Stamps is a mobile app that lets users create encrypted updates about major life events and share them with a selected circle via unique follow codes. The platform provides granular permission controls, caregiver write access, private and public reactions, and automatically compiles entries into a downloadable memory book, while keeping user data private and not monetized.

Problem
People undergoing major life events such as illness, pregnancy, loss, fertility treatment, or rehabilitation often need to keep friends and family continuously informed. Repeating the same updates across multiple messages is time‑consuming, can cause emotional fatigue, and raises concerns about privacy and data misuse.
Solution
Stamps offers a private, secure mobile platform that lets users compose a single update and share it with a trusted circle of contacts. Users control access through unique follow codes and can designate who may view or comment on each post. The app supports both private and public responses, emoticon and card reactions, and allows designated family members or caregivers to write on behalf of the primary user. All content is stored encrypted, and the service does not sell user data. Over time, entries can be compiled into a personal memory book, preserving the narrative of the life‑changing period for future reference.
Target Audience
The primary users are individuals navigating significant health, family, or personal milestones—such as patients, expectant parents, caregivers, and those in recovery—and the close friends and family members they wish to keep informed.
