Dearfold
For iPhone and iPad

A baby book that fills itself in, a moment at a time.

Save a photo and a few words while it's still fresh. Dearfold files it into a chapter and lays it out on a printed page, so the book is already written by the time you want to hold it.

What it is

Save a moment

A photo and a few guided answers. It takes under a minute, which is the only length of time you actually have.

It becomes a page

Dearfold files the moment into a chapter and composes it onto a printed page for you. There is no layout to choose and no wrong answer.

The book stays live

Every chapter shows what's filled and what's still open, so you can see the book taking shape instead of facing a blank album.

Writing help, on device

When the words won't come, Dearfold can suggest them using Apple's on-device models. Nothing you write is uploaded to do it.

A look inside

The add-a-moment sheet, asking what happened and offering to file it
Save a moment Say what happened. Dearfold suggests where it belongs, and nothing on the sheet is required.
Filling in a page, with the printed page previewed above the fields
Fill the page Answer a few short fields and watch the printed page take shape above them.
Reading the finished book, a page showing the birth stats beside a photograph
Read it as a book Read the whole thing at print size, a page at a time — the measurements set beside the photograph, the date underneath, exactly as it will be bound.
Privacy
