What is FamilyStories?
A private app for family stories.
FamilyStories is a private app for families who want to securely preserve memories, voices, and life stories from parents, grandparents, and loved ones. Guided questions, text, and voice recordings help you capture stories together as a family.
Who it's for:
Adult children, grandchildren, and families who want to gather personal memories while there's still time to ask.
What you capture:
Life stories, family rituals, photos, voices, and small moments you never want to lose.
How:
Ask in the app, invite through a browser link, or answer with an invite code: questions that fit the person, a little help when you need it, text answers, voice recordings, and speech turned into text automatically.
Why start now
The most important stories often fade quietly.
Family history rarely disappears overnight. More often, life gets busy and nobody asks in time.
For example
- How Grandma used to celebrate Christmas
- Why Dad chose his first career
- The sentence that stayed with Mom through life
Some stories only come out when someone asks. FamilyStories helps you capture the memories, voices, and life stories of parents and grandparents before everyday life quietly fades them.
How it works
From scattered answers to a story that lasts.
FamilyStories walks families from the first question to a kept life story with text, voice, photos, and a way to export it.
What it feels like
An app that doesn’t feel like an app.
FamilyStories is designed to feel approachable for people who don't spend all day on their phones: large type, clear cards, voice when typing feels like too much, and a little help with every question.
What’s the first thing you remember when you think of the home you grew up in?

Security & privacy
We treat your family stories the way you would.
Family stories are private memories. FamilyStories is built around protected invites, encrypted content, and a product without ads or selling your data.
At FamilyStories, security isn’t negotiable. It’s a fundamental principle for everything your family wants to preserve.
- End-to-end encryption to help keep memories private.
- Only invited people can read or contribute.
- No ads, no public feed, and no selling your personal stories.
- Export text, photos, and original voice recordings as an archive when you want a copy.
Why we built FamilyStories
Because I never asked many of the questions.
FamilyStories came from a simple feeling: you shouldn’t wait for “someday” to preserve family stories while people can still tell them.
A personal note from Vedad.
My family has lived in different places for years. We call, write, and see each other on holidays, and still I ask far too rarely the questions I know I'd miss the most later.
I wish I had asked more about how Grandma made that one dish, about rituals nobody ever wrote down, and about the people before my time. When my grandparents were gone, I realized how suddenly quiet it gets when those stories are missing.
Alzheimer’s plays a role in our family too. That makes the wish even more urgent to capture memories in time, while they can still be told, including by voice when typing feels like too much.
My wish is simple: that families start asking earlier, not only when someone is gone, but while the memories haven't faded yet.

What families usually ask first.
FamilyStories is built for private family stories. You stay in control, answers are easy to give, and each paid plan applies to exactly one family circle.
Your family content belongs to your family. FamilyStories does not claim ownership, exploit it, or read, listen to, or view end-to-end encrypted stories, photos, and recordings. We do not sell data, use it for advertising, or use family content, account data, feedback, purchase data, or operational data to train our own or third-party AI models. Necessary operational data that is not encrypted is used only for clearly stated purposes such as security, support, purchase management, and legal obligations.
The core data infrastructure for FamilyStories is in the EU. The database is in Frankfurt, and end-to-end encrypted photos and voice recordings are kept in EU-restricted cloud storage. Essential services, such as email, notifications, and purchase processing, may process some technical data outside the EU.
No. You can interview family members in the app, invite them through a link in the browser, or let them answer with an invite code in the app. FamilyStories is intentionally calm: large text, clear steps, and no unnecessary complexity.
No. People can write or speak. Voice is converted into text automatically, and you can keep the original recording if you want both.
Yes. Subscriptions can be managed and canceled through the App Store. There are no hidden fees.
Yes. A paid plan applies to exactly one family circle. Every member of that circle can use it on their supported devices. The person who purchased through Apple manages the payment. FamilyStories is coming soon to the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Android will follow soon.
