About Spark Rituals

Spark Rituals builds a family of research-informed, screen-light apps that turn ordinary minutes into real family connection. Each app does one thing well: Little Lines keeps the funny, tender, true things your child says in a private keepsake; Stay Close keeps grandparents and their teenage grandkids genuinely close through tiny weekly exchanges; Daily Talk turns ten ordinary minutes into a real moment of connection between parent and child. The apps are grounded in child-development research and designed privacy-first: family memories stay with the family, not on company servers.
