PufferPages - The visual journal that turns your days into comics

by
PufferPages is a visual journal that draws your days. Speak or type just 1-3 moments and it turns them into a comic page that looks like you, plus your people and pets, in any of 8 hand-tuned styles, from Pop and Anime to Watercolor and Painted 2.5D. Every 7 days binds into a printable issue, and a year of tiny moments becomes a full comic book of your life. 5 languages. First comic free, no card, no subscription.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Bas. My friend Tijs and I built PufferPages. I started it because I wanted to actually remember my year, especially the time with my kids. We take hundreds of photos, but they just pile up scattered across the camera roll and I almost never look back at them. The small moments, the ones I most want to keep, quietly disappear. So we built something different. At the end of the day you jot down two or three little moments ("built a fort with the kids", "first time she rode without training wheels", "burnt the pancakes again"), and PufferPages turns them into a comic page that looks like you. Your kids show up looking like your kids, in the same style, day after day. Then it does the part we love most: every 7 days your pages bind into a printable weekly issue, and a year of those tiny moments becomes a full comic book of your life. Not a folder of 4,000 photos you never open, but something you'd actually pull off the shelf and read together. It also turned out way more creative than we expected. One of the styles is a coloring book, so we print our day as line art and the kids color themselves back into it. A birthday, a holiday, a normal Tuesday at the park, it all becomes something they can make their own. How it works: • Add 1 to 3 moments a day, by voice or text. Snap a selfie so the character looks like you. • Tag the people and pets in your life so they show up too. • Pick from 8 styles, from Pop and Anime to Watercolor and Painted 2.5D. • Every week becomes an issue you can print at A4, 300 dpi. A few honest notes: • Your first comic is free. No card, no subscription, no strings. You only subscribe once you've seen your own page. • iOS for now, with an Android version coming as soon as we can. 5 languages, and the text on the page renders in your language. • We never train third-party models on your stories or photos. Encrypted at rest, EU region. We read every message ourselves, so ask us anything. Try it yourself now, your first comic is free. 🐡

Hey Bas ! Love it, give it a try and it was really good result (show it to my kids and they love it!). Just a question a question : do you plan to increase the number of moments during a day ?

Bas Fijneman

Hi @david_preti ,

Thank you so much and love that your kids love the results!

We are experimenting with more moments, more pages, different structures for sure!
Is this something you would like to have in the app?

(we started with 6 in the beginning)

Really cool app. One thing I would say might be a good feature as an update later on is to give the option for the user to create their comic book and then print it directly from the app. You guys can send the physical comic book directly to a shipping address. This way, the whole family can look through the comic book and have it physically in their hand, and it's more intimate and more fun. Like a photo album, but as a comic

Bas Fijneman

@kjhelpme This would be a super awesome feature. Whenever the app gets a lot of traction and we have a lot of users in the app, we will definitely do something like this for sure.

But for now, I think we just need those users first! Thank you so much for the suggestion.

Whooop!!

I really love this idea! It’s so wonderful how small moments can turn into a printed story over time, making each one feel truly meaningful.

Congrats on the launch! Turning everyday memories into comics feels much more personal than scrolling through thousands of photos you'll never revisit.
