For today’s parents, documenting a child’s milestones has become both easier and more complicated. While smartphones make capturing special moments simple, managing thousands of photos and protecting a child’s privacy online can be a challenge. That’s where Growbook, a new digital baby book app, steps in.
Now available on the App Store and Google Play, Growbook offers a private, secure, and organized way for families to record and revisit their child’s story. Founded by CEO Ryan Chin, the app was designed to help parents move away from public social media and instead create a safe digital space for their child’s memories.
“Parents today are caught in a difficult position,” Chin explains. “They want to share the incredible moments of their child’s life, but they’re increasingly uncomfortable with the privacy risks and performative nature of social media. Growbook is the antithesis of that—it’s about building an authentic, everlasting storybook.”
Growbook’s standout “Chapters” feature lets users organize photos and notes by categories like firsts, favorites, and achievements. With a few taps, parents can search and filter moments to see their child’s growth unfold over time. The app also includes “Time Capsules,” allowing parents to write heartfelt messages for their child to open in the future—a modern twist on the keepsake letter.
Privacy sits at the heart of Growbook’s design. Through its “Inner Circle” sharing option, only trusted family and friends can access a child’s profile. With no public search features or outside visibility, Growbook ensures peace of mind while preserving every precious memory.
Growbook redefines what a baby book can be—a digital legacy built with love, privacy, and intention.
