The BabyDiary app icon: a baby's footprint with a sound wave across the sole, above an open book, in cream on sage green.

Built for iPhone

A voice diary for the moments that matter.

From the day you learn you're expecting until your child is about three, tap a milestone and say what happened. BabyDiary transcribes, summarises and makes it all searchable, right on your iPhone. Your notes stay on your device by default.

A baby book you talk to

A TIMELINE OF MILESTONES

The main screen is a timeline of moments: we found out, the first heartbeat, the birth, the first smile, the first steps. Tap one and record a voice note for it.

ADD YOUR OWN MOMENTS

The list is only a starting point. Add your own moments in between, for the small things that no checklist would think to ask about.

TRANSCRIBED ON YOUR PHONE

Every note becomes text using Apple's on-device speech recognition. The audio never has to leave your iPhone to be understood.

SUMMARISED AND SEARCHABLE

Each note gets a short summary and a suggested title, generated on-device with Apple Intelligence, and search runs over your notes on the phone.

ASK MY DIARY

Ask a question in plain language and get an answer drawn from your own notes, with links back to the recordings it came from.

NOTES THAT STAY YOURS

Notes stay on your iPhone by default, and BabyDiary never deletes one for you. A note goes only when you decide it should.

Made for the moment you want to remember

Pick a moment

Open the timeline and tap the milestone you are living through, or add one of your own. There is nothing to set up first.

Say what happened

Record a voice note, a few seconds or a few minutes. Speak the way you would to a friend, and keep the sound of the day as well as the words.

Let the phone do the reading

When you stop, BabyDiary transcribes the note, drafts a summary and suggests a title, so the moment is easy to find again.

Look back, or ask

Scroll the timeline from the first heartbeat onwards, search it, or ask a question and let the app find the passages that answer it.

Three ways to use it

The free tier is a complete voice diary. The paid tiers add the AI features, and only the top tier ever uses the cloud.

Subscriptions are handled by Apple through the App Store. Prices are shown there when the app launches.

Private by design

BabyDiary has no accounts, collects no name or email, shows no ads, and uses no third-party analytics. Your recordings, transcripts and notes stay on your iPhone unless you turn on cloud features yourself, and even then only the note you act on is sent, and nothing is kept afterwards.

Because the notes are about your pregnancy and your child, the privacy policy spells out exactly how they are handled, and the terms of use cover the rest.

Say it now, and keep it for good.
