What happens if Living Story shuts down?
You keep everything.
Every entry. Every photo. Every voice recording. Downloaded to your own device, organized in standard file formats you can open on any computer, forever.
We’re not going anywhere — but we believe you should never have to trust us on that. Your archive is yours. Always.
Built to outlast any platform
Other platforms
Lock your stories behind QR codes that expire if they close. Your memories live in their app — and only their app.
When the platform shuts down, your access disappears with it.
