One link. Their voice. A life remembered.
Memoire turns a few details about someone you love into thoughtful questions, gathers their answers in their own voice, and weaves them into a story that lasts. Here is how, start to finish.
Pick your storyteller
Start with one person. Add their name, where and when their life began, and a few notes about who they are. That is all Memoire needs to begin.
Memoire writes the questions
From those few details, Memoire crafts questions made for this one life — the kind that draw out a real story, not a yes or no. It steers around the painful and the trivial, and keeps every prompt short enough to answer in a couple of minutes.
What did Sunday mornings sound like in the house where you grew up?
A question arrives. They just talk
Each question comes as a simple link by email. No app to install, no account, no password — they tap it and start talking, in their own voice, by audio or video. Answer one, or let the next arrive on its own.
Speech becomes a story
Memoire transcribes every recording word for word and writes a clean summary alongside it. A spoken memory turns into something you can read, search, and return to — the voice kept, the words made legible.
“My mother was always up first. By the time we came downstairs the kitchen already smelled of coffee and warm bread…”
Moments find their place in time
Memoire reads each story for the moments that matter — a marriage, a move, a first job, a loss — and sets them in order. Scattered stories become one life told start to finish, gathered into chapters.
And the questions keep coming
Every answer teaches Memoire something new about who they are, so the next questions reach a little deeper — following the threads of one life instead of running down a checklist. The library grows on its own, week after week, and comes to know them better with every story.
Private by default, yours forever
A life story is the most personal thing there is. We treat it that way — kept private, kept safe, and always yours to take with you.
Your questions stay private
Every prompt and every answer is visible only to your family — never public, never shared, never sold.
Stories are encrypted
Each recording, transcript, and summary is encrypted in transit and at rest, so the voices you save stay safe.
Always yours to download
Export everything whenever you like — and keep every story, even if you ever stop paying.
Families who already started
“I just clicked the link and started talking. I never had to figure anything out — it felt like someone was finally asking the right questions.”
Janice M., grandmother of four
“The questions sparked conversations with my dad we had never had in forty years. I am learning things about him I never thought to ask.”
Michael T., son
“Seeing his stories land on a timeline, in order, was the moment it hit me — this is his whole life, in his own voice, kept safe.”
Emma L., daughter
Start with one person. Start today.
The hardest part of remembering someone is beginning. Memoire gives you a quiet place to start, and the family to finish it with you.
