If your family is anything like mine — with two young kids — then life is pretty chaotic. You are wiping food off someone’s face, trying to manage a spill and a tantrum at the same time, and hardly make it to school before the bell rings. It’s no wonder you don’t have a chance to FaceTime with grandma and grandpa.

This is exactly why we built leaf - to make it easy to stay connected and capture real moments without the stress.  No video (because let’s be real—tired parents aren’t camera-ready), no pressure. Just quick, meaningful audio recordings.

Our family loves using leaf to save everyday memories with our girls. We've started a birthday tradition—recording a short audio every year—which has become such a special way to reflect and relive their growth. Some of our favorite moments come from spontaneous car ride chats, when they suddenly open up about their day or say something hilarious. We also use leaf to record meaningful conversations with our parents and grandparents across the globe. Hearing a loved one’s voice even a few days after a recording is gratifying, but listening to it years down the road and being able to share with future generations is truly special.

We hope leaf brings you that same joy—and helps you hold onto the moments that matter most.
