Once the child grows, parents can give the account to their child.
Nolte Media and artist and baseball coach Nate Fish announced the official launch of Footprint, a mobile application for parents that allows parents to create a digital timeline of their child’s life as they grow. The app was designed to address the concept of “sharenting,” which relates to parents sharing their children’s personal information and images on public social media platforms.
Footprint allows parents to create an account for their child and invite trusted friends and family members to join that account with them. From there, parents and those they invite can share photos, videos, messages and more to create the digital timeline of the child’s life. Unlike traditional social media platforms, Footprint doesn’t allow content to be viewed publicly, and there’s no way to “Like” or “Comment” on posts.
As their child grows, the Footprint app gives parents the ability to give the account to their child so they become the owner of their digital content.
The Footprint app is now available to download for free on iOS and Android devices. Parents can subscribe to a premium monthly or yearly subscription in the Footprint app to receive access to more features, storage, and more.
Parents can learn more about Footprint on the application’s website.
