The full picture

Many voices become one family story.

See how Spomen records, organizes, shares, and gathers family stories into a book.

01

Record alone, send a link, or talk together.

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.
One story can hold every perspective.

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.

The quiet work behind every story

A real family archive, all the way down.

Most of this should stay invisible while your father tells a story. It is here because family history deserves more than a clever prompt and a polished landing page.

Capture without friction

  • Private family spaces with real roles and permissions
  • Account-free contribution links safely scoped to one family and one request
  • Three ways to record: alone, through a private link, or together on a live story call
  • Crash-resistant recording recovery before a take reaches the archive

Intelligence that remembers

  • Focused follow-up questions based on what the story is missing
  • Several relatives woven into one attributed story without erasing disagreements
  • Every story keeps track of who said what and where each memory came from
  • People, relationships, places, dates, and themes that carry across the archive
  • If one AI service fails, another can take over — and every operation leaves a clear record

Ownership by design

  • Original audio and first transcripts that are never overwritten
  • AI-written prose and family edits stored as separate states
  • Open exports of audio, transcripts, stories, photos, structured JSON, and family-tree data
  • Readable and GEDCOM family-tree exports, plus a print-ready PDF
  • Consent records, GDPR deletion, and continued data export after cancellation

The safety net you don’t see

  • Daily encrypted recovery copies kept with a separate European provider
  • Usage is measured precisely, so families can see where their Story Hours go
  • Private links stay scoped, requests are checked, and abuse is blocked before it reaches a family
  • Subscriptions and purchase restoration are built directly into the iOS and Android apps
  • Recording behaves consistently whether you start alone, use a private link, or talk live
  • Privacy, payments, account access, and exports are tested repeatedly before every release
  • Primary storage stays in the EU, with outside processing disclosed clearly
