Start your child's year

Six short fields about your child and your preferences, then one $36 payment through Stripe Checkout. The first monthly prompt arrives on the day of the month you pick below, once you have confirmed your details after checkout.

Child's first name

Used in every prompt and in the letter.

Child's birthday

The letter is compiled on your child's first birthday at least six months after you confirm your details. Enter the birthday to see the date.

Your email

We send the monthly prompts here. You reply from your phone.

What your child calls you

Appears in the letter's closing — “From Mama”.

Timezone

Auto-detected from your browser. The prompt goes out at about 08:00 UTC, on your chosen day by the date in this timezone.

Prompt day of the month

Pick a number between 1 and 28. (Capped at 28 so every month has the same day.)

We collect your child's first name and birthday, your email, the closing nickname (“Mama”, “Dad”), your timezone, which day of the month you'd like the prompts, and the replies you send. From those we make and store your letter and its illustrations. Every monthly email carries a link to pause, and a link to erase your archive including your replies — both open without a login. The erase link lists exactly what will be deleted and asks you to confirm; nothing is deleted until you do.
