The camera roll
The photo is there, buried between screenshots and parking spots. The story behind it isn’t.
A time capsule for your child, kept by email
Every memory,
held until they’re ready.
Your kid gets their own address. Anything you email it drops straight into a locked vault that opens on the day you choose. And every Sunday, it emails you first, so you never stop.

Hi! It’s Sunday. What did I get up to this week?
Reply, and it’s locked in too
Why we built it
Why we built Memhold
“When my son was born, I made an email address for him. Every time he does something, like learning to walk or saying his first words, I write it down. Some days I look back to remember. One day, he’ll get all of it.”
Taylor Graham, founder of Memhold and dad of two
Where memories live today
You’re already saving the
moments. They’re just scattered.
Written for followers and likes, not for one kid reading it at 18. And it was never theirs.
The baby book
Beautiful through month six. Then life happens.
A journaling app
One more app to open, one more login to remember. Memhold works from the email app you already use.
The Gmail you made them
Where Memhold startedThe closest idea, but it’s an account, not a lockbox. Passwords to keep up with, no Sunday check-ins to keep the habit going, and mixed in with a regular inbox instead of a dedicated place built just for their memories.
Posted vs. kept.
A post is written for an audience. A memory in Memhold is written for one person, years from now. That changes what you say.
A post
- Written for followers
- Shaped by likes
- Public, or close to it
- Lives on someone else’s platform
A Memhold memory
- Written for one person
- Honest, messy, real
- Private, encrypted, never sold
- Theirs to keep
How it works
No new app.
Just the inbox you already open.
01
Send it.
Write from the pickup line, a lunch break, or bed. Attach the photo while it’s still on your phone.
02
It lands in their vault.
One private place that belongs to your child, sorted by date. No feed, no likes. It just waits.
03
Their name shows up in your inbox.
Pick a rhythm, like Sundays at 9. Memhold sends a short prompt in your child’s name, and checks in after holidays too. Reply, and your answer is saved.

Built for decades
Not a feed.
A record, measured in years.
From their first steps to the day they leave for college, every email stacks up into one complete story of growing up.
Handover
The day it
becomes theirs.
You choose when: an 18th birthday, a graduation, or whenever it feels right. On that day, download everything and hand it over: every memory in order and every photo.
- You decide when.There’s no deadline. Keep adding until it feels right.
- It’s theirs to keep.Every memory and every photo, downloaded and passed on.
Security
Kept safe
for decades.
Built by engineers who build secure cloud systems for federal agencies. Every memory is encrypted and kept in redundant storage in the US.
