About the app
babysteps is a private, invite-only app that helps parents capture, organize, share and relive the moments that matter most.
Instead of letting memories disappear across camera rolls, messaging apps and social media, babysteps brings stories, photos, videos and milestones together in one chronological timeline.
Parents can invite family members to experience the journey together while remaining fully in control of who can see and contribute. Memories can later be transformed into beautiful printed keepsakes, including photo books, canvasses and calendars.
Built in the Netherlands, babysteps is free to use, contains no ads, requires no subscription and is designed with privacy at its core.

Why we started
Why we started
Why we started
The early years pass faster than you expect.
As parents, we found ourselves capturing hundreds of photos and videos, yet somehow reliving fewer and fewer moments.
Memories became fragmented across phones, WhatsApp chats, cloud storage, and social platforms. Context disappeared. Milestones became harder to revisit. Small moments that once felt important slowly faded into the background.
We realized the problem wasn’t that we were taking too few photos.
It was that modern apps are built for sharing content, not preserving a family story.
We created babysteps to help families preserve not just photos, but the stories behind them.
