The whole family’s story.
Most products help one storyteller finish a book. A Story keeps everyone’s version of the same moment, side by side, and keeps growing after the book is printed.
Four reasons to choose A Story
You want everyone’s version, not just one.
A memoir tells it one way. A Story keeps Mom’s version, her brother’s, and the photograph - side by side, each in their own name.
Your parent would rather talk than type.
A Story rings in its iPhone app at the hour they choose, and we help you set it up. They answer and talk, and it follows what they say, the way someone who knows them would.
Life is still happening.
The first apartment, the grandkids, this Tuesday. A Story is built for the life being lived now, not only the one behind you.
Keeps growing after the book.
Print any chapter when you’re ready. The archive stays open, and the family keeps adding to it.
Running a program for a library, a school or a care community? StoryCorps is a public archive, not a private family one. A Story’s archive is private by default, and who may listen is agreed with you before anyone is called. A Story for organizations
Side by side, feature by feature.
A Story beside the products families most often look at, from each company’s own pages. A dash means the feature isn’t listed.

From each company’s public pages, September 2026. Features change; we update this as they do.
Only your family hears the recordings. Nobody at A Story reads, listens to or looks at your memories, unless you ask us to help or someone reports something. Our privacy promises
One moment does not need one official version.
A Story keeps all of them attached to the same memory.
- Joan
I remember being terrified.
- Paul
I thought it was the best day of that summer.
- The photograph
Same afternoon.
Begin with one storyteller.
The calls ring in the A Story iPhone app, which is in a private beta. Inviting family, writing and reading never cost extra.
