We're live! Bringing PocketTreasures to families who love collecting adventures

🌿
Written by Niels, co-founder of PocketTreasures

Today is a day we have been building towards for a long time, and we genuinely could not be happier to share it. PocketTreasures is officially live on the App Store.

If you are a parent who takes approximately four hundred photos on every family outing and then watches them slowly disappear into an endless camera roll, this one is for you.

Where this all started

Like most parents, we had the best intentions. Every beach trip, every muddy woodland walk, every first time our kids spotted something that made them gasp with excitement — we photographed all of it. Thousands and thousands of photos, spread across multiple phones and ultimately impossible to find when you wanted to relive a moment.

The photos were there. The memories were real. But the story of what happened that day, why it mattered, what the kids said when they found that crab in a rock pool — that was all just living in our heads, slowly fading.

We wanted a family adventure journal that was actually built for how families live. Not a scrapbooking app that takes twenty minutes per memory. Something you could use in the moment, while the kids are still muddy and full of stories.

What PocketTreasures actually does

At its heart, PocketTreasures is a family adventure journal and photo log. You capture moments — photos, notes, location, tags — and the app organises everything into a beautiful, searchable memory book that lives on your device by default. No hidden uploads, no strangers holding your family's photos on a server somewhere.

A printable family photo book, generated in one tap

One of the features we are most proud of is the printable photo book. With a single tap, PocketTreasures generates a beautiful A4 PDF of your family's adventures — cover page, photos and notes — ready to send off to be printed, or keep as a digital keepsake.

On This Day reminders

Each morning, if there is a memory with an anniversary, you get a quiet little notification. "Two years ago today, you found your first starfish." It is a small thing, but it is the kind of small thing that stops you in your tracks and reminds you how quickly it all goes.

Shareable memory cards

For the moments you want to share, one tap creates a beautifully formatted 1080x1080 memory card — your photo, the date, your family branding. Ready to send to the grandparent WhatsApp group without any fiddling around.

The Grandparent Family Link

You can export a private, self-contained webpage of your family's adventures and simply send it over. No login required. No app to install. It opens in any browser and works completely offline.

Milestone templates

Six pre-built milestone templates — First Steps, First Words, First Day of School and more — so you can log a big moment in seconds rather than having to think about how to frame it.

Why a family adventure journal matters

The problem is not the camera on your phone. Parents have always wanted to document their children growing up. The problem is what happens to those photos once they are taken. They get lost. The stories behind them get forgotten. And the kids grow up without any real record of the adventures they had.

That is what we built PocketTreasures to be. Not just another photo app. A place where adventures get to live properly.

Your family's memories stay private

Every photo, note, and adventure you create remains on your device by default. If you choose to create an account at a later stage, we only store the minimum information needed to provide features like backup of your titles, descriptions and geo locations, syncing, or rewards. We never sell your data or share your memories with third parties.

To every family who downloads it today

Thank you. Genuinely. We built this for families like ours, and knowing it is now in the hands of other parents who care about the same things we do means the world to us.

Go on an adventure. Log it. And keep the story somewhere it will not get lost.

Here's to all the treasures still to come. 🌿
