Keepers of Childhood “Dreams” by The Compendium Company, LLC

Coming soon

A frame for the grandparents who are not on your phone

The photographs your family takes end up somewhere nobody looks. This is a frame you send them to — it sits on a counter in somebody else’s kitchen and quietly fills up with your children, all week, without anybody being asked to learn an app.

An illustration, not a photograph — we have not shot the finished frame yet. The screen is showing our own artwork.

How it is set up

Take it out of the box and scan the code on the back. That is the whole setup. The code opens a page on your phone, you say which frame it is — “Grandma’s kitchen” — and it is yours.

No account on the frame. No password typed with a remote control. Nobody at the other end has to do anything at all.

What you can put on it

You choose, from your phone, and change your mind whenever you like.

Photos we send it

Anything you send from your phone or from a Grow Book page. This is the main one.

Letters they have been sent

The letters you have printed, as pictures. No text you did not write.

Something to color, on the day

The seasonal coloring page, so a grandparent knows what to print this week.

Our seasonal artwork

Quiet paintings that change with the year, so the frame is never blank.

Birthdays and milestones

A card on the morning of a birthday, naming the child and the age.

The parts that matter

It works with the Grow Book

Send any page straight to a frame. Your book stays encrypted on your own device — a page only leaves it when you choose to send that one.

More than one frame

One at your mother’s, one at his mother’s, one in your own kitchen. Each one shows something different if you want it to.

It sleeps at night

Off at nine, on at seven, or whatever suits the room it is in. Nobody wants a glowing rectangle at 3am.

Nothing to subscribe to

You buy the frame. That is the transaction. It keeps working with a free account and it does not stop if you stop paying us anything.

Birthdays turn up on their own

On the morning, it shows the child and the age, so the grandparent who cannot keep track is never caught out.

It cannot be used against you

No microphone. No camera. No app store on it. It asks us for pictures and shows them.

Illustrations of how one sits in a room.

Two sizes

10.1" — The one for a kitchen counter or a bedside table.

15.6" — Big enough to read a letter across the room. The one we use.

We are not taking orders yet, so we are not quoting a price yet either. When we do, shipping inside the US will be included and there will be nothing to subscribe to.

Tell me when it is ready

We will write to you once, when it is actually for sale. Not a newsletter.

A free account is enough. We will not email you about anything else unless you ask.
