I built a tiny kitchen printer for family notes and reminders. Giving away 10 units for testing
My kids and I built a thing called Attagram. It’s a tiny cloud-connected printer that sits on the kitchen counter and prints a little daily “newspaper” for your family each morning.
The idea came from a very normal parenting problem: I wanted my kids to have the useful parts of communication and reminders, without giving them another screen to check. Every morning, Attagram prints things like:
- Today’s reminders
- Weather
- Joke of the day
- Riddle of the day
- Word of the day
There’s also a one-off note feature, so a parent, grandparent, co-parent, or invited adult can send something from their phone anytime:
- “Please feed the dog before screens.”
- “Soccer moved to 4:30.”
- “See you in 6 days! - Grandma”
- “I’m proud of how brave you were today. - Dad”
Basically, I’m trying to solve that weird gap where kids are too young for a phone, but old enough that family logistics still need to reach them somehow. Most parenting tech seems to solve that by adding another app or dashboard. I wanted to see if the adult side could be digital, but the kid side could just be paper.
The hardware and software are done, and we’ve been testing Attagram with a few families at my kids’ school. Now I want more honest feedback from people I don't know before taking it further.
My kids and I built 10 beta units, and I’d like to give them to parents here. No big catch: I’m just looking for families who will actually use it and tell me what works, what’s confusing, what their kids ignore, and what unexpectedly becomes part of the routine.
Drop me a message and we'll get you a unit! It will come with a supply of phenol-free paper rolls, so no concerns about BPAs. Also happy to answer any questions about the build process.
