Who it's for
Stories was built for three specific kinds of family member — and designed so none of them has to become someone they're not in order to participate.
You're the one who cares about preserving family history. You build the tree, invite relatives, and drive adoption. You've tried the genealogy tools — they're great for names and dates, terrible for stories. Stories finally gives you a system that works without spending your weekends organizing files.
You hold stories no one else can tell. You don't need to learn any software, and you don't need to. A grandchild can record your phone call, forward your emails, or capture a dinner conversation — and it all ends up on your profile automatically. Soon, an AI interviewer can even call you on a schedule.
You're discovering your family's past. Browse the tree to hear your great-grandmother's voice, read your grandfather's story of immigration, then add your own perspective on the same events your parents remember differently. You're also the one most likely to ask the questions that finally pull a story out of someone.
Proxy capture
The most irreplaceable stories belong to people who have zero interest in signing up for software. Stories treats that as a design constraint, not an excuse.
Build the tree. Record the first story. The rest of the family joins when they see what's there.
