The life you’re living now is a story.

The first apartment. The group of friends. The year everything changed. At any age, keep it while it’s still happening, in your own words, on your own time.Being asked by your family to tell yours? Start here instead.

Friends talking late at night on a living-room floor

The years that go fastest.

  • The people

    The friends who shaped you.

    The roommate, the group chat, the one who always drove. Invite them, and their version of the night sits beside yours.

  • The places

    Every apartment you called home.

    The one with the broken heater. The one you signed for alone. Photos from your camera roll, and what they don’t show.

  • The turning points

    The decisions that made you.

    Why you moved. Why you stayed. What you were afraid of. Future you will want to know what it felt like.

Sam stood at the rail the whole way over and said he’d never leave the coast. He was the first one of us to go.

A sample memory, as the app keeps it.

  1. Talk, or write.

    A guided conversation in the A Story app that follows what you say, or type a memory when you’d rather.

  2. Add what the camera saw.

    Photos, a place, a date. The story behind them is the part only you have.

  3. Share it, or don’t.

    Private until you invite someone. Friends and family can add their own versions.

Once you’re in, free: three guided questions a day, unlimited writing in your own words and the whole family invited. The calls ring in the A Story iPhone app, by invite.
What Free includes

Your life belongs here too.

The calls ring in the A Story iPhone app, which is in a private beta. Inviting family, writing and reading never cost extra.
