About this book

Printed copies are paid, for the colleague who is leaving and for the team's shelf.

Page by page
  1. Cover

    Your colleague's name over their best photo from work, with a title you choose from three options, such as Alvida, Kavya! Four Years on the Support Floor. Tap to swap the photo or the title.

  2. What we know them for

    A short opening page built from your one line about what they are known for at work, their role and their team. Nothing is invented. If a detail is missing, the page leaves it out.

  3. Messages from the team

  4. Things we will miss

    A photo collage of the desk, the chai breaks, the team lunches and the late nights before a release, with the best short lines from the messages placed beside them.

  5. Inside jokes

    A small glossary of the nicknames and jokes the whole team gets, built from your answer and the team's. You see every entry in the preview and can remove any of them.

  6. In three words

    Everyone describes your colleague in three words, and the book turns all the answers into one word-cloud page. The words that came up most are the biggest.

  7. Voice notes and clips

  8. Next chapter

    Wishes for what comes next. If your colleague is happy for it to be mentioned, add their next company or city and the last page sends them off there.

The questions we ask
  1. Who is leaving? Their name, and what the team calls them (for example Farhan, or KP)
  2. Their role and team, in one line (for example QA lead, Payments)
  3. When is the last working day? We set the deadline for messages and the reveal time from this
  4. In one line, what is your colleague known for at work?
  5. Optional: one inside joke or nickname the whole team will get
  6. Tone and language: tap heartfelt, fun or formal, and English, Hindi or both
Best for and styles
  • A teammate or peer leaving after a few years, with a notice period of a few weeks
  • Teams split across floors, cities or time zones who cannot all sign one card
  • Organisers who have a day job and no time to chase twenty people for messages
  • A send-off on the last day, even when the resignation was announced late
  • Warm scrapbook: polaroid frames, tape and handwritten-style type
  • Minimal startup: bold sans-serif type, big pull-quotes and colour blocks
  • Classic corporate: clean serif type in navy and cream, for a more formal send-off
  • Office doodle: a hand-drawn caricature-style cover made from a photo you choose

Questions parents ask

Is it really free?

Making the book and saving the PDF is free. Printing is optional and paid, and we confirm the price and delivery date by email before you pay.

What happens to my photos?

Photo books are laid out on your device and the photos never leave it. For illustrated books, up to three photos are used once to draw the character and then deleted. See privacy.

Will the book be ready for the last working day?

The digital book goes live at the reveal time you set, by default 10 am on the last working day. For print, we check your pincode against that date before you pay. If a printed copy cannot arrive in time, the digital book is the reveal on the day and the printed copy goes to your colleague afterwards.

What if someone writes a joke that should not be in print?

You see every message before the reveal and can hide or restore any of them. AI also flags profanity, jokes that could hurt and photos that show screens or ID badges, so you can check them first. A printed book cannot be taken back, so nothing prints until you confirm.

Can we add our company logo?

Not on a book a team makes on its own. Books carry no company logos by default, and the example books use made-up companies and teams. Keep the book about your colleague and the people they worked with.
