Everkeep Pro Lifetime · $9.99 once · no subscriptionA baby journal that feels like a keepsake, not a feed
Everkeep is designed to be calm and quick. Capture in a breath, browse by month, and turn it all into a book you can keep.
From first smile to finished baby book in four steps
No accounts to create and nothing to upload. Everything you capture stays on your phone.
Capture in a breath
Tap Photo, Video, Voice or Note on the home screen. Add a title, a line or two of story, and Everkeep files it by date and your baby’s age. Backdate anything you catch up on later.
Browse a calm timeline
Your archive reads like chapters of a book: month by month, with your baby’s age on every page. Switch to All entries, the Calendar, or Favorites when you want a different view.
Find and share when you choose
Search titles, notes and tags in an instant. Share a single memory through the normal share sheet, with location and camera data stripped by default. Nothing is posted anywhere.
Export your baby book
With Everkeep Pro, tap Create PDF and Everkeep lays out a memory book with a cover and month chapters. Save it to Files, print it, or AirDrop it to grandparents.
Everything a digital baby book should do — and nothing it shouldn’t
Built for parents who want their child’s memories kept privately, organised beautifully, and owned outright.
On your phone, not the cloud
Everkeep has no account, no server and no social feed. Your baby’s photos, videos and voice notes are stored on your device, and only leave it when you tap Share or save a backup.
Photo, video, voice & notes
A baby journal should hold more than pictures. Keep the giggle, the bedtime song, the paper note from daycare and the story behind the first step together in one memory.
PDF baby book, one-time Pro
Turn months of memories into a printable PDF memory book with a cover and chapters. Everkeep Pro is $9.99 once, not $5–$8 every month forever.
Chapters by month & age
Your archive is organised the way a baby book is: “3 months · July”, “1 year · April”. Jump to any month, or open the Calendar to see a specific day.
App lock & private sharing
Protect the whole journal with Face ID, fingerprint or a PIN. When you do share a moment, Everkeep strips camera and location data first.
Search that actually finds it
Search titles, notes and tags. Voice memos can be transcribed on-device so “the one where she said dada” is a two-second search, not a scroll.
Keep their voice
Record babbles, first words and bedtime stories as voice memories. They sit in the timeline next to the photos from the same day, where you will actually find them again.
Backups you hold
Export a standard ZIP of everything and keep it wherever you like. Restore on a new phone in minutes. No company can lock you out of your own baby book.
Works offline, anywhere
Hospital room, aeroplane, grandma’s cottage with no signal: Everkeep captures and browses without an internet connection because nothing needs to sync.
One price. Once. Yours forever.
Most baby book apps charge $50–$80 every year. Everkeep Pro is a single $9.99 purchase, shareable with your family group through Family Sharing.

Read the guide →Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about privacy, pricing, backups and what Everkeep can do.
What is the best baby journal app for parents who want privacy?
Look for an app that stores memories on your device rather than a company server, lets you capture photo, video, voice and notes in a couple of taps, and gives you a real keepsake (like a PDF book) without a subscription. Everkeep is built around exactly those requirements.
How do I make a baby memory book on my phone?
Use a baby memory book app that saves each moment with a date and your baby’s age, then assembles them into chapters. In Everkeep you capture photos, video, voice and notes as they happen, and Everkeep Pro exports the whole journal as a PDF memory book with a cover and month-by-month chapters.
What is the best way to create a digital baby book?
Choose an app that keeps memories on your device, organises them by month and age, lets you back up in a standard format, and exports a real PDF you can print. Everkeep does all four; the PDF book is part of the one-time Pro purchase.
Is there a baby journal app without a subscription?
Yes. Everkeep is free to download and use, with unlimited memories. Everkeep Pro, which adds the PDF baby book, memory movie export, unlimited profiles and Looking Back, is a one-time $9.99 purchase. There is no monthly or yearly plan, and your memories are never locked if you choose not to upgrade.
How do I keep my baby's photos private and off the cloud?
Use a baby journal that stores everything on your device instead of a company server. Everkeep has no account and no cloud sync; memories stay on your phone, the whole app can be locked with Face ID, fingerprint or a PIN, and location and camera data are stripped whenever you share a photo.
Can I use a baby journal app without an internet connection?
With Everkeep, yes, all of it. Because memories are stored on your phone and never synced to a server, you can capture photos, video, voice and notes, browse the timeline, search, and even export the PDF book with no connection at all. Internet is only used to confirm a Pro purchase.
How do I track baby milestones in a journal?
Record each milestone as a memory with the date, a photo or video, and a few sentences about how it happened. In Everkeep, create a memory for each first, tag it “milestone”, and it appears in the right month chapter with your baby’s exact age. Growth records let you log height and weight alongside.
How can I record and save my baby's voice and first words?
Use a journal that treats voice as a first-class memory, not a file in a folder. In Everkeep, tap Voice on the home screen to record, add a title and note, and the recording is saved in the timeline next to that day’s photos. On-device transcription makes spoken words searchable, and everything stays on your phone.
Is there a digital baby scrapbook app that combines photos, notes and video?
Yes. Everkeep lets each memory hold up to ten photos or videos, a voice recording and a written story, so a single entry can be a full scrapbook page. Chapters organise pages by month, and Everkeep Pro exports the whole scrapbook as a PDF.
What is a good baby diary app for daily entries?
Pick one where an entry takes under a minute and can be a photo, a voice note or a sentence, not a blank page. Everkeep’s home screen opens straight into capture, entries are dated and stamped with your baby’s age automatically, and the Calendar view shows your daily streak.
How can I print a baby book from the photos on my phone?
Organise the photos by month with captions, then export a PDF you can print anywhere. In Everkeep you capture or import photos into month chapters, write the captions as you go, and Everkeep Pro exports a PDF memory book with a cover and chapters that you can print at home or send to any print service.
What is a good private alternative to Tinybeans?
Everkeep is a Tinybeans alternative built the opposite way: memories stay on your phone rather than in a shared cloud feed, there is no account, and Pro is a one-time $9.99 purchase instead of a yearly plan. You share individual moments or a PDF book with family when you choose.
Is there a Qeepsake alternative that is a one-time purchase?
Yes. Everkeep is a private baby journal where capturing photos, video, voice and notes is free and unlimited, and the PDF memory book is part of a one-time $9.99 Pro purchase rather than a yearly subscription. There are no text-message prompts; you add memories when they happen.

What should I write in my baby's journal?
Write the story behind moments rather than just dates: where you were, who was there, how it felt. Useful prompts include what makes them laugh, what they are obsessed with this week, a letter to them, and funny mispronunciations. Everkeep lets you save these as notes, voice memos or captions on photos, filed by your baby’s age.
How do I document my baby's first year?
Capture a few moments a week rather than trying to record everything, mix photos with voice and short notes, and let the journal organise itself by month. Everkeep stamps every memory with your baby’s age and groups them into month chapters, so at the first birthday you can export a first-year PDF book with Everkeep Pro.
What is the best way to organise baby photos?
Curate rather than sort: pick the photos that carry a story, write the story, and group them by your baby’s age. Everkeep does this automatically, filing each memory into a month chapter, letting you tag and search, and keeping everything on your phone rather than a cloud service.
Can one app keep a separate baby book for each of my children?
Yes. Everkeep supports a profile per child, each with its own timeline, month chapters based on that child’s birthday, favourites and PDF memory book. The free version includes one active profile; Everkeep Pro ($9.99 once) unlocks unlimited profiles, so twins or siblings each get their own book.
Is Everkeep really free?
Yes. The free version includes unlimited capture of photos, video, voice and notes, the full timeline and archive, search, favorites, sharing, local backup and app lock. Everkeep Pro is an optional one-time $9.99 purchase that unlocks the PDF memory book, memory movie export, unlimited child profiles, Looking Back and more. There is no subscription tier.
What happens to my memories if I switch phones?
Everkeep creates a standard ZIP backup (your data plus every photo, video and voice file) that you save wherever you like: Files, Google Drive, iCloud Drive, a computer. Install Everkeep on the new phone, choose Restore, and pick the file. Because you hold the backup, your memories never depend on our servers.
Does Everkeep collect any data about my baby?
No. There is no account and no server holding your journal. The only network activity is verifying your Pro purchase through the app store. The App Store privacy label lists only “Purchases” as data not linked to you.
Keep every little moment. Privately. Forever.
Download Everkeep free on iPhone or Android and capture your first memory in under a minute. Upgrade to Pro once, whenever you’re ready for the book.
