The strongest bonds are built in the smallest moments

Spark Rituals builds apps that turn ordinary minutes into real family connection. Grounded in child-development research.

Our Promise

Quality time that counts

Small rituals turn a few ordinary minutes into real time together, even on full days.

Beautiful moments, kept

One simple place to save the funny, tender, true things your child says, before they slip away.

A child who feels loved

Every ritual helps you ask, listen, and respond warmly, so your child feels truly heard.

Our Mission

To bring families closer, one small everyday moment at a time

We turn what the research has long known into simple rituals any family can actually keep, on the good days and the hard ones.

Different apps, same heart

Each Spark Rituals app does one thing well. Together they help you grow closer to your child, and hold on to what you build.

Little Lines app on a phone

Little Lines

Catch the funny, fierce, and wonderfully strange things your child says, each stamped with their exact age, in a private keepsake that lasts.

Stay Close app on a phone

Stay Close

Tiny weekly exchanges that keep grandparents and their teenage grandkids genuinely close: one question, one reply, one memory kept.

Daily Talk app on a phone

Daily Talk

A small daily ritual that turns ten ordinary minutes into a real moment of connection between you and your child.

The Science

Grounded in research, not guesswork

Decades of research point the same way: warm, everyday moments are where lasting closeness is quietly built. Every Spark Rituals app turns that into something a family can actually do together.

Small moments, lasting bonds

Warm, repeated, everyday interactions shape a child more than grand gestures.

Built on how children open up

Our rituals draw on what helps children share and feel understood: gentle attunement, predictable routine, and real back-and-forth.

Taught, then made usable

Inez has taught the science of how people grow for years at the Open University of the Netherlands. This is that knowledge, translated into moments any parent can keep.

The Journey

From our family to yours

We’re Jeroen and Inez: a product builder and a lifespan psychologist, and parents ourselves.

Like most parents, we wanted to feel close to our kids at the end of a long day, and we couldn’t find anything that made those small moments easy.

So we started building it.
