Voice-first family memories

How it works
Two taps per memory. That’s the whole thing.
Hand grandma the phone
One giant button. She talks about each photo. Two taps per memory — start, stop, saved.
Get the film
Every voice becomes a film — her words, her name on screen — ready to share with the whole family.
No typing. No menus. Made for hands that didn’t grow up on phones.
The voice stays with the photo
A recording belongs to the picture — everywhere it goes.
Films with their name on screen
Every scene says who’s speaking.
When Grandma Rose narrates a photo, her name and relationship ride along on screen — the same card the finished film burns in. Years from now it’s unmistakably her.
Burned-in captions carry the voice, even on muteGrandma Rose

Ask, and the answer is a story
Ask a question. Get a story back.
Send someone a gentle prompt — “How did you two meet?” — and they answer in their own voice. It comes back as a little narrated card the whole family keeps. The prompts do the remembering, so no one has to think of what to say.
Ready-made prompts make the very first recording easyThe whole family, connected
Everyone finds their place.
People you record and people you tag are one shared roster. Link them into a simple family tree and each person’s relationship is worked out for whoever’s looking.
Relationship labels are computed per viewer — never guessedOne QR at the wedding
Put one code on every table.
Everyone’s photos and voices land in the same album — and the slideshow builds itself on the big screen, live, as the night goes on.

Questions
The things families ask us first.
Does grandma need an account?
No. You can share an album with a simple link — she taps it, listens, and adds her voice, with no sign-up and no password to remember. The person who starts the album handles the setup; everyone else can just be handed the phone.
What if she’s not good with phones?
That’s exactly who we built it for. The guided walkthrough shows one photo at a time with a single giant record button and oversized text. She taps once to start, talks, taps once to stop — and it saves. Two taps per memory, no menus to get lost in.
Who can see our photos?
Only the people you invite. Albums are private by default, and each person you add gets a plain-language role — from “can look and listen” up to full control — that you can change at any time.
Do you use face recognition?
No. The app can notice that there’s a face in a photo and count how many, but it never guesses who anyone is. Every name comes from you. That keeps the whole thing private and clear of biometric-identity concerns.
Can we get our memories out?
Your photos and recordings are yours. You can turn any album into a slideshow film — with everyone’s names on screen — to share with the whole family, and nothing you capture is ever locked behind a paywall.
What does it cost?
Starting your family’s archive is free — unlimited photos and recordings, sharing, and slideshow films with names on screen. A paid Plus tier with extra finishing touches is coming later, and we’ll always tell you before you’re asked to pay.
Someday, this is how they’ll remember her voice.
