STEP 1 · CAPTURE

You have a lot of idea babies.
They’re crawling everywhere.

One is on a napkin. One is in a voice memo. One is on a sticky note that fell behind the desk. One woke you up at 3 am and you swore you’d remember it.

The rest end up on line 47 of a notes app, next to a grocery list from March. That’s not a home. That’s a graveyard.

So bring them to the daycare. Capture each one the moment it shows up, as fast as jotting a note, and stop losing the good ones.

STEP 2 · RAISE

Different ideas.
Room for all of them.

When an idea earns your attention, give it a Room: a home where it grows through versions, next steps, and focus. Start with a workspace that fits the idea and make it your own as the work takes shape.

Keep up to seven ideas Alive at once. The rest nap safely until you’re ready. Focus is the point.

Aisle 8Every kind of idea

  • Film

    Short films, series, and screenplays.

  • Writing

    Articles, books, newsletters, and speeches.

  • Home Room

    An idea you want to turn into something concrete.

  • Creative

    Art, design, music, photography, and campaigns.

  • Business

    Products, services, organizations, and ventures.

  • Event

    Gatherings, productions, launches, and trips.

  • Research

    Articles, fashion, and client looks: gather finds, share lookbooks.

  • Memories

    Photos, moments, and the stories behind them.

YOUR IDEA. YOUR SPACE.

Make room for
the way you work.

Arrange your sidebar to keep what you need close. For a screenplay, that might mean scenes, a cover, and an introduction video. Then step into focus mode and give the story your full attention.

STEP 3 · BUILD

An idea is a good start.
You don’t have to build it alone.

Everything above works on your own, from day one. When you’re ready, bring an idea out to a small community of people who make things. Building together, not performing for a feed.

01 / A FRESH PERSPECTIVE

“Does this make sense?”

Share when you’re ready. Get a fresh perspective through community ratings and member conversations.

02 / A FIRST TRY

“Who wants to test it?”

Looking for testers? Say so on your public page. Let people know what you’re making and where you need a fresh pair of eyes.

03 / ANOTHER PAIR OF HANDS

“Could we build this together?”

Ask for help on your public page. Members can offer a hand, and you can invite collaborators into your private workspace.

We’re still growing. Come meet the people and ideas already here. A heart, a rating, or a useful perspective is a contribution, too.

A REAL ONE, FROM JASON

I have 200+ ideas.
Here’s how I finally started building one.

From a note on my phone to a Film Room: the scenes, the screenplay, and what comes next.

Start your free trial →
  1. 01 / ONE PLACE

    First, everything in one place.

    For years my ideas lived everywhere: laptop, cloud, backup accounts, old hard drives. Step one was getting all of them into Idea Baby Daycare. Each one got a name and a home.

  2. 02 / ONE ROOM

    Then I picked one.

    A note on my phone became a Film Room. The note became scenes, and the scenes became a screenplay, Whistling Boy in the Graveyard. The script checks itself as I write.

  3. 03 / WHAT COMES NEXT

    It’s nearly finished.

    The other 200 are still waiting, and that’s fine. They’re safe, and I know exactly where they are.

THE TEAM

Five humans.
Three cardboard heads.

A little doubt, a lot of heart. We don’t have it all figured out, but we show up, do the work, and share how it goes. The family underneath is real.

We’re new.
You’re early.

01 / ROUGH EDGES

Some things will break.

We ship changes most days, so now and then something won’t work the way it should. Tell us what broke. It goes straight to the family who builds it.

02 / YOUR SAY

Help decide what comes next.

Tell us what you’re running and what it’s missing. This is the stretch where one member’s idea can become the next Room.

03 / THE BETA PRICE

Today’s price, kept.

US $9.99 a month or US $79.99 a year, locked in for as long as you stay. When beta ends on 1 January 2027, new members pay US $19.99 a month or US $199.00 a year.
