A prompt becomes a priceless story.
“Tell us about your first date.”
Tap once. Speak from the heart. We do everything else.
Our first date was at a drive-in movie. Your father was such a gentleman. Opening my door, going to get refreshments. I remember it was a warm summer night and there were a lot of mosquitos. I was getting eaten alive. He had this tonic. It was like a bug spray. His mom must have given it to him to bring. Cause he was really sweet, but never would have thought of that on his own.
— A first-date memory, recorded with The Story Project
The kind of moment families save forever.
Built for the questions you wish you'd asked sooner
How it works
The simplest thing we've ever asked them to do.
We removed everything that scares them about technology, so the only thing left is the part that matters: their voice.
1. You sign up for them
Add your VIP — Mom, Dad, Grandma — in two minutes. Choose email or text message. That's the only setup, and you do all of it.
2. We send a warm prompt
Every ~12 days, a large-text message arrives in their inbox. One thoughtful question. One big orange button that says Record Your Story.
3. They tap. They talk.
No login. No app. Their phone camera opens, they speak from the heart, and tap Keep. We save, transcribe, and tuck it into your family's private gallery.
4. You watch. Forever.
Invite the whole family to watch. Their voice, their face, their stories — searchable and safe. The archive you'll wish you started ten years ago.
"I'll be honest — I never would have done this on my own. I wouldn't even know where to start. But the question just showed up on my phone, there was one big button, and I just... started talking. Before I knew it I'd told a story I haven't thought about in forty years. My daughter called me crying. I didn't realize how much that would mean to her."

A message from our founder
Here's A Look Inside The Story Project
"After Dad passed, I'd give anything to hear him tell the story of how he met Mom. That's what The Story Project is — that recording, before it's too late."
— A note from our founder
Why it matters
The questions we keep meaning to ask.
- How did you and Mom really meet?
- What was your father like as a young man?
- What's the hardest decision you ever made?
- What do you hope we remember about you?
Up to 20 prompts a year, one at a time, becomes a priceless video library. A decade becomes a life story.
"I only get to see my grandparents a couple times a year. I always felt like I didn't really know them — not their real lives, just the grandparent version of them. The first story my grandpa recorded through The Story Project was about growing up, things he's proud of, things he regrets. I feel like I actually know him now. That's not something I expected from an app."
— Jake S., Colorado

The Vault
Some stories are meant for one person.
While recording, your loved one can seal a story for one specific family member — a grandchild, a partner, a child, anyone dear. That story is stored privately in the Vault, and no one else, not even the family admin, can open or watch it.
When the family admin marks their passing, the Vault begins to unlock. After a seven-day grace period, each sealed story is delivered privately by email to the person it was reserved for — a final, quiet gift in their own voice.
