JoJo Days

JoJo Days is a private and playful baby journal designed to be a digital memory book for parents. It allows users to capture and store every note, photo, and video, starting from pregnancy with a due-date countdown and continuing through the child's grown-up years. The product addresses the common challenge parents face in trying to keep track of their child's milestones and everyday moments. Many existing baby apps are perceived as subscription-based, intrusive with ads, or overly complex, leading to abandonment. JoJo Days aims to provide a simple, enjoyable, and private alternative for preserving these precious memories. Key features include a bright, tappable calendar interface where each day is presented as a card. Users can tap on a day to add notes, photos, short videos, or even 60-second voice memos. The journal also allows users to mark and track significant firsts, such as the first smile or first laugh, ensuring these important moments are not forgotten. JoJo Days emphasizes a user-friendly and engaging experience. The playful design is intended to make journaling a pleasant activity rather than a chore. The ability to start during pregnancy and track the countdown to the due date provides an early entry point for capturing anticipation and early development. Privacy and ownership are core tenets of JoJo Days. The product is built with a "pay once, no subscription, ever" model and guarantees no ads on user content. Data is private by default, accessible only to the user and invited individuals, with a commitment to not selling data or training AI on user photos. The product operates on a cloud-based system, with data stored in dedicated buckets for each account on Cloudflare R2. This infrastructure choice, combined with a pay-once model capped by storage, is designed for long-term sustainability without recurring subscriptions or ads. The platform also plans to offer an export feature to user-owned cloud storage and optional printed keepsake books as future revenue streams. JoJo Days offers significant benefits to users by providing a secure, private, and easy-to-use platform for chronicling a child's life. It helps parents overcome the disorganization and abandonment issues associated with traditional or overly complex digital journals, ensuring precious memories are preserved for years to come. Concrete use cases include documenting a baby's first year, from the pregnancy journey and due date countdown to daily observations, first smiles, first words, and developmental milestones. Parents can also use it to capture everyday moments, funny anecdotes, and the evolution of their child's personality as they grow. JoJo Days is available on web, with Android and iOS apps developed and awaiting approval. The product is built using Vercel, Cloudflare, and Prisma. While the core product is free for the first month, it operates on a pay-once model for storage, with plans to offer optional printed books. The target audience includes parents, expecting parents, and anyone looking to create a lasting digital memory book for their children. In summary, JoJo Days provides a private, playful, and permanent way to capture and cherish every moment of a child's life, from pregnancy through adulthood, without the burden of subscriptions or ads.
