Your relative does not need an account. They tap your private link and start talking, or you open a browser story call together. The original recording stays exactly as spoken.
Guided questions and gentle follow-ups
Private record links and browser story calls
The story stays in the language it was told.
02
One story can hold every perspective.
Your mother remembers the journey. Your uncle remembers what happened when they arrived. Each person records their part, and Spomen weaves the memories into one attributed story without dropping either voice.
Unlimited family — everyone can add their stories, by voice
Read it, hear it, and let another voice add more.
Unlimited manual edits to the finished text
03
People, places and family tree context kept together
Can Spomen build a family tree?
Yes. Spomen keeps track of people and relationships as stories accumulate, so your archive is not just a pile of recordings. You can review and edit the family tree, use it to understand who a story is about, and export it as readable files plus structured JSON and GEDCOM.
Can it keep track of places and locations?
Yes. Spomen recognises places in stories, lets you attach a precise location when needed, and keeps place tags together across the family archive. That makes it easier to find every story connected to Sofia, the old house, a hospital, a village, or anywhere else your family history lives.
