Minimoo
Milestones as memories, not a report card.
Parents are handed a lot of charts that quietly turn childhood into a percentage. Minimoo keeps the opposite: a library of moments across movement, communication, thinking, feelings and everyday independence, and a count of what you chose to write down.

Good morning
Look how much Oliver has grown.
8 months
Wide windows, plainly labelled
Where a moment has a familiar age range, we say “often sometime between”. Crawling, first words and first steps vary enormously. Some children skip crawling. The copy says so.
No completion score
The home screen says how many special moments you have recorded. It does not say what percentage of childhood is done, and it does not compare your child with anyone else.
Your own moments count
The library is a set of ideas. You can also record something that is not on the list, backdate it, add a note, and remove it later.
Worth knowing
If you are worried about movement, hearing, vision, speech, social connection, or a skill your child had and has lost, talk to your health visitor, GP or paediatrician. Do not wait for an app to agree with you. In the UK, the NHS and your health visiting team are the right starting point.
Questions
Is this a developmental assessment?
No. It is a private record. It cannot tell you whether your child’s development is typical.
What if we missed the day it happened?
Enter the date you believe it was. Backdated memories are first-class records.
Will I get a notification that we are behind?
No. Reminders, if you turn them on, only ask whether you want to jot something down.
