Hi Product Hunt! 👋
We built the leaf app (iOS, Android) to help people capture and share life’s most meaningful moments through audio. Today, we’re excited to introduce a new feature called Albums, an easy way to collect heartfelt audio messages from friends and family to celebrate life’s biggest milestones. 🎉
Finding the perfect sentimental gift can be tough. Video compilations take forever, and let’s be honest—no one’s ever camera ready.
That’s why we built Albums—an effortless way to gather thoughtful audio messages from friends and family. No editing, no stress—just a simple, meaningful way to celebrate life’s biggest moments.
Here’s how it works:
1. Create an Album for any occasion—birthday, anniversary, baby shower, or just because.
2. Invite friends and family to record short audio messages and select a prompt to share with them.
3. Surprise your loved one with a gift they’ll cherish forever.
We’d love to hear what you think! What milestone would you create an Album for? Drop your thoughts below, and if you love the idea, we’d be so grateful for your support today. ♥️

A unique audio album. Leaf Albums will be a great choice for those who don’t like taking photos to capture important moments.

@focusaur Thanks! Yes, the goal is to still enable you to deliver a heartfelt gift, but Albums takes out the stress and heavy lift of putting together a video compilation.

@yeminimal Thanks for the feedback and glad you find it to be very useful! We definitely understand downloading an app and onboarding may be challenging for some, so we've designed the app so that anyone can listen to recordings even without having the app. You can simply text a link of a recording to family and friends and they can listen without a leaf account.

Cute idea :)

@busmark_w_nika Thank you! Would love your thoughts after trying it out!
Leaf is continuing to add many new and exciting features to keep your precious memories within reach. Albums expands on this by giving anyone an opportunity to leave a joint heartfelt message! The leaf team continues to deliver, great job!

@ilya_gitlin Thank you! Happy to hear!
I've always loved how simple and intuitive Leaf is to use, and this new Albums feature makes it even more fun. I appreciate that I can gift something unique and meaningful for me and my family without having to do too much work (like editing videos). Thanks leaf!

So glad to hear you are loving the app and like the Albums feature! Thanks for your feedback!
Congratulations for the launch @barrie_farivar .
How is your product different from trueFan?

@koshima_satija Thank you! leaf is all about audio and amongst friends and family (not celebrities like truefan).
leaf is an audio memory app that is used to capture and share audio memories - like first words, precious voicemails, and family stories. Albums is a feature within leaf that enables you to collect audio recordings from friends and family to celebrate occasions such as a milestone birthday, baby shower, or anniversary.
Hope that helps clarify!
Can’t see my cute niece as often as I’d like, but I miss her like crazy! With Leaf, I can hear her little voice anytime and feel like she’s right here with me. It’s such a sweet way to stay connected and keep those special moments close. 💗

@ran_chen5 Love how you are using it! It's a really nice way to stay connected, especially with loved ones that are far away.
In a world full of distractions, finding ways to engage our Kids (as a family!) positively with technology has unbelievable value! We have been using Leaf to record our day to day lives and it has been a great way to develop communication skills for our 4 year old. Congrats Leaf!

@ferdinand_rafols So wonderful to hear! I similarly have a four year old and she loves listening to recordings of herself and of our family. Love that your child is enjoying it too! Thanks for the heartwarming feedback.
Congrats on the launch, Barrie! Leaf is beautifully designed and so meaningful for keeping and sharing family memories!

@hamiltonchan Thank you! We put a lot of thought into the design, making it intuitive and simple, yet elegant. Appreciate the feedback!

This is such a beautiful idea! Finding meaningful gifts can be so hard, and I love how Albums makes it easy to collect heartfelt messages without the pressure of being on camera. How long can each audio message be, and is there an option to mix them into one final track?
leaf
@jonurbonas Thank you! Audio messages can be up to 60 minutes long (though they are typically a few minutes). And yes! All of the audio is automatically compiled into one stream so the recipient can simply "Play All" and listen to the entire collection. They can also choose to play each recording one at a time.
im building something similar 👀. nice one team leaf

@developerfdl Interesting! Look forward to seeing it.
