The first years of a child’s life contain stories they will not remember themselves. A parent can preserve the ordinary details: the song that helped them settle, an unexpected smile, or what learning to care for them felt like.

DearWith can help you organize these memories and leave original voice recordings for the future. You do not need to wait until a major milestone to begin.

Save a story now, choose a recipient later

You can record a Letter without assigning a recipient. It stays pending and is not delivered until a recipient is selected and the delivery conditions are met.

This lets a parent begin with the recording rather than creating an account for a young child. DearWith is for adults aged 18 and over; this scenario is about parents saving material now for a child to use as an adult.

Illustrative recording idea — not a user testimonial.

“You fell asleep holding my finger tonight. You will not remember this evening, but I wanted you to hear how happy I was to be here with you.”

Two ways to share it in the future

At a set time: once your adult child has an eligible account and you have become friends, you can assign them a recording and choose a future date and time for delivery.

Open When: once your adult child has an account and you are friends, select them as the recipient and describe a situation, such as “when you wonder about your early childhood.” The letter goes to their inbox for them to open when appropriate. The voice is your original recording.

Future access and delivery depend on the service and applicable conditions at that time. This is not a promise of permanent storage or delivery decades from now.

What is worth preserving?

  • A small event and what it meant to you.
  • A family story told in your own words.
  • Something you learned while becoming a parent.
  • A message addressed to the adult your child may become, without deciding who they must be.

Keep memories personal without adding unnecessary sensitive information about your child. You can review and edit what you save, and keep recordings without a recipient while you decide how to share them.
