Are the ones we can't afford to lose.
Stories captures them — the voices, the details, the versions only one person remembers — and weaves them into a living family archive your grandchildren will treasure.
"I remember the day your grandfather brought home the first television. The whole neighborhood came over — we all sat on the floor and just stared at it like it was a miracle..."
"Mom always tells that story but she forgets — it was a Wednesday and the neighbors actually came the day after..."
What we believe
Getting a story recorded is the #1 priority. Tagging, linking, and polishing can happen after — the moment the storyteller is ready, you shouldn't be fiddling with fields.
When siblings remember the same event differently, both versions are linked and displayed side by side. Conflicting accounts are a feature, not a bug.
If Grandma can't participate — even passively, without ever logging in — we've failed. Proxy capture is a first-class feature, not an afterthought.
One tap to record. Forward an email to capture. Upload a dinner conversation and let the system figure out who said what. The app meets your family where they already are.
Most families realize too late. A funeral, a move, a health scare — and suddenly the person who held those stories is gone, and so are the stories.
Stories was built for the moment you decide you're not going to let that happen.
"The way he told it, the sky turned green right before the wind started..."
Simple by design
Add family members, set relationships, and invite living relatives. Import from GEDCOM files if you already have family history data.
Record audio in-app, type a memory, forward an email, or upload a voice memo. Any format, any device — even for relatives who never use the app.
AI organizes, tags, and links related stories. Different family members' accounts of the same event appear side-by-side — contradictions and all.
Stories links conflicting accounts side-by-side.
"It was the perfect trip. We had that old station wagon packed to the roof. The kids didn't complain once, and we made it to the coast in record time."
"It rained for three days straight. The AC broke in Topeka. Dad kept saying we were 'making great time' while we were all melting in the back seat."
