Which one brought you here?
For a parent or grandparent
I want to capture someone's story before it's too late.
You've been meaning to sit down and ask. The diagnosis, a birthday, a close call: something made it suddenly urgent. Start now, even with just three memories. You can add more later.
Start a story for themFor yourself
I want my grandchildren to know who I really was.
Not the edited version. The real one. The jobs you worked, the people you loved, the choices that shaped everything. Write it in your own words, or just speak it. Either way it lasts.
Start my own storyMy mother passed eight months after I started her story. I didn't get as many entries as I wanted. But I got her voice. My children will hear her tell a joke she told me when I was seven. That's worth everything.

How it works
Start with one memory. Build the rest over time.
There's no right way to start. Write what you remember, record a voice note on your phone, upload an old photo. Add more whenever you want. There's no deadline. The sooner you start, the more you'll have.
Create a story
Give it a name and a birth year. That's all you need to begin. Choose who can see it: just you, family only, or anyone with the link.
Add what you know
Write a memory, record a voice note, upload a photo. The prompts help when you're not sure where to start. Ten minutes is enough for a first session.
Invite family to contribute
Send an invite link to siblings, cousins, or old friends. Each person adds their own memories. You approve everything before it appears.
Make it permanent
Order a QR memorial plaque. Engrave it with the name and a QR code. Anyone who scans it (at a graveside or a family home) goes directly to the story.
Voice recordings
Record directly in the browser. Hear their laugh, their accent, their way of telling a story. There is no substitute for this.
Photos and video
Upload photos from any era. Add short video clips. Everything is stored privately and served through a fast global CDN.
Invite family
Siblings, cousins, old friends: each can add their own memories. You review and approve before anything goes live.
QR memorial plaque
An engraved metal plaque with a QR code. Scan it anywhere in the world and the story opens in under a second.
Private by default
Every story starts private. You decide who sees it. Family only, public, or just you. Change it anytime.
Export everything
Download a ZIP of every memory, photo, and recording at any time. Your family's story belongs to your family.
Don't wait
Whose story are you
afraid of losing?
You don't need the whole story. Start with the one memory that keeps coming back to you.
