For parents of young kids
Get the good stuff out of the group text and into one private timeline for your child.
Invite up to three people, like your partner or their grandma, to add photos, video and voice notes from their own phones. Their posts wait for your OK.
Free, no card. Nothing to install.
you already have most of it.
Your family is already telling their story. It’s just scattered.
The first-steps video is on your partner’s phone. Grandma’s pictures are three hundred messages up the group text, somewhere between a recipe and “call me.” The voice note of them singing in the car is in a thread nobody will ever scroll back to.
Give it a few years and nobody will be sure what year it was, or who sent it. Was that the first beach trip, or the second?
On FM2Y, every post keeps its date and the name of whoever added it. Grandma’s voice note sits next to your photo from the same afternoon.
How it works
Start their timeline.
Make a free account with your email, Google or Apple. Add your child’s name and birthday.Bring in your people.
Send each one an invite by email. They tap the link and make an account, on a phone or a computer. Joining is free, and they never need a card.Watch it grow.
You and your people add things as they happen, and it fills in week by week. Mark the big moments, like first words or the first day of school, as milestones so they’re easy to find again.
FM2Y stands for From Me to You.
Start with your kid. There’s more down the road.
Each of these is private and invite only. Your first timeline is free, so pick the one that matters most right now. Your first time capsule is free too, and it doesn’t use up your timeline.

four candles. kept. four candles. kept. To my child: A private timeline for your kid
Photos, video, voice notes, milestones and sealed letters from you and up to three people you invite.
us, on the porch, every summer. To us: A shared journal for grown-ups
A private timeline about a grown-up life: yours, your partner’s, your mom’s. Keep it just for you, or invite up to three people to fill it with you.
How a shared journal works
Grown-ups get one too.
The same private timeline works for a life you’re living right now. Keep it just for you, as a journal. Or invite up to three people, like your partner, your sister or your mom, and fill it together: the trips, the house, the dog, the ordinary Tuesdays.
On a grown-up timeline, old photos go on the day they were taken, as far back as 80 years.
Your first timeline is free, for your kid or for a grown-up. Pick the one that matters most right now.
after you sign up, choose To us.
sealed tonight. opens in ten years. To all of us, later: A time capsule you fill together
Pick a day, up to 25 years out. You and up to three people fill it, and nobody sees inside, you included, until it opens. Your first one is free.
How the free time capsule works
“How are you protecting my kid’s data?”
Good. You should ask. Here’s what’s true today, on every timeline, free included.
Private by default
No public profiles, no public feed, no search. Strangers can’t find a timeline, and nobody joins one without an invite.INVITE ONLYOnly the envelope shows
The family sees only the envelope. Only the person who wrote it and the people it’s addressed to can open it, and parents can open the ones the rest of the family writes. FM2Y opens a letter only if the law requires it, or for a safety report our lawyer approves.SEALEDNot for sale
We don’t sell your data, and we don’t use it for advertising. We never share or use your family’s photos to promote FM2Y. That’s why every photo of people on these pages is AI-generated.NOT FOR SALE
You decide who can do what
Permissions are set person by person. Free has room for you and three people. For example:
- Your partner: helps you run it, as a co-admin
- Grandma: posts photos and voice notes, and you OK them first
- A family friend: can look, can’t post
Family posts wait for an OK from you or a co-admin until you turn that off, and you can keep it on for just one person. Change anyone’s switches, or remove them, any time.

They won’t stay little.
The group text keeps scrolling. One day you’ll go looking for the video of the night they learned to whistle, and it’ll be four phones ago. Give your people one place to put it. Start their timeline tonight.
