The most honest minute
of your day.
A minute a day, to your child. They’ll hear it in eighteen years — which is why, every day, you’ll finally say it out loud.
You’d never write this down. You’d never say it out loud to anyone else.
Journals lie — you’re the audience, and you’ll re-read them. Letters perform — the reader is present, and you’ll soften. But a child who’ll listen in eighteen years is the rare audience: there, but not yet. That’s the audience that makes you finally tell the truth — about her, about yourself, about the things you’ve never said out loud.
Not just memory. The practice of saying it out loud — with the rare audience that keeps you honest.
TellSophie is a daily voice diary kept truthful by the audience: your child, who’ll listen in eighteen years. You — and the people raising your child — each record a minute a day. The practice changes who’s speaking. The recording is what your child receives.
Not a journal.
A journal is honest until you re-read it — then you start writing for your future self. She isn't reading. That's what keeps it true.
Not a baby book.
Baby books are written about her, for you to look back at later. This is recorded about you, with her as the witness.
Not a memoir.
Memoir products treat recording as something you do once, near the end. This is a minute, every day, starting now.
Not just you.
When their other parent records too — and the grandparents — you become more legible to each other than you ever are in conversation.
Designed to be the smallest possible interruption to your day.
A prompt a day
Replay anything you've said
Export the whole thing, anytime
A daily habit. Years of you, kept honest.
You record one to five minutes a day in response to a prompt. Replay is available in the app from your first entry — the practice changes you while you wait. Joint access with your child opens at 13, full at 18, and the recording is yours to export at any time on any plan.
- 01
Get a prompt at the time you choose.
Morning coffee, evening wind-down — pick when. Prompts adapt to where your child is in their life.
- 02
Record a minute. Or five.
Audio or video. No editing, no production. The point is the saying, not the saying-it-well.
- 03
Replay anytime. Share at thirteen.
You can hear yourself back from your first entry forward. Joint access with your child opens at 13, full at 18 — never sooner than the dates you choose.
You don’t have to wait eighteen years to feel this work.
- Week 1
Three things, out loud.
You've said things you've never said to anyone present. The minute is short. The relief is not.
- Month 1
You hear yourself.
Your first replay. Your voice from three weeks ago sounds different than you remember being.
- Year 1
365 honest minutes.
It starts leaking. You catch yourself saying things to your partner you used to only say to her.
- Year 13
They join you.
Years of you — and the people raising them — kept honest, waiting. The conversation continues.
Yours every day. Recoverable. Ready when they’re ready.
Daily prompts
One short, age-appropriate prompt a day. Skip without losing your streak.
More than one voice
Their other parent. The grandparents. Each on their own cadence. You become more legible to each other by doing this in parallel.
You set the schedule.
Joint with your child at 13, fully theirs at 18 — or hold longer. You decide when each milestone opens; we never override the dates you set.
One-tap export.
ZIP of standard files anyone can open. Available on every plan, including the trial.
Replay from day one.
Every entry plays back in the app. Hear yourself from last week. The practice has an audible echo from week one.
Continuity reserve.
If we ever shut down, every active customer gets a final export to the storage they choose.
You can’t be honest with an audience you don’t trust.
The practice only works if what you record today is yours, private, and recoverable.
Private by default
Only you and the people you invite can ever listen. We never train AI on your recordings, never share them, never read them. The unlock schedule is enforced on our end — your child can't access anything before the dates you set.
Funded continuity reserve
If we ever shut down, every active customer gets a final export — already paid for.
Open export format
Standard files, no proprietary container. Anyone can open it. Anywhere.
