Why the second child needs their own journal
Shared family albums are where second children disappear. Every photo has both kids in it, chapters are based on nobody’s birthday, and the book at the end is “our family 2027” rather than “your first year”. A baby book app for multiple kids must keep a separate timeline per child, calculate that child’s age, and export a book for each.
For twins, the same applies with extra force: two people, two stories, two books, even when the photos overlap.
How Everkeep handles multiple children
- A profile per child. Each has a name, birthday and theme colour, its own chapters and its own Favorites.
- Switch in one tap. The profile switcher on the home screen changes the active child; capture goes into whoever is active.
- Ages are per child. The same family photo can be “2 years” in one journal and “0 months” in the other, because you add it to each with the right context.
- A book each. The PDF memory book and memory movie export are built from the active child’s memories, so each child gets their own volume.
- One purchase. Everkeep Pro unlocks unlimited profiles for $9.99 once, and Family Sharing covers your household.
Already have a journal for your first child? Adding a second profile does not change anything about the first. Existing memories stay exactly where they are.

Multiple children FAQ
How many children can I add?
Unlimited with Everkeep Pro. The free version includes one active profile.
Is Pro per child?
No. Everkeep Pro is a single one-time purchase for the app, covering every profile you create, and it is shareable with your family group.
Can the same photo be in two children's journals?
Yes. Add it to each profile separately, ideally with a caption written for that child. Each copy is stored with that child’s age and appears in their own book.
