You ask. She talks.
It's kept forever.
The stories you've been meaning to capture don't need your mum to learn anything. You guide the conversation from wherever you are — the other side of the country, or even the other side of the world — and every answer is saved in her own voice.
We say Mum all through this page. Read Dad, Nan, Pa — or a best mate of fifty years.
Start free — record your first interviewImagine this
You open the link together and can hear each other straight away, right in the app — no separate phone call to set up. She's on the other side of the country, or the other side of the world, and the distance stops mattering.
Your question appears on her screen in big, clear text — effortless to read, no hunting for the reading glasses, no straining to catch it by ear. She reads it, and simply answers you.
She mentions the dance hall where she met Dad. You type "tell me about that night" — it appears on her screen instantly.
Both of you are recorded in clear, rich audio — saved straight to your Family Vault, in her actual voice, forever.
Four steps. None of them hers.
Pick your questions
Choose from hundreds of gentle, proven prompts — the house Mum grew up in, her first job, the night she met Dad. Add your own any time.
Send Mum one link
She clicks it on her tablet or computer. No app to install, no account, no password. That is her entire setup.
You ask, she talks
Each question appears on her screen in big, clear text, and you hear each other right there in the app — no separate phone call. She has nothing to press and nothing to manage — she just reads, and answers you. You send follow-ups that appear the moment a story opens up.
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 conversation into a beautifully written story — the rambles gently tidied away, every word still yours and hers to edit.
Her whole job is to read a question and answer it out loud. If she can answer the phone, she can do this — everything else, from the recording to the safekeeping, is quietly handled at your end.
The clever bits you'll only notice when they matter
Works beautifully when hearing is hard
There's a reason the questions arrive on her screen instead of only being asked aloud: Mum sees every question, in big clear text, rather than having to catch it by ear. A soft voice, a noisy room, hearing that isn't what it used to be — none of it gets between her and the question. And your own voice comes through clearly in the app, so the two of you chat as easily as if you were sitting together. She reads, she talks, the story is safe.
In the same room? Even cleverer.
Sit Mum in her favourite chair with a tablet placed in front of her — close enough to read every question, perfectly positioned to record her clearly. You run the whole session quietly from your own phone: choosing the next question, starting and stopping the recording. No reaching over her, no breaking the moment.

Having Mum's voice forever is the treasure. But real conversations wander — and that's their beauty. The magic is what happens next: a rambling half-hour answer becomes a compelling, readable story in moments — the heart of it distilled, the tangents gently set aside, and the original recording kept untouched alongside it. Every story in your vault, instantly enticing to read — and fully editable before anyone else sees it.
Nobody types. Nobody writes. You have a lovely chat, press a couple of buttons, and a finished story lands in the vault — with Vaulty, your friendly AI helper, on hand if you get stuck anywhere along the way.
The window is real. So is the fix.
Most families lose the stories because "one day we'll sit down and do it properly" never arrives. This takes one gentle conversation. Five minutes gets Mum's first story — and twenty years of Emory University research says the sharing itself, together, is what makes the next generation stronger.
