Why Parents Choose Ownstory
Unlike social media posts that disappear in feeds, your baby's story is private, permanent, and designed to be a treasured keepsake.
Private & Permanent
This isn't social media. No public feeds, no algorithms, no strangers. Your story stays private — only people you invite can see it. And it lasts forever, not just 24 hours.
Not like Instagram stories that vanish, or Facebook posts anyone can see.
Group Gift Built In
Pool money from the group, and let the birthday person pick the gift card they actually want. No more guessing, no more duplicate gifts. Delivered straight to their mobile wallet.
$5, $10, $50 — every bit counts
Amazon, Uber Eats, Apple, Spotify & more
Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — tap to use
Messages + gift card together in one beautiful story. No separate apps needed.
“I created a story when our daughter was born and got 67 messages from family and friends. When I showed it to her on her first birthday, seeing all those voice notes from her grandparents made me cry happy tears. It's like a time capsule of love.”
