How a memory becomes a memory

Tap, type, polish. Done before your kid finishes their post-game snack.

What playback gives you

The simplest possible loop: tap, write, done. Everything else is optional.

Sub-60-second entry

Date, opponent, score, one highlight. The form is built so you can finish it before your kid finishes untying their cleats.

Voice capture

Talk for fifteen seconds, get a polished memory. Transcribed via OpenAI's API — they don't retain the audio, and we don't store it.

Family-share links

One tap turns a game or a season into a beautiful HTML page grandma can open in any browser. Revoke any time.

Year-end yearbook

Every game, every highlight, scored stats, the story of the year. Export as PDF or order a printed memory book.

Multi-device sync

Sign in once and your journal follows you. Co-parents can be invited to the same kid; both write the story.

Private by default

Local-first storage. Cloud sync only when you sign in. No advertising, no third-party tracking, no profile to make public.

What playback isn't.

Most apps in your kid's orbit are built to harvest. playback is built to remember. Here's what we won't do.

Not a social network.

No public profiles, no followers, no feed, no comments. Nobody discovers your kid here. The only audience is you and whoever you hand the link to.

Not ad-supported.

No ads — in the app or on this site. We don't sell, share, or trade your data. Your kids' faces and names never feed an ad model.

Not training AI on your memories.

Polish and voice transcription pass through OpenAI's API to write things up. OpenAI doesn't retain the content, and we don't store it on our servers either.

Not tracking you across the internet.

No third-party analytics SDKs. No advertising identifiers. No cross-app behavior. The only thing we keep is what you create — in your account, deletable in one tap.

Trace the season

Drop a pin on every game. Watch a year unfold across fields, courts, and rinks — every venue, every memory, every mile.

Years stack into a career

A season is a chapter. Five seasons is a story. Twenty seasons is a memoir — every game, every venue, every milestone, searchable for as long as you need it.

Questions parents ask

The short answers. The longer version of how we handle data lives in the privacy policy.

What is playback?

playback is a private journaling app for parents to capture their kids' sports games — the score, a highlight, photos, and voice memos — in under sixty seconds per game. At season's end it assembles everything into a shareable yearbook.

How much does playback cost?

playback is free to download and use. An optional Pro subscription ($4.99/month or $39.99/year, with a free trial) unlocks AI memory polish, voice capture, family share links, year-end yearbook PDFs, and unlimited cloud sync.

Is playback private? Who can see my kids' photos?

Only you. playback is local-first: your entries live on your device, cloud sync is opt-in, and there is no social feed or public profile. There is no third-party advertising and no cross-app tracking, and your data is never sold. Family share links are revocable at any time.

Which sports does playback support?

Any youth sport — soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, hockey, football, and more. You record the opponent, score, and highlights, so it works for any game your kid plays.

Do kids need an account to use playback?

No. playback is a journal for parents about their kids — children never log in and there is no kids-facing interface. You can use the whole app without any account; signing in only adds optional multi-device sync.

Can grandparents see the games without installing the app?

Yes. A family share link turns a game or a whole season into a web page that opens in any browser — no app or account required. You can revoke the link at any time.
