How Little Binder works
Find help with saving creations and sharing them with family.
Saving and editing creations
How do I listen to a saved voice note?
Hold a creation in the gallery to play its voice note, or open the creation and choose Play. This works in Grid and Large, and for people you share with in Shared with you, New for you, and shared albums. Tap the same gallery tile to stop playback. In the installed phone app, a notice appears above the gallery or creation when media volume is very low during playback. Use the phone's volume buttons to turn it up. The website and Expo Go cannot show this device-volume notice.
What does Little Binder keep?
A family can keep a child's creation together with a short voice note, editable title, date, creator attribution, album, and family space. When a title is left blank, Little Binder can use up to the first 80 characters of the transcript. A family can turn off Show a title to keep a creation untitled. The voice can exist even when there is no written transcript.
Can I fix a creation after saving it?
Open a saved creation and open Edit. Edit the picture with the existing crop and rotation tools, or choose Add parts to add another page or side. Choose from family gallery copies a saved creation or one of its parts while keeping the source. Picture changes ask you to compare Now and After saving before saving. The original picture is kept; a previous edit may no longer be available after it is replaced.
How do memories return on Home?
Memories begin once you have at least seven creations reaching back about three months, including older creations you add. Home brings back dated past creations from all children, with occasional firsts and anniversaries. The selection reshuffles each time you visit or reload Home, then stays steady while you browse. It loads selected preview images as they become ready. A shared creation can show private love and a playable voice reply. Tap a memory to open the full creation. You can pause the rotation or collapse the section. During Offline mode, the memory card keeps its quiet placeholder.
Where are guided activities, templates, and coloring pages?
Ideas for creating appears below More creations by default. Open an activity for guided steps, a printable template or coloring page, or a shortcut to capture. Print this template sits near the title when a template is available. Print activity instructions creates a separate sheet with the steps and any teaching explanation. The instructions also appear below the printable resources. Activities include drawing, postcards, recipes, paper spinners, sound maps and story dice. You can set an idea aside or collapse any Home section. Ideas change as staff add and arrange them. An optional question may help match a page to your family, such as a city coloring page. You can skip it, change your answer, or remove it from Your optional answers. In-app creative ideas can also be turned off in notification settings. In-app resources require a signed-in family session. Selected staff-made activities are also available on our Free activities pages without an account. Family creations, optional answers and personalized resources stay private.
Can a child save a comic, storybook, or other multipart creation?
Yes. Choose everyone who helped, then capture each part. The saved part opens with crop and rotation ready. More edits holds the other edits and Put this part aside. Record a voice note is optional. Choose Next part or Done adding parts, put the parts in order, choose a space, add an optional title and whole-creation recording, then save. Parts stay saved as a draft if you go home before finishing. The first part is the gallery cover. Nothing plays automatically. You can also open Add many at once, pass the grown-up check, select images and choose Save as one multipart creation. This opens the same editor for ordering parts and adding voice notes before saving. In app builds with paper-edge tools, choose Find paper edges, the paper-and-wand button in the normal editor. It runs locally only when tapped and positions four independent corner handles. Move each corner to follow tilted paper; the normal finish action straightens the selection. Adjust them if needed, then use the normal Next step or save action. Reset this edit restores the full image. Detection needs no model download or extra upload, and a missed edge leaves the current crop available. Colors stay unchanged and the original is retained. Older app builds and the browser keep their existing crop tools.
What are custom spaces?
Spaces group creations by theme, like art, recipes, or firsts. A creation can belong to several spaces. Albums group creations from one time, like a birthday or a summer. In Settings, open Spaces and choose Manage Spaces. A child can make a space during capture and use it right away. Open an existing creation in Gallery, then use Title, Spaces, and Albums to add or remove spaces. Removing a space never deletes its creations.
How do I find a creation from years ago?
Use the search box at the top of the gallery. Type, or tap Speak and say it the way you would ask a person: “Maya’s birthday cards from last summer”, “just Noah’s art, not crafts”, or “when Maya was 5”. Search understands children, spaces, dates, the optional birthdays you added in Family, voice notes, and the words in titles and in what was said, in every language the app offers. In your family gallery, choose With a reaction, or type or say “with reactions”, to find creations with love from someone you shared with. Voice replies and album responses are separate. Typing works without AI; speaking needs AI assistance on. Speak stays inside the search box. Speaking again replaces your words. You can also hold Speak while talking and release it to search. The X to its right clears the search. People you share with can search only their shared creations and shared albums, including the saved words of current voice notes and active parts. Matching text loads as needed without downloading recordings. Typing needs no AI; speaking follows the viewer’s own choice. With AI assistance on, grown-up family searches also look for related meanings in saved titles and voice-note transcripts after you pause typing. Existing matches appear first, and additional creations arrive in the background without changing your selections. For example, “soccer” can find a voice note about scoring a first goal. Child mode and offline search keep using on-device matching. A small pulsing indicator and changing activity labels show when related search is still working. Reduced motion keeps this status still. Going back from a creation keeps completed related results. Choose View in gallery on a family creation to browse its place in the full chronological gallery, with nearby creations. Search by each child’s own age with “Maya and Noah when they were 5” or “Maya at 5 and Noah at 6”. A saved birthday gives the exact birthday-to-birthday range; a birth year alone gives an approximate range. If a birthday is missing, search suggests adding it in Family or using a month and year. Shared viewers can use month and year because birthdays are not shared. If a related-search batch is unavailable, other batches continue. Try again checks the unfinished batch while keeping existing matches. Related search on Shared with you and shared albums starts on for new accounts, while older choices are kept. It searches only currently shared creations from families that have allowed AI search. Turn it off or on in Account. Speaking to search remains a separate choice.
How do printing and keepsakes work?
At-home printing is free. Print every active part of a creation on separate sheets, choose a grid count, or arrange all pages on one canvas. Saved backgrounds are optional, and the app helps plan one-sided, double-sided or manual front/back printing. Your printer window controls duplex. Every page is included in the print-ready PDF. Families supply printer paper and ink. Optional professionally made keepsakes are being prepared as separate purchases, with parent approval and clear print-partner information before ordering.
Can I print a saved creation for free?
Yes. Home printing is free. From the family gallery, open a creation and choose Print this creation at home. The editable preview includes all active parts, with controls for paper, images, text, creators and frames. People you share with can choose Print this creation on a shared creation, choose 4 × 6, 5 × 7, US letter or A4, show or hide creators, titles and captions, and use Crop, turn, or straighten to adjust only their print. Each part starts on its own sheet. Choose How to print whenever you want the guide. Creator portraits can be shown or hidden separately from creator names. If a shared creation has a frame, choose Print with frame to include it in the preview and print. Choose Print, then a printer or Save as PDF in the browser window. Phone and tablet apps also offer Save as PDF. Printing makes a copy of the displayed creation and leaves the saved original unchanged. Your family supplies paper and ink.
Frame your creation
Open a creation in Gallery. Open the three dots beside Share, then choose Add a frame or Change the frame. Search and choose a frame in the live preview.
Choose Fit in next step. Select the creation or frame to move it. Drag to move, pinch or drag a corner to resize, and choose Crop to trim the displayed creation. Canvas shape changes the canvas. Your saved creation stays safe.
Changes save as you go. Back to frames keeps your adjustments. Undo reverses the last fit change. Reset selection resets the selected layer. Restore starting frame returns to the composition you opened.
Hide frame changes only this preview. Show frame brings it back. Remove frame saves the creation without its frame and keeps the displayed crop.
Auto select background checks matching words first and uses AI when needed, with your permission. It works on one creation at a time and needs a connection. You can change the frame afterward.
Frame your creationHow do I group creations in the Gallery?
Open Filter and sort. Select one or several child avatars to show creations by any of them, including collaborations. Tap a selected avatar to remove that child from the filter, or choose Everyone to clear the selection. The selected children share one section you can open or collapse, with each creation shown once. By type groups creations into sections such as Art and Crafts. Tap By type again to return to the usual gallery. You can combine the child filter with type grouping. Select one or several spaces to show creations in any of them. Tap a selected space to remove it from the filter, or choose All spaces to clear the selection. No creations are moved or removed.
How do I use the Home screen?
Capture a creation is centered below the Little Binder logo. Open the three dots beside the bell to show or hide captions and dates on Home. This choice stays on this device. Section buttons below Capture jump to the content available to your family and stay visible as you scroll. Sections start open. You can collapse a section, and tapping its section button opens it again. Only sections enabled by the Little Binder team appear, and empty Ideas stay hidden.
Sharing, reactions and replies
Why do reactions look different with Reduce Motion?
Little Binder follows your device’s motion preference. With motion allowed, reaction symbols rain from the top of the screen to the bottom. With Reduce Motion on, a few symbols gently fade in place, and movement between creations is reduced. Sending, receiving and replaying work either way. First setup shows a short notice only when Reduce Motion is on. When Reduce Motion is on, family Settings and viewer Account show an explanation and a link to device settings in the installed app. On Android, the link opens Accessibility: look for Remove animations, often under Color and motion. On iPhone or iPad, it opens the app’s Settings page: return to the main Settings screen, then choose Accessibility, Motion, Reduce Motion. Websites cannot open these device settings directly, so browser users get directions. Choose whichever feels comfortable; changing the device setting can affect other apps too.
Can I choose a reaction for a creation?
Yes. Open a shared creation and choose Send reaction. Tap a design to send it. You can change your reaction by choosing another design. Previews and received reactions play across the whole screen. The family can replay each person’s saved design by tapping their circular avatar at the top right of the creation. A symbol from their saved reaction appears over the avatar’s top-right corner. You can also choose Play reaction in Shared activity. Either action returns to the creation image before the animation starts. The avatar row scrolls sideways when more people react. The open creation checks for new reactions while active and refreshes on return to the app. Several reactions play one after another. Designs include Rocket ships, seasonal celebrations and sports such as basketball, soccer, baseball and tennis. With reduced motion, a few symbols gently fade in place. If a design becomes unavailable, choose another one. If no choices are available, Rain of hearts appears. Reactions already sent keep their original design.
Who can see a creation?
Creations stay private. Family members see their family archive. A grown-up can invite a trusted adult and choose creations for their first visit: selected creations, all creations saved so far, or choose later. New creations can also be shared automatically after acceptance. Nothing is exposed before they accept. Creations kept just for family stay private. The viewer sees only what is shared with them and can send private love or a voice reply, and a written note on a shared album. Public creation links are not available. Support can see creation content only with logged, time-limited permission from a family administrator. Paying for a gift never grants access.
Can I change an album's cover and creators?
Yes. An album can credit more than one child. Open Album options (the three dots) to rename it, choose its child creators, or pick a creation as its cover. Album cards show the cover and the children's portraits. Tap a creation in the album to open its details. To take creations out, choose Remove creations from Album options, select them, and confirm. They stay in your gallery. From a creation, open Add to an album and choose Start a new album. The creation and its creators are selected in the new album form. Save to return to the creation, or cancel without making an album.
Will grandparents need to manage the family?
No. The parent or guardian manages the family archive and chooses each creation to send. The Family tab separately explains which families a Little Binder account manages, receives selected creations from, or pays for. Paying never adds access to creations. If two connected families have the same name, numbered labels keep them distinct.
Can I see creations bigger?
Yes. Choose Large to see one creation at a time in its own shape, or Grid to see many at once. The switch sits with the other buttons above the gallery, and above Shared with you, New for you, and shared albums. Each device remembers the choice. Tap a creation to open it, or press and hold it to hear its voice note.
Can our family use a familiar name and portrait?
Yes. In Family, open a person’s page to change their name, family nickname, emoji or private portrait. The default picture follows their relationship: Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Aunt and Uncle have matching portraits. Cousins and other family roles use neutral family artwork; friends use neutral friends artwork. Your chosen photo or emoji stays in place. Use default picture lets you compare before saving. The portrait appears in sharing lists, reactions and voice replies. Location metadata is removed, and replacing or removing a portrait erases the previous full image and thumbnail. Current portraits are included in your family copy.
Can I receive one summary instead of a notification for every creation?
Yes. If a family shares with you, you start with an email summary twice a week, sent only when something new arrived. A family's first share is emailed without waiting for the next summary, and after a little while in Shared with you we ask once how often you would like these emails (closing keeps twice a week). The shared walkthrough starts with language (these emails use it too), text and button size, and notification choices before its demonstrations. Notification setup offers Email me and In-app push, both selected for an unconfirmed choice. You can save push before installing the app; delivery still requires device permission. To change it later, open Settings beside the bell, expand Your choices, and choose Choose how you hear about new creations. Email and In-app push are separate checkboxes. Email alone offers daily, twice-weekly or weekly summaries; both means grouped app alerts with quiet hours and a weekly email summary. Leaving both unchecked turns sharing notifications off. Email uses your verified address.
Can I send one voice reply about several creations?
Yes. In All creations, choose Reply to a child’s creations. Review up to 50 creations from that child in one family, then record, listen, and send. One recording appears with each included creation and once in the family’s activity. If access changes before sending, review the selection again. Permanently erasing an included creation or the target child removes the whole recording.
How do I find reactions and replies from our viewers?
On grown-up Home, the bell shows reactions and replies and highlights new activity. Open a card to revisit its creation or album. It moves to Seen for your account across devices. Opening a reply does not mark it as listened to. In Settings, choose email or phone notifications for responses. Email subjects may name the sender or creation.
Family and accounts
Can I use Little Binder on a computer?
Yes. Go to app.littlebinder.com in any web browser and sign in with your email and password. You see the same family and the same creations as on your phone.
Do I need to download the app?
No. Little Binder works in the browser on any phone or tablet at app.littlebinder.com. The Android app is on Google Play, and the iPhone app awaits store approval. The apps add a camera right inside the app and Offline mode.
Will I see the same creations on every device?
Use the same account on your devices. Saved creations appear on other devices after syncing. In Signed-in devices, see the device name or model when available, app or browser details, sign-in and last-active times, and This session. You can choose your own session name and sign out another session individually. Older device details update when that device next connects with a supported app. Signing out ends online access, keeps your passkeys and family creations, and cannot erase offline downloads remotely. A saved passkey can be used to sign in again. There is no product limit on signed-in devices. Accounts can register up to 10 passkeys; Manage passkeys opens Sign-in security.
Can one account manage a family and view another?
One adult uses one Little Binder sign-in across family roles. They can switch between family homes they manage, open each family's shared creations separately, and review families they pay for. Managing, viewing, and paying stay independent, so one role never grants another. You can start another family on the website once the family you started before has a plan.
I was invited, but I can't find the email. Can I still join?
Yes. On the website or in the app, choose Received an invite? Create a free account. Use the email address the family invited. Little Binder sends a code to check it's yours, and then the invitation is waiting at the top of Shared with you, where you can accept it, decline it, or choose Not now to keep it under the bell for later. Nothing is shared until you accept. If no invitation is waiting, ask the family to invite the address you signed up with.
Can my child have a private portrait?
When adding a child, Choose avatar is optional: keep the illustrated default, pick a pink or blue stick figure or another illustration, choose Choose for me, or use an image from your device or Little Binder gallery when it has images. Skip closes the chooser without changing your choice. A child portrait is optional. A parent or legal guardian opens Family, finds the child, and chooses Add portrait on the child’s card. Once there is a portrait, Change portrait is under the three dots on that card. A grown-up app PIN, device unlock, or account password is required first. The same illustrations and image choices are available in Add portrait and Change portrait. Device pictures use your device’s crop editor (a circle guide on Android, a square on iPhone); web and Little Binder gallery pictures are centered automatically. It saves as soon as you confirm the crop and shows everywhere right away. Your household sees it, and so do the people you approved for sharing whose sharing includes that child: it appears beside that child’s creations in their shared inbox. Ending or pausing someone’s sharing stops their access. We keep a 512-pixel cropped image and 128-pixel thumbnail, strip location and other metadata, and do not run facial recognition or AI. Remove portrait erases both current image copies. Replacement erases the previous copies unless another child in the same household still uses the identical image. Removing the child profile also removes its portrait. Family exports include both current portrait images. Private backups expire within 35 days. Downloaded exports remain under the recipient’s control.
Remove a child or delete their creations
Removing a child profile can be undone. Permanent deletion can't. See how each one works, including how to delete only one child's creations and keep their profile.
Can we choose a default creator?
Yes, and it is optional. Open the three dots at the top right of Who made this creation?, choose Choose the default creator and select a child. If a default is set, the same menu offers Stop using a default creator. Add child to family is there too. On Family, the small button beside Children opens Order of children and default creator, where ticking or unticking Default beside a child does the same. A default opens the camera directly on signed-in family devices. Without one, the picker appears even for a one-child family. Adding a second child clears the default; adding a third keeps it. Removing that child clears the default. When a family has several children, avatars and Switch above the camera button reopen the picker to choose one or several creators for this creation. Switching creators leaves the family default alone.
Can we change the order children are listed in?
Yes. On Family, tap the small button beside Children to open Order of children and default creator. Take turns each day starts the list with a different child each day, so nobody is always first, twins included. New families start with this. ABC order lists children alphabetically, Random order mixes the list each time it opens, and Custom order keeps the order you arrange. To arrange, hold the dots at the end of a row and drag; Take turns each day follows the same arrangement. In a child's own session, that child is always listed first. Changing the order never changes who is credited for a creation.
How do I return to password recovery from an email?
Shared updates, signup and recovery links may open in an email preview. Choose Open Little Binder app to continue in the installed app. For password recovery, choose Return to password recovery in the email, then enter your email address, six-character code and new password. You can also complete recovery in the preview. After saving, Back to Little Binder opens the app; Continue in browser stays on the website. The app may ask you to sign in with your new password.
How do I change my password?
Open Sign-in security in Settings and choose Change password. Enter your current password, your authenticator or recovery code if two-step sign-in is turned on, and a new password with 8 or more characters, then choose Save new password. You stay signed in on this device. Other phones and browsers ask for the new password, and we email you that it changed. If you don't remember your current password, choose Forgot your current password?
Privacy, safety and your data
Does Little Binder keep the location where a creation was photographed?
No. Phones and cameras often save the location where a picture was taken inside the image file. Little Binder removes that location data from every uploaded image before it is stored or shared, including iPhone pictures saved in the HEIC format. The date the picture was taken and the camera model are kept, so your archive stays in order. Little Binder never asks for your device's location.
Does Little Binder measure a child's development?
No. The gallery can help a family notice how a child's drawings and stories change over time, but Little Binder does not assign stages, scores, diagnoses, or comparisons. Every child grows in their own way and on their own timeline.
Are there any ads?
No. There are no ads in Little Binder, and we never sell a family's data to advertisers. The app is supported by our subscribers, so a child's time in Little Binder belongs to the family, not to marketers.
How do I report something?
For a family, open Settings and choose Report something. In Shared with you, open Settings beside the bell, expand Help in Account, and choose Report something. Pick what it is about (a voice reply someone left, a creation shared with you, or something else), choose which one, say what's wrong, and add a note if you like. Support reviews your report and emails a receipt and the outcome to your verified email address. Reply to ask us to review the decision. We keep your identity private unless disclosure is required by law. A family can stop sharing with someone from that person's page in Family. Someone a family shares with can expand Families sharing with you in Account and choose Stop receiving from this family.
How do I get a family copy?
In Settings, open Family data controls and choose Download family data. You can close the app while we prepare the ZIP. We email a private link when it is ready. Within 24 hours of the request, sign in with the requesting account and confirm your password. On Android, choose a folder to save the copy and follow its progress in the app. On iPhone or iPad, use the share sheet to save it. On the web, check your browser’s Downloads list. Your browser can retry or resume an interrupted download for up to one hour after confirmation. Repeated requests reuse the same unexpired copy.
Can I permanently delete a few put-away creations together?
Yes. Open Family, then Put away creations, and choose Choose creations to delete. Check the creations you want to erase and choose Delete selected creations. Complete an enabled grown-up unlock method, review the named creations, and confirm Yes, permanently delete these creations. Anything unchecked stays safe. Anything restored to the gallery before you finish is kept. You can cancel before the final confirmation. Permanent deletion cannot be undone.
How do I request deletion?
You can delete your Little Binder account in Settings under Family data controls. Nothing is removed right away: the account is held for 14 days, and signing in during that time cancels the deletion. That screen separately lists families you manage, view, or pay for. Download a family ZIP first if you manage a family and want a copy. Deleting a viewer account ends its shared access. It does not cancel or transfer a plan, so use plan controls first when the account pays for a family. If you no longer have the app, use the public account deletion page, which confirms the request by emailing you a link.
Put away a creation and bring it back
Keep a creation out of the gallery without erasing it. Put away stops sharing, and a grown-up can bring the creation back later.
Settings and accessibility
How do offline mode and child profiles work?
In Family, choose Set up offline mode, then download None, a number of Newest creations, or All. Cancel keeps the previous prepared gallery. Set a grown-up PIN if needed, then enter it each time you start child mode or offline mode. Children can create without downloading an existing gallery. To switch profiles or leave child mode, use a method enabled in Settings under Unlock methods on this device. Grown-up PIN and supported Device unlock work offline; Account password needs a connection. Keep an offline method enabled before offline handoff. For connected child controls, use Family, then Start child mode. Profiles share the family gallery and do not have separate accounts.
What happens to a new creation made without a connection?
The creation and voice are protected on the device first. After a grown-up ends Offline mode and connectivity is available, Little Binder can synchronize them to the family record.
Will Little Binder email me ideas and new frames?
Only if you ask. Every account sign-up has a separate, unticked box for email updates. If you tick it, we send occasional emails with news, new frames, printable templates, and ideas to make with your children. You can turn them off anytime in Settings, under Notifications, or with the unsubscribe link in any update email. Receipts, security notices, and sharing summaries are separate.
Saving creations
In Settings, open Saving creations and choose Wi-Fi and mobile data or Wi-Fi only. Mobile data is allowed by default. Waiting creations continue when an allowed connection is available and your device gives Little Binder time to run. You can also choose Try sending now while the app is open.
If sending stops, Little Binder keeps the original on this device and resumes from the last piece the server confirmed. Open the app to let waiting creations continue. AI can stay off.
Your device decides when Little Binder can work in the background. Open the app to let waiting creations continue.
We leave a little time between sending attempts. Try sending now lets you retry sooner. If you choose to share, it waits until the creation finishes sending.
Your creations are safe on this device. They can't be sent yet because we couldn't find an active plan for your family. Once the plan is active, they will send the next time Little Binder is open.
AI assistance
AI assistance can suggest titles, help search understand your words, and choose a frame when you ask. Voice-note transcription is a separate family choice. Both start off. AI runs on our own computers. We do not use third-party AI services.
AI assistance is optional and starts off. It can suggest titles, help with search and choose a frame when you ask. Voice-note transcription has a separate family setting. The picture, recording or words needed for these features are processed on Little Binder’s servers. Speech recognition may also run on your device.
Search works on your device without AI. It understands children’s names, dates, spaces, voice notes, reactions, and “only” or “not”, in every app language. With AI assistance on, grown-up family searches also look for related meanings in saved titles and voice-note transcripts after you pause typing. Existing results appear first. Additional matches arrive in the background without changing your selections. For example, “soccer” can find a voice note about scoring a first goal. Little Binder processes the search and relevant saved text on its own servers without keeping the search or a separate search index. Shared-viewer related search starts on for new accounts, uses only currently shared creations from families that have allowed AI search, and can be turned off in Account. Older account choices are kept. Child mode and offline search use on-device matching.
In your family, speaking a search is for grown-ups and needs AI assistance on. Your voice stays on your device when its app or browser supports private, on-device recognition, and words appear as you speak. Otherwise, including Expo Go, the short recording goes to Little Binder's servers with your family's child and space names, so the names come back spelled your way. It is turned into text and deleted right away. Only the text is used, and none of it is kept. After you stop, the button says “Transcribing…” while your words are written out. Tap its X to cancel. Tap Speak to start and Stop to finish, or hold Speak while talking and release it to stop. It also stops after 12 seconds. People you share with can speak a search on Shared with you too. That follows their own choice, not your family's AI setting: they are asked the first time they tap Speak and can turn it on or off in Account. Their recording is handled the same way, with only the child names they can already see.
Voice-note transcription starts off for new families. A grown-up can turn it on in the walkthrough or Settings without enabling title ideas or AI search. AI assistance has its own opt-in and grown-up check. Turning AI assistance off also turns transcription off. We record who changed each choice, when, and where the choice was made.
Our AI follows guidelines for tone and safety, but can still get things wrong. Titles, transcripts, searches, and frame choices can be inaccurate. A title or transcript might feel unkind or offensive. Turning AI on means you accept that possibility. You can ignore a suggestion or search result, change a frame, and change or delete a title or transcript.
Coming soon: AI image tools, such as automatic cropping and straightening, brighter colors, and lifting a creation off the page. They are not available yet. You can still crop, turn, straighten, and mirror a creation yourself.
Turn off all AI for this family to stop new AI requests and queued work, including transcription and related search of this family’s creations by viewers. Other devices refresh this choice when they connect. Work already sent may have begun processing; unfinished results are discarded. Saved creations, recordings, and previously accepted results stay available. Manual editing and ordinary saving still work. A viewer’s separate choice to speak a search is managed in their Account.
We do not send family content to third-party AI services or use it to train AI models. Temporary AI inputs are removed after processing, and what you type or say to search is never kept. Results you save remain with the creation until you remove them or delete the creation.
Title ideas
With AI assistance on, the title step suggests three titles from the picture and, when there is a voice note, from the child's own words. Nothing is used unless you pick it.
Title ideas never hold anything up. They start as soon as a voice note is kept and show up on the title step when they are ready, using the child's words once those are written out. You can always type your own title instead.
Notifications
Notifications are for grown-ups. You choose promotional push, promotional email, and in-app ideas separately, and can turn any of them off at any time. Promotional email includes an unsubscribe link in every message. Account and service messages are classified separately and may still be sent by email or appear by push or in the app, where that channel is supported and permitted, when reasonably needed for billing, security, suspension, deletion, stored content, legal requirements or providing the service. We may choose who receives a message using your account information, such as your platform, app version, language, subscription state, and how far you have set the app up, and we may send a message to a single account when answering a support request or confirming that a message is genuinely from us. Device settings still control push. Child mode shows no banners or permission requests.
A grown-up approves each person by invitation and can choose creations for their first visit. Nothing is shared before acceptance. After acceptance, children and grown-ups can share with those approved people. People a family shares with start with an email summary twice a week, sent only when something new was shared. A family's first share is emailed without waiting for the next summary, and after a little while in Shared with you they are asked once how often they would like these emails (closing keeps twice a week). The shared walkthrough starts with language, text and button size, and notification choices before its demonstrations. Notification setup offers Email me and In-app push, both selected for an unconfirmed choice (emails use the chosen language too). Push can be saved before installing the app; delivery still requires device permission. In Settings they can later choose email, in-app push, both, or neither. Email alone offers daily, twice-weekly or weekly summaries; both means grouped app alerts and a weekly email summary. Grouped alerts respect quiet hours and are limited to one per hour and three per day. Summaries and alerts open a private collection after sign-in and never grant access. When a family shares a whole album, the viewer hears about it once, on their schedule and channel, and that message names the album and who shared it. The family can stop sharing a creation or an album, pause access, or remove a viewer. Sending an existing archive does not notify the viewer. Viewer downloads are not available.
Plans, gifts and launch
Can a grandparent give the family plan as a gift?
Yes. On the plan page, tick “I’m subscribing to Little Binder as a gift for someone.” Annual is selected for your gift. Continue to secure checkout takes you straight to payment. After paying, create your account and confirm the checkout email to receive and manage your gift. You can also sign in with an existing account. Gift delivery begins after payment and account confirmation. Choose to print or forward the gift yourself, or have Little Binder email the recipient with your name and a personal message. A ready-to-send message is included, and you can make it your own. The buyer gets a printable copy and a separate receipt. The recipient opens the gift on our website, signs in or creates an account, and connects it to their family. Paying never grants access to creations. Gifts renew yearly until the buyer cancels. Giving to more than one family? Choose Give another gift after checkout. Each gift is its own yearly gift with its own code.
Use a gift codeI bought a gift and lost the code. What now?
First, search your inbox for the gift email we sent when you bought it. It has the code. If it's gone, open littlebinder.com/gift-recovery and enter the email address you used to buy the gift. We'll send that inbox a private link that works once, for one hour. Open it to get a new code: the old code stops working right away, and we email you a fresh printable gift. A gift that has already been redeemed can't get a new code, so write to support@littlebinder.com if something looks wrong.
Find a lost gift codeHow do I send feedback?
Open Settings, then Help, then Send feedback. If you use Shared with you, open Account, then Help. Describe what was confusing or share an idea. Technical details and permission to reply start checked and can be unchecked. Once you have sent feedback, Your feedback lets you view, download, or delete it. For safety concerns, use Report something instead.
What will it cost?
Every family starts with 10 free creations, all features and two invitations. No card is needed. When the allowance is used, saved creations stay viewable, shareable and downloadable. Deleting creations does not reset the allowance. Choose a Family plan to save more: $71.88 USD billed yearly or $7.49 USD monthly. Paid plans renew until canceled. Taxes and full terms appear before payment.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email support@littlebinder.com within 30 days of your first payment and we will refund everything you paid for the Family plan, once per family. An unredeemed gift can be refunded to its purchaser within 90 days of purchase. A full refund ends the plan. Your family keeps view, download, and deletion access for 90 days; after that period we may remove stored content under our retention rules. See littlebinder.com/refunds.html for details.
Can I download it now?
Yes, on Android. Little Binder is on Google Play in the United States and Canada. The iPhone and iPad app awaits store approval, so use your browser on those devices for now.
Where can I manage an existing plan?
Open plan controls in Settings or Family data controls to review status, who pays, and renewal information. On the website, open littlebinder.com/account to cancel renewal, change the card, or download invoices. A gift is managed by the person who gave it. Contact support@littlebinder.com to arrange a change of payer.
Use the contact form and choose Product support. Contact Little Binder.
Keep your phone locked in this app only
In the iPhone, iPad or Android app, open “Keep your phone locked in this app only” above Grown-up exit when choosing a child. It shows the steps for your device. By default, from the fifth app launch, the same help also appears at the top of Home, Gallery and Create. “Don’t show again” hides it everywhere for your account after syncing.
Can I correct a gift email or send it again?
Sign in at littlebinder.com/account and open Manage gift delivery. For 30 days after purchase, you can send up to five replacement emails, at least five minutes apart, while the gift is unclaimed. Check the recipient address, then confirm the replacement. The earlier code stops working, and you get a new printable copy. Later, use the lost-code page or contact Support. Receipts and renewal controls stay with the buyer.
How do I return to my gift after checking a verification email?
On iPhone or Android, copy the code from your sign-up email, then choose Return to account setup in that same email. It brings back your gift, email address and family name, even in a different browser. Enter the code and confirm to finish. You can also return to the original gift tab, which keeps this step for 30 minutes. If the code has expired, request another from the form. Gmail controls where links open; Little Binder cannot force a separate browser. Opening a link never confirms your account or uses the gift.
Can I use a passkey or an authenticator app?
Yes. Open Sign-in security in Settings or your viewer Account page. Adding a passkey makes it required for new sign-ins, with your device screen-lock check instead of a password. Accounts without passkeys keep password sign-in, with an authenticator code if turned on. If a sign-in method is lost, your current password and an emailed code recover access without a waiting period. Our support team is notified so they can help. The website checkout invitation is optional. Choose Not now to close it. Signed-in devices shows available device names or models, lets you choose your own session names, and lets you sign out individual other sessions. Older device details update when that device next connects with a supported app. This ends online access without removing passkeys or remotely erasing offline downloads.
Can I add another page to a creation I already saved?
Yes. Open the saved creation in Gallery, open Edit and choose Add parts. Capture a new part, choose one from this device, or use Choose from family gallery to copy a saved creation or one of its parts. Review it, then choose Add part. Existing parts, the cover and voice notes are kept. People who already have access to the destination can see the added part after syncing. The source gallery creation stays unchanged.
How do I merge duplicate creations?
In a grown-up session, open the creation to keep, open Creators and choose Merge duplicates. Find the duplicate and review the confirmation before merging. The duplicate is archived; its original media is kept. Adding a new page uses Edit, then Add parts instead.
How can we save children’s artwork or make a holiday gift together?
Keep originals in a portfolio or box and save digital copies with their stories. You can turn copies into cards or framed gifts, or give an annual Little Binder Family subscription. Gift subscriptions renew yearly until the purchaser cancels; paying does not grant access to the family’s creations.
Do I need to give my phone to my child to use Little Binder?
No. A parent can sign in on a spare phone or tablet for children to use. Children do not need separate accounts. You can also capture creations together on your own device. Once creations sync, they are available when you sign in on another device.
