Memory Lane Help
Memory Lane helps you capture and celebrate every precious moment. Whether you're tracking a baby, pregnancy, pet, or personal milestone — this guide will help you get the most from your experience.
Getting Started
Start by creating a profile for your baby, pregnancy, pet, or personal milestone. Don't worry about being perfect — even a single sentence like 'Today was a good day' is a memory worth keeping. The timeline becomes your story, one moment at a time.

Key Features
Voice Entries
Capture moments hands-free by speaking. Press and hold the Write or Sleep buttons to record — perfect for busy parents with their hands full. Voice entries are created automatically, and sleep commands understand natural phrases like "nap" or "fell asleep 10 minutes ago".
Ask AI
Ask questions about your memories in natural language. Find any moment by simply asking - no keywords needed.
Add Past Photos
Upload photos from the past to create timeline entries. Memory Lane picks up dates from your photos automatically.
Memories
Your entries come together as beautiful narratives, creating meaningful keepsakes for each month or trimester.
What Memory Lane Knows
Memory Lane gently learns little details about your family from the moments you capture — favorite people, routines, preferences — so AI features like summaries and Ask feel personal. Parents can see everything it has learned by opening a profile card and tapping "What Memory Lane knows", and remove any detail anytime.
Themed Albums
Create beautiful themed albums - birth announcements, Christmas cards, monthly milestones, and more. You'll see captions tailored to your theme. Share albums with family and friends via time-limited links.
Sleep Tracking
Log naps and nighttime sleep with one tap. See patterns and insights to understand what works for your family. Import data from apps like Huckleberry. Use the Nap Plan selector to guide your baby through nap transitions — predictions will adjust wake windows and bedtime accordingly. It's completely normal for some days to need an extra nap during the transition.
Milestone Tracking
Tag and track developmental milestones. Milestones are detected from your entries automatically. Visit the Milestone Journey to see all achieved moments and what's ahead.
Family Sharing
Invite your loved ones to your household. Share the joy with partners, grandparents, caregivers, and friends - each with the right level of access. Everyone can write in their own language and still follow along, with translations handled for you. With a free plan, you can invite up to 10 family members and 15 friends. Premium opens the door to up to 50 family members and 75 friends — so everyone who matters to your child can be part of the story, and anyone you've already added always stays. You'll also see who invited each person in your household members list.
Family Invite Links
Share a single link to invite family members to your household — no email address needed. When someone taps the link, they request to join and a parent approves or declines. New members see a waiting screen until approved, keeping your memories private until you're ready.
Gift Premium
Any household member can give the whole family a one-time gift of Premium for 3 or 12 months — a single payment with no auto-renewal and nothing to cancel. The family enjoys Premium until the gifted time runs out, then simply returns to free unless someone gifts again or starts a subscription. Find it on the Subscription screen.
Privacy First
Your family's memories belong to you. Everything is securely stored and encrypted, and we will never sell or share your information.
