This is a reflection and organizational tool intended to make life richer for Dads everywhere. A place to keep memories, thoughts, goals, and dreams.
While it can be used as an information hub for interests and activities - most of all it is a place for thoughts and reflections.
- Make note of their your children's changing interests.
- Insert photographs to document their growth.
- Document any health concerns.
- Multiple journaling spaces for thoughts and reflections.
- Easily save your profile or your childrens' profiles onto your local computer at any time.
- Create separate books for each of your kids.
This is a desktop application for journaling - built for fathers. It is a place to record thoughts and memories. It will be an electronic scrapbook - local to each users computer - cross platform. The user can add images or files - jot down ideas, plans and goals.
This app is for dads who spend a lot of time at their computer and would like to have a place where they can add information about their children as they are growing. It is for people who like to reflect. I am targeting users who wish they could download all their children related entries from Facebook over the years and have it all on their own computer. It is for fathers who place their parenting as the top priority in their life - and use the app as a tool to get better at their job. Also, for those that would like a way to keep "talking" to their kids - even if something happens to them and they can not be there for them.

A major feature will be a section called I WANT YOU TO KNOW within the app where users can share words with their children in the case of their death or absence of any kind, by setting a "code word" for each child.
- That child can then use that password to unlock the messages from the user. There should be a trusted partner - also with a password* - who can unlock the "code words".
