Remember the Story!

With LifeTales, we’ve made what used to be a BIG PROJECT really easy to do

Most people don’t create Memoirs for many reasons, including “No one cares”, “It’s a lot of effort” and “What would I write about”. Unfortunately, their stories are lost when they’re gone — but by then it’s too late. LifeTales solves several problems related to motivation and content creation that stop most people.

Capture, Organize, and Share

Traditional memoirs are written — a very time-intensive process. With LifeTales, you can use video, pictures, or even audio voiceovers describing the pictures. Imagine your grandkids in 30 years being able to view their great grandparent (your parents) talking about their life or hearing them tell a story about the pictures. And yes, you can still type too, if you wish!

Easy story creation
Upload photos and videos from your phone or hard drive, write the text behind the images, and record video selfies directly in-app.
Pinpoint sharing controls
You're in charge of who gets access to view or edit stories. Optionally invite others to collaborate with others as co-Storytellers.
All owned by you
All stories are downloadable to your hard drive at any time for further safekeeping.

No planning needed

No need to do a lot of research on how to write a Memoir or agonize over a grand plan — LifeTales is fluid and flexible! Stories can be created as they're remembered. Add tags and they end up in the right chapter, sorted by date! Want a new chapter you hadn't considered? It's easy to create them. There's no reason to wait — start a Memoir today!

Request a Story & Get Ideas

Children — and any other participant — can ask questions and request stories by video. It’s incredibly motivating for Parents/Grandparents! We’ll also send you suggestions for stories, in case you’re looking for ideas.

Privately Social

Invite other family members to view and comment. People can frequently show they DO care. And it’s also great for getting additional memories from others (eg Uncles).

Here's just one example so you can see how LifeTales works. They could also have recorded audio or a video selfie instead of writing. Just two minutes to preserve a memory of a lifetime.

LifeTales has made it easy to create and then later to quickly access the post (story). I love the flexibility it offers me to add more photos, texts and videos. Family and friends are able to comment on a post and, if I choose, they may also be able to add to the story.

One of my favorite apps! LifeTales allows me to compile all of my favorite memories into their own little books. I love to share them with friends and go back and look at them. From family trips to college events, it lets me use videos, pictures, and audio to remember every piece of it!

I’ve always wanted one place to save all my favorite pictures and videos while keeping them private and this is just the app! I love that I can add to it a little bit every day and I don’t have to start the story over. Being able to add a mix of content is awesome as I haven’t found any other app like it.

I’ve been using the app for 3 years and I love it. I just download the pics I like each night and at the end of a trip I have a perfect album.
