Your Life, Your Words

Begin With a Book

The app opens to a virtual book. Five chapters of thoughtful questions ease you in — your name, the house you grew up in, the people who shaped you, what you've learned. By the end, your answers are woven into Volume I: your opening biography.

Speak, Don't Type

Tap the microphone. Start talking. Apple's on-device speech recognition turns spoken words into text, no internet required. Your voice. Your pace.

A Library of Volumes

Volume I (the foundation), Volumes II through IV (the chapters of your life), Volume V (the photo album). The book grows with you. Skip anything. End any time. There is no finish line.

Old Photos, Restored

Bring scratches, fading, and creases under control. Faces gently sharpened. Even bring black-and-white photos to color — your wedding day, your first house, the camp from 1953.

PDF Keepsake

Generate a beautifully formatted memoir book with photos and a table of contents. Send to family on Android, or print one for the shelf.

Senior-Friendly, Really

Large text. Big buttons. Two taps to anywhere. Autosaves as you go. Full VoiceOver support. Designed so a parent can use it alone, with no setup help after install.

One Price. Paid Once.
