Built for groups, not individuals
Other platforms ask one person to do all the work. Living Story invites everyone to contribute — family, teammates, guests. Each person adds their perspective, their voice, their photos. The result is richer than any one person could create alone.
- Unlimited contributors on every plan
- Each contributor has their own login
- Related stories are connected automatically across contributors
- Regular updates keep everyone engaged

Imagine What Your Family Will Say
“I never thought I'd enjoy recording stories, but it's become my favorite part of the week. My grandkids ask me to tell them another one every time they visit.”
Margaret
Grandmother
“We used to just dump photos in Google Photos and forget about them. Now every photo has a story, and our kids actually go back and read them.”
Sarah
Mom of 3
“I can ask questions about my grandfather's life and hear answers in his own words. It's like having a conversation with him even though he's no longer here.”
James
Grandson
