Press and media kit

Tiny Treasures keeps a child's voice for their family to replay any time, and keeps the messages that family leaves them sealed until the day the child opens their capsule. Everything below is current, and it is yours to quote as it stands.

Tiny Treasures in one sentence. Tiny Treasures is a private family voice capsule for iPhone and Android, where a child's own voice is kept and the messages their family leaves them stay sealed until the day that child opens them.

If you need a standing description or a boilerplate, this longer version is 55 words and is yours to use as it is:

Tiny Treasures is a private family keepsake app for iPhone and Android. Parents record their child’s voice as it changes, and leave voice messages, short videos, photos and written notes. Those messages are sealed for the child and open on the day the child opens their capsule. Invited family can add theirs from any phone.

No form, no login, and no zip file to request. If you need something that is not on this page, that address reaches us.

What Tiny Treasures is

Tiny Treasures is one private place where a family keeps a child's voice and leaves messages for that child to open later. There are two halves to it, and they matter equally: what the child says now, and what the family wants to say to them.

  • Treasures, the child’s own voice A shared album of the child’s words, laughs and made-up phrases. The family can replay it at any time, at any age.
  • Messages, sealed for the child A parent records a voice message, a short video, a photo or a written note. It is sealed for the child and opens when the child opens their capsule. Nobody picks a date, and nothing counts down.
  • Who hears what The person who records each message in the app chooses whether the family may hear it now, or whether it stays private until the child opens the capsule. The one exception is the family phone line: a caller never chose, so a message left there is also readable by the child’s parent, who can share it with the family or delete it.
  • A family phone number Invited relatives call or text one number from their own phone, and the voicemail, photo or text lands in the child’s capsule. There is no app to install. The number is there from the start for a first and a second child; for a third or later we set one up when asked.
  • Photos on a past day Photos can be attached to a date that has already gone by, so a parent can go back to any day and add the voice behind the picture. On iPhone, photos can be saved straight from the Photos share sheet.
  • Before the baby arrives A capsule can be started during pregnancy, and parents and invited relatives can leave messages through it. An expecting capsule is private to the parent by default and appears to nobody else until that parent invites someone, so it cannot out an unannounced pregnancy.
  • Two parents, one capsule Both parents can be admins of the same capsule.

Why it was made

Tiny Treasures was founded by Anthony Sallemi and built with his wife, Kelsey. They did not want to forget how quickly their daughter's little voice changes. The product began with their own family, not with a category brief or a generic memory app idea.

The product decisions line up with it. Messages are sealed for the child rather than scheduled, nothing counts down, and the child's own voice is kept alongside the messages people leave.

Story and gift guide angles

The gift card is the way someone gives Tiny Treasures. It is not the story by itself. These are the clearest editorial angles, and every one is grounded in a feature that is available now.

Baby showers and new babies

A baby gift that becomes more valuable as the child grows

Instead of another item for the nursery, give the family a place to keep the child's voice and the messages people leave them.

Mother's Day and Father's Day

The parent's own voice is part of the family record

Parents leave the ordinary stories and thoughts they want their child to hear one day, in the voice that said them.

Grandparents Day

Grandparents hear the little voice and leave their own

Invited grandparents join free. Relatives further out can call or text a private family number without installing an app.

Holiday gift guides

A family gift with nothing to ship and nothing to renew

One payment, a printable card, a code that never expires, and a private capsule the recipient opens whenever they are ready.

Gift guide information

This section is written to be copied. The description below is 55 words, it is ours to give away, and it can be lifted whole or cut down. The facts under it are all current as of this page.

Suggested description.

Tiny Treasures keeps a child’s voice, and the messages their family leaves them, in one private place. Parents record voice, short videos, photos and notes. Those messages stay sealed until the day the child opens them. Grandparents call or text a family number from their own phone. A gift is $99 once, and never renews.

$99, one paymentLifetime access for the person you give it to, and for the family they invite. It never renews.
No subscriptionThere is nothing for the recipient to pay afterwards, and no plan for them to cancel.
Codes never expireA gift can be bought months before it is opened. There is no expiry date on a code.
Printable gift cardThe buyer's receipt email carries a link to a card they print at home with the code and the note they wrote. Emailing the recipient is optional.
PlatformsApp Store and Google Play. Invited family can also contribute from a web browser with no app at all.
Where to buyhttps://tinytreasuresapp.com/gift. Paddle is the merchant of record. The $99 is tax inclusive, so $99 is what a buyer is charged.
RefundsUnopened gifts are refundable in full within 30 days of purchase, for any reason and with no explanation needed. Full terms are on the refunds page.

Pricing and where to get it

Tiny Treasures is free to record for one child, and the Family plan is $4.99 a month, $29.99 a year, or $99 once. A gift is a separate one-time $99 purchase made on the web.

Three things are worth knowing before you quote a price. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends who are invited never pay and never see a price. Exporting the recordings as a single audio file, in order, is free, offline, and needs no account. And if a paid plan lapses it is a pause rather than a deletion: recording, playback and backup keep working, and only adding new people stops.

FreeRecord for one child on your own device, offline, with no account. Nothing is uploaded.
Family plan$4.99 a month, $29.99 a year, or $99 once. All three unlock the same thing for the whole account, including every child.

What Tiny Treasures does not do

Every line here is a deliberate decision, it is true of the app shipping today, and you are welcome to hold us to it.

  • No transcription Recordings are never turned into text. There is no speech to text anywhere in Tiny Treasures.
  • No voice analysis Nothing is analyzed, scored or profiled. A message shared with the family plays back the voice that recorded it, and that is all it does.
  • No voiceprints, no biometrics There are no voice biometrics in Tiny Treasures, unconditionally and with no exceptions.
  • No ads, no tracking No advertising and no third-party analytics SDKs in the app.
  • No countdowns, no deadlines Nobody picks an unlock date, and no time to open is shown anywhere. When the child opens their capsule, everything opens at once.
  • No subscription for invited family Grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends who are invited never pay and never see a price.
  • No claim of end-to-end encryption We do not describe Tiny Treasures that way, because it would not be accurate, and we would rather tell you than let it appear in print. Please do not use the phrase in coverage.

Questions writers ask

Is there a Tiny Treasures description I can quote without checking with you first?

Yes. A 55-word boilerplate is published at tinytreasuresapp.com/press and may be used exactly as written, in whole or cut down: “Tiny Treasures is a private family keepsake app for iPhone and Android. Parents record their child’s voice as it changes, and leave voice messages, short videos, photos and written notes. Those messages are sealed for the child and open on the day the child opens their capsule. Invited family can add theirs from any phone.”

What price should a gift guide list for Tiny Treasures?

List $99 for a gift, bought at tinytreasuresapp.com/gift. That is one payment for lifetime access, it never renews, the gift code does not expire, and the family it is given to never pays anything afterwards. Paddle is the merchant of record and the $99 is tax inclusive, so $99 is what a buyer is charged.

Are there press mentions, awards or download numbers for Tiny Treasures?

No. Tiny Treasures has no press coverage, awards, star ratings or published download or user numbers, and none are claimed anywhere on the site. Anything factual about how the app works will be confirmed on request at hello@tinytreasuresapp.com.

May I use the Tiny Treasures app icon and screenshots in an article?

Yes. Everything listed on tinytreasuresapp.com/press may be used in coverage of Tiny Treasures: the app icon, the 1200 by 630 article image, the gift card product shot, the product screenshots, and the 30-second film. They are live files on the site, so they can be linked or downloaded directly with no form to fill in.

What does Tiny Treasures deliberately not do?

Tiny Treasures never transcribes recordings, never analyzes them, and has no voiceprints or voice biometrics of any kind. The app carries no advertising and no third-party analytics SDKs. Nobody picks an unlock date and nothing counts down to when a child opens their capsule. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends who are invited never pay and never see a price; the one exception is the child's other parent, who can be offered the chance to help pay and is never required to. Tiny Treasures is also not described as end-to-end encrypted, because that would not be accurate.

Who do I contact at Tiny Treasures about a story?
