It’s official - the app is out in the wild. But you’re probably wondering - okay, cool, but what’s it actually for? Fair point. Here’s the full list of features as of today. Think of it as the starting lineup—new stuff will keep joining the team.

Life has always been fast, but once a kid enters the picture, it jumps into lightspeed. Last week? No clue. Fuzzy at best, already slipping away. It all blurs into one endless loop: wake up, wake up the kid, pour cereal, pack a lunch, sprint to school just before the doors shut, walk the dog, grab the first coffee of the day (hold the croissant, champ), work, lunch, work, another dog walk, work, pick up the kid, dinner, play, bath, bed. If the stars align and no meltdowns happen - maybe two hours left just for me. Maybe.

It sounds overwhelming, but here’s the thing - it doesn’t have to mean losing yourself. To stay you, you’ve got to become sharper with your time. For me, that started with routines. Small ones. Whatever they are, they anchor you.

That’s where the app comes in. It gives you quick daily check-ins - how you slept, how you felt, what you planned, and how it all turned out. They’re designed to be fast, something you can do while the dog’s leash is still in your hand and the coffee’s just starting to kick in. Later, you can look back, notice the patterns, and see the bigger picture - monthly, even yearly.

Because fatherhood moves at lightspeed, but that doesn’t mean it all has to blur together.

Funny thing about memory - it’s never as reliable as we hope. You live through a moment that feels unforgettable. You tell yourself, this one will stay with me forever. But give it a week, a month, a year… and it starts to blur. The details slip. The colors fade.

Humans are wired that way. The good, the bad - most of it drifts off eventually. And the few that don’t? Those rare ones are like a bottle of wine hidden in the cellar. They don’t just stick, they grow better with age. The older they get, the more precious they become.

That’s what this app is built for - your personal cellar of memories. A place to store them as they happen, in your own words or with the help of hundreds of prompts covering all kinds of topics and occasions - from holidays to year’s end, from your kid’s first days all the way until they’re not kids anymore. Don’t know where to begin? The app gives you a fresh daily question to kick things off.

Record them. Save them. Care for them. So you can return later with a glass in hand and relive it all. And one day, your kid can too.

Once your kid is born, your lives are tied together forever. When you feel good, your kid feels it too. When you’re stressed or down, they pick up on that as well. They grow to be as resilient - or as restless - as you are.

Your mental health has always mattered, but now it matters twice as much. Taking care of yourself isn’t just for you anymore - it’s for them too. That means learning to understand yourself better, accepting who you are, finding balance, and building some peace in the middle of the chaos.

That’s where The Dad Journal comes in. It’s packed with hundreds of questions - not for an interview with someone else, but an interview with yourself. A way to check in, reflect, and grow.

And here’s the bonus: one day, your kid will get to read those answers too.

Before the kid, you had your own world - hobbies, passions, little rituals, and maybe a guilty pleasure or two. That part of you doesn’t disappear once you become a dad. If anything, it matters even more now. You need to keep your curiosity alive, keep learning, keep exploring. Because the spark you keep in yourself is the same one your kid will carry forward.

The app helps with that too. Every day you open it, you’ll find a new topic and a piece of trivia to chew on - something fresh to feed your mind and maybe even share with your kid.

Dads have been around since the dinosaurs. We’ve made it through the Ice Age, the Roman Empire, and yes - even every Nickelback album. Dads are tough, resilient, and a little wiser with each generation. The challenges may change, but the lessons stay the same. We gather that dad wisdom and share it with you - daily.

Dads love numbers. We love checking the stats, tracking progress, seeing exactly where we stand. We love achievements too - those little milestones that prove we’re moving forward. And let’s be honest, we love turning almost anything into a game.

The app leans right into that - word counts, streaks, and plenty of numbers to geek out on. Achievements are coming soon too, just to keep things interesting. Of course, your biggest achievement isn’t a streak on a screen - it’s the one growing right beside you. But hey, a little extra fun along the way is something you can afford, Pops.

That’s what’s in the app today - but it’s just the beginning. There’s a big roadmap ahead, and plenty of features waiting to be built. I hope you dads stick around for the ride and help make it all happen.
