LittleArc vs WhatsApp and notes apps
WhatsApp and notes apps are convenient but scatter records across chats with no structure; LittleArc keeps your child's records filed by type and date, private and easy to retrieve.
Forwarding a report to yourself works until you need to find it months later. LittleArc gives records a permanent, organised, private home.

Frequently asked questions
- Why not just message records to myself?
- It works for a day, but records get buried and are hard to find when a clinic or school asks. A structured vault keeps them retrievable.
