Kidera is a private family journaling web app for recording, preserving, and revisiting children’s memories. Photos and text entries are arranged by date in calendar and timeline views, with an On This Day calendar feature. You can ask questions about your journal and receive answers drawn from its entries. The free plan allows unlimited text entries, milestone tracking, 5GB of photo and video storage, and 10 AI questions each month. Pro adds unlimited storage and questions, GPT-4o Vision descriptions that make photos searchable, weekly summaries, priority support, and sharing with one partner. Kidera can be added to an iPhone or Android home screen; native mobile apps are described as forthcoming. AI processing sends relevant photos or journal text through OpenAI APIs, while search snippets may go to Cohere for reranking. Kidera says this data is not used to train models, and it provides export and account-deletion tools.
