Flat monthly price. No per-child fees. No sales call. ✏️ pinky promise

the real app!
Daily feed

Running a daycare shouldn't mean juggling five apps.

Right now it's WhatsApp for photos, a paper sheet for sign-ins, and chasing parents for payment by text. Families want to see their kid's day. You want to get paid on time. One simple app does both.

Scattered photos

Buried in group chats, mixed with everything else.

Paper attendance

Sign-in sheets that get lost when you need them.

Awkward reminders

"Hi, just checking on this month's payment…"

Everything the day needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Daily photo feed

Snap a photo, tag the child, done.

Parents see only their own child's moments — private by design. Reactions and comments keep everyone close.

Daily feed

Yes. Childminders can keep daily records, share photos and activity updates with parents, and export a clean history that's useful as supporting documentation for Ofsted inspections.

Is children's data kept private?

Yes. Every photo lives inside a closed circle: staff see the group, and each parent sees only their own child. No ads, no third-party trackers, parents give explicit consent before a child appears anywhere, and medical notes are encrypted. COPPA & GDPR-minded from day one.
