Private by architecture
There is no public mode, no share button, no followers. Your newsletter is sent by email to people you have chosen. Nothing else can see it.
A private newsletter for your family
You write it, you choose who reads it, and it stays yours. No social platform, no algorithm, no data sold. It's a letter, sent by email, to the people you named. They read it in their inbox, like any other email. No account required.
How it works
Ten minutes, not two hours
Write a few sentences. Add a photo if you want one. Send it. Little Chronicle is built around what is realistic for new parents, not what looks impressive on a features list.
A record you own
Every issue is archived in a private reading view for your subscribers. Export everything at any time, in a format you can open without us. When you close your account, your data is deleted.
The privacy model
Your subscribers' email addresses are stored in the UK. We don't share them with anyone.
The content of your newsletters is not processed for advertising, not used to train models, and not visible to third parties.
There is no free tier funded by data. The product is funded by subscriptions. Your family's correspondence is not the product.
You can export everything and delete your account at any time. Deletion is real, not deactivation.
Pricing
The first three issues are free. No card required.
Monthly
£6 / month
Annual
£58 / year
Around £5 a month
Questions
How do subscribers read past issues?
Each subscriber can access a private archive of every issue you have sent. They enter their email address and receive a one-time code. No account, no password, no app download. The code expires after use.
Who controls the subscriber list?
You do. You add subscribers by email. There is no way for someone to add themselves. If you remove a subscriber, they lose access to the archive immediately and receive no further issues.
Can anyone else find or read my newsletter?
No. There is no public URL, no search index, and no share button. The archive is only accessible to people on your subscriber list, using a code sent to their own email address. If someone is not on your list, they cannot read your newsletter.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You can export all your issues at any time before you close your account, in a format you can open without us. When you close your account, your newsletters, your subscriber list, and all associated data are deleted. This is not deactivation. We do not retain archives of closed accounts.
What counts as a free send, and what happens after three?
Your first three issues go out free, with no card required. After that, you choose a plan: £6 per month or £58 per year. If you do not subscribe, you cannot send further issues, but your archive and subscriber list are preserved while your account is open.
Can I have separate newsletters for two children?
Each newsletter is for one child, with its own subscriber list and archive. If you have two children, you would need two newsletters. Each is priced separately. There is no household bundle at the moment, though we may add one.
Do subscribers need to do anything to keep receiving issues?
No. Issues arrive in their inbox like any other email. They do not need an account and do not need to take any action between issues. If an issue lands in spam, they can mark it as not spam and future issues will come through normally.
