Your life story, told in your own voice. Preserved forever.

Just press record and talk. Your words are transcribed, your memories are organized into life chapters, and a beautiful Living Story grows that your family can explore for generations.

Free forever. No credit card required.

Your grandchildren will never know you had that nickname.

Or why you moved to that town.

Or what your mother's kitchen smelled like.

Unless you tell them.

Living Story makes it effortless.

How It Works

Step 1: Record

Press one button and talk. Tell a story about anything — your childhood, your career, a funny memory. Your words are transcribed perfectly.

Step 2: Organized Automatically

Your stories are sorted into life chapters. Smooth transitions connect them and you'll get suggestions for what to share next.

Step 3: Your Story Grows

Every new story enriches your Living Story — a beautiful, interactive website your family can visit anytime.

Step 4: Family Connects

Your family can explore your stories and ask questions about your life. "What was grandma's first job?" They'll hear the answer in your own words.

You Might Be Thinking...

I'm not tech-savvy

If you can make a phone call, you can use Living Story. Just press record and talk.

I don't have time

Share one 5-minute story a week. We send you a gentle prompt to get you started.

My stories aren't interesting

Your grandchildren disagree. The everyday moments — your first car, your wedding day nerves, your mother's recipes — are exactly what they want to hear.

What Families Are Saying

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 T.

Grandmother, 78

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 K.

Grandson, 34
