Two cups of tea. One tablet.
Every story saved.
The same-room session: Mum sees your questions in giant text on a tablet in front of her, while you guide the whole conversation quietly from your phone. She never touches a thing — she just talks to you.
We say Mum all through this page. Read Dad, Nan, Pa — or a best mate of fifty years.
Start free — plan your first sessionWhy two devices beat one
Hand Mum a phone to hold and you get shaky audio, a screen she squints at, and a recording of her lap. Put the tablet in front of her instead — steady, close enough to read, angled to capture her face and voice beautifully — and drive everything from your own phone. The technology disappears, and what's left is the two of you, talking.
And because every question is seen, not heard, it works beautifully even if her hearing isn't what it was. No repeating yourself, no raised voices — just big clear text and her memories.
An afternoon, step by step
Set the scene
Mum in her favourite chair, a tablet propped in front of her — close enough to read every question, perfectly placed to record her clearly. Pot of tea optional but recommended.
You drive from your phone
Your phone becomes the quiet remote control: you choose the next question, start and stop the recording, and add follow-ups on the spot. No reaching over her, no fiddling with her screen.
She reads and talks
Each question appears in front of her in giant, easy-to-read text — seen, not shouted across the room. She presses nothing, learns nothing, just tells the story to you.
Her chat becomes her story — automatically
Every answer is saved in her own voice, forever. Then, at the press of a couple of buttons, optional AI transcription and a smart summary turn your afternoon into a beautifully written story — the rambles gently tidied away, every word still yours and hers to edit.
Her whole job is to sit comfortably and tell you stories. Want to hear one back? Play it for her on the spot — everything else is quietly handled from your phone.
Not in the same room? Not a problem.
The very same session works when Mum is on the other side of the country — or the other side of the world. You hear each other right in the app, your questions appear on her screen in the same giant text, and both of you are recorded in clear, rich audio.
