What makes a scrapbook different from a photo album
An album is pictures in order. A scrapbook is pictures plus context: the caption that explains why the blurry photo matters, the scanned card from the hospital, the note about what they said. The mixing of media is the point, and it is exactly what camera rolls and social feeds are bad at.
A baby scrapbook app should therefore let one entry hold several kinds of thing at once, and organise entries into pages you can flick through.
How Everkeep works as a scrapbook
- Mixed pages. A page can hold photos, videos and a voice recording, with a title and the story in your own words.
- Paper keepsakes. Scan the bracelet, the card, the first drawing, and each becomes a page. Everkeep can read handwriting into text on your phone.
- Pages that look like what they are. A photo is a print with the date on its border. A voice note is a card that shows the shape of the recording. A note is set like the text of a book.
- Chapters. The Book sorts pages into chapters by month of life. Turn through it like a book.
- Print. Everkeep Pro gives you the scrapbook as a clean PDF, and saves month films to your phone.
Everkeep keeps the layout calm and consistent rather than offering stickers and templates. If you want a book that will still look good in twenty years, that is the right trade.
