining bedtime stories, Christmases at home, and weekends until they're grown.
