A service that records a person's life story in their own voice through guided phone calls, family conversations, or an in-person interviewer.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-18 issue.
For
Families preserving a relative's memories
Worth noticing
The storyteller can use a landline or mobile phone without installing software, creating an intentionally low-tech recording process.

Field notes

The service separates the act of remembering from the technical work around it. Its phone-based option is designed for landlines or mobiles and proposes a recurring call at an agreed time, while other options let relatives lead conversations or bring in a trained interviewer. The homepage also describes audio as the default, with video available when wanted, and shows an illustrative eleven-conversation sequence rather than presenting the sample as a public archive.
