Dad’s stories
The little things, the way he’d tell them
Gathered by the family
A memoir, in their words
Your family,
told through their eyes.
A warm, specific question. They reply in their own voice, with a photo, with a few sentences. The family reads along, reacts, asks the follow-up. When the book is ready, it’s bound into a hardcover memoir — with QR codes inside that link back to the actual recording.
A note from the maker
We only ever know someone through the lens of who we are at the time.
It started with my mom. But everyone has someone like her. If this helps you see even one person through their own eyes, it was worth building.
— Casey

Not one-size-fits-all
The right book
for your family.
Most memoir tools assume one shape — a daughter interviewing her mother over a year. Real families have many shapes: fathers, grandfathers, in-laws, the ones who write the letters. So we built four lenses, and you turn on the ones that fit yours.
Everyone writes a side
A multi-generation family book
Mom or Dad's here. The family asks; they answer. Everyone gathers a side.
Writing for yourself
A solo memoir
One storyteller writing for themself. Just what they want to tell and what they want to last.
When they're not here to tell it
A tribute to someone gone
The grandparent isn't here to record. The family gathers what they wish they'd asked.
A voice for someone not yet born
A legacy for grandkids not yet born
A grandparent leaving a voice for grandchildren who don't exist yet.
Same engine. Same care. Different stories. You choose which lenses fit, and the book takes the shape your family needs.
Voice as artifact
Their voice,
in your hands.
Words on a page can be read. A voice can be heard— the laugh, the timing, the way the sentences trail off. Don’t lose that.
Begin while
they’re still telling.
The book takes the shape your family needs. Start when you’re ready.
