Momatu ensures you never miss a moment even when you’re at work

Being there for your child’s ‘keeper’ moments is important to all of us but for working parents, this isn’t always possible. In fact, 30 percent of parents have said they’ve missed their child’s first day of school and 29 percent have missed their first steps.

Momatu is a new free digital timeline app that allows users to capture and organise their family’s special moments and to create beautiful timelines that can be enjoyed privately and shared with select people by invitation. Momatu timelines can incorporate photos, videos and journal entries, ensuring no precious moments are ever missed.
