A grandmother and her grandson looking through old family photographs

You know that story. It's not recorded.

A voice can't be photographed

Photos show what she looked like. But how she laughed and how she told a story only a recording captures.

There's always a "later"

There's always a reason to wait. And one day it's too late to ask.

Writing doesn't work for everyone

Putting your own memories on paper is an impossible barrier for a lot of people. Talking out loud is natural.

Photos without a story

Albums full of photos with no words beside them. In a few years no one remembers who's in them or why.

A grandmother and her grandson looking through old family photographs

Time well spent with the people closest to you — and the stories that would otherwise go untold.

Whose story will you record?

Grandmas and grandpas

How they met, what their childhood was like, what they lived through. Ask them while you can still listen to the answers.

Moms and dads

You've known them your whole life and still don't know a lot about them. Like what it was like when they were your age.

Your own

Leave your story to your children or grandchildren. The app asks the questions, you just talk.

Anyone close to you

An aunt, a godfather, an old family friend. Anyone whose story is worth keeping.

How it works

You don't need to know what to ask. The app suggests the topics and the questions.

01

Start for free

The app offers topics and specific questions. You ask someone close to you, or tell your own story.

02

AI transcribes

The recording becomes text. AI never adds anything that wasn't said – it only adjusts style and form. The original voice stays saved alongside it.

03

You see a book preview

After the first 15 minutes or so of storytelling, the app shows you the book's contents and the first chapter. And which topics are still waiting to be filled in.

04

Unlock the full book and keep talking

Over as many sessions as you like. With every new recording the book grows, until the story is complete. Up to 10 hours of recordings are included.

What you get

Not a folder of recordings, but a digital book you read in one place and send to whoever you choose.

A book with chapters and photos

The story divided into chapters, with photographs from the family album.

A space that grows with the story

Add more storytelling any time and the book fills out with it.

Text you can edit

Read the chapters, correct them and fine-tune them however you like.

The original voice in every chapter

The original recording stays available beside the text. It's not just the words, but how the storyteller said them.

A book you can share

Send a link to family and they can read it without signing up. You can revoke access any time.

A book you can download

Your own copy of the whole book as a PDF.

This is what the Book of Memories looks like

Try flipping through it. It reads just as well on a phone or a computer.

Illustrative sample. The story and the photographs are made up.

A printed book with QR codes

The book you have in the app will one day make its way onto paper too. Every chapter will have a QR code – scan it with your phone and the original recording plays. It isn't ready yet; in the meantime, keep saving the story in the app.

“Dad said it was almost an hour's walk to school.”
