How it works
Three simple steps. The smart organizing happens behind the scenes.
Answer questions or tell a story
Gentle, guided prompts make it easy to begin. Speak it aloud or type — whatever feels natural.
Add photos when you have them
Upload pictures at your own pace. Nothing is required up front, and you can always add more later.
Receive a private family archive
Stories are gathered, organized, and turned into a keepsake on a USB drive or a private family webpage.
🔒 Private and secure
Your memories stay private. Photos are stored securely, recordings are turned into text rather than kept, and you review everything before it is saved. The family stays in control from the first question to the finished archive.
