The first-year album everyone can add to.

A baby’s first year generates more photos than the rest of childhood combined — scattered across two parents’ phones, four grandparents’ WhatsApps, and one auntie’s DSLR. Here is the setup that gets them all in one place without nagging anyone.

The problem is not taking photos

Everyone photographs a new baby. The problem is collection: the grandparents’ photos live in a chat that scrolls away, the hospital photos live on one phone that badly needs backing up, and nobody is “the album person” because everyone is exhausted.

One link, pinned everywhere

Claim the birth date as a coordinate, then post the link and the PIN in the family chat and put the QR card on the fridge. Anyone you give them to uploads from their own phone in seconds — no account, so even the least technical great-grandparent contributes. Photos arrive labelled with who took them.

Let the year structure itself

A gallery collected at one address becomes its own timeline: first bath, first tooth, first birthday cake in the face. Legacy keeps uploads open for a year and includes the full download, so at twelve months you export the zip for the baby book — and the tile keeps going: add an occasion for the next milestone.
