Every family has a story. We make sure it never stops growing.
Living Story is a family story platform where everyone contributes. We believe the best family stories are told by the whole family — not just one person.
Our Mission
Every family has a story. Living Story makes sure it never stops growing.
Why we built this
We noticed something: every family story platform asks one person to do all the work. One storyteller. One year. One book. But families aren't one person. They're grandparents and grandkids, parents and cousins, siblings and in-laws.
The best family stories are the ones everyone tells together.
That is why Living Story is multi-contributor by design. Anyone in the family can add stories, photos, and recordings. AI organizes everything automatically. And the result is a living archive that grows richer with every story shared — from every voice in the family.
What we believe
The principles that guide everything we build.
Privacy First
Your stories are yours. We use industry-standard encryption, never sell your data, never show ads, and give you full control over who sees your content. Every contributor decides what they share and who can see it. You can export everything at any time.
Family-Centered
Everything we build is designed to bring families closer together. From voice recordings that preserve emotion to AI conversations that spark curiosity, Living Story strengthens the bonds between generations. Multiple contributors means the whole family shapes the story — not just one person.
AI as Assistant
AI should make things easier, not replace the human touch. We use AI to transcribe, organize, tag, and connect stories from every contributor — but your voice, your words, and your perspective are always front and center. Zero effort for the family. Full control for the storyteller.
Accessible to Everyone
We design for people of all ages and abilities. Large touch targets, readable text, voice-first input, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support. Whether one person is telling the story or ten family members are contributing, everyone can participate.
What makes us different
Multi-contributor by design
The whole family adds stories, not just one person. Grandparents, parents, cousins, in-laws — everyone contributes.
AI that works for you
Zero-effort organization. Stories are transcribed, tagged, grouped into chapters, and connected across contributors automatically.
Books as output, not product
Your archive grows every day. Print a hardcover book whenever you want — for a birthday, a holiday, or just because.
Events welcome
Not just long-term archives. Capture a wedding, reunion, or memorial with a Living Story.
