§ 01How it works

Understand it in a minute. Set it up in five.

01

Tell Our Fable about your children.

Five minutes per child. Each one gets their own archive, circle, and story in one parent dashboard.

02

Add the people who love them.

Each person gets a unique link. No accounts, no apps. The same circle can contribute across every child.

03

We send questions to your circle automatically.

Monthly questions go out based on each relationship. Replies arrive as text, photo, voice, or video.

04

Send Dispatches as private family updates.

Share one note, photo, voice memo or video privately with the people who matter — without another family group thread.

§ 02What's inside

Everything your child will want someday.

Included in every plan: the archive automatically captures the world the day your child arrived — weather, headlines, the #1 song.

The Archive

A private memory archive for one or many children. Letters, voice notes, photos and videos — sealed until your child is ready to open them.

Thoughtful Questions

Our Fable sends personalized questions to the right people on a natural cadence. A co-parent gets a different question than a grandparent, neighbor, or family friend. They respond with text, a photo, a voice memo, or a video. No app required.

Monthly question · For Co-parentNo app required

"What do you hope they feel every day about the family you're building together?"

The Circle

Grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, co-parents, family friends, neighbors, and the people who truly know your child can all be invited. They each get their own questions and their own way to contribute. The more voices in the circle, the richer the archive.

Dispatches

Private family updates sent to the people who matter most. One photo, one voice memo, one note, shared once with grandparents, co-parents, chosen family, and everyone else who cares.

§ 03The Circle

Everyone who loves them. Each with a different story.

Our Fable sends each person a question tailored to their relationship with the child, the parents, and the family taking shape around them. Every voice is unique. Every story is irreplaceable.

Monthly question preview · For Grandma

What do you want them to know about where this family came from?

A grandmother often carries the family memory: migration, ritual, recipes, and the tone of home.

When Grandma gets the invite, the subject line reads: A question only Grandma can answer

§ 04Dispatches

One update. Everyone who matters.

Your co-parent wants the photo. Your sister wants the video. Your oldest friend just wants to know how the baby's doing. And you're supposed to remember to send all of it, to all of them, while running on three hours of sleep.

Not anymore.

Grandparents. Co-parents. Aunts. Uncles. Chosen family. The college friend who's already obsessed. Everyone gets the update. Nobody gets forgotten.

No group texts. No "sorry I forgot to send you that." No guilt. Just one moment, shared with everyone who cares.

"First two teeth. He spent all morning gnawing on a wooden spoon. Here's the culprit. Here's the face. I love him."

§ 05 · Why we built this

We're Dave and Amanda, the parents behind Our Fable. We built it because the people who loved our son most all had stories about him, about us, about our family. And none of it was being captured.

Not the voice memos. Not the funny moments. Not the things they'd want him to know someday. So we built something to fix that. Our Fable asks the people in your child's life one simple question a month. They answer however they want — a letter, a voice recording, a photo, a video. It all seals in an archive that your child opens when they're ready.

We're not a big company. We're two parents who wanted this for our own kid and decided to build it for yours too.
