How it works

One story at a time. No memoir project required.

Start with one memory: a person, a place, a question, a call. Spomen keeps the voice, connects the context, and lets the archive grow before any book has to exist.

From one memory to a family story

No memoir project. No blank page. Just one remembered moment — then another voice, another place, another story your family can keep.

  1. Choose a memory

    Start from a person, place, or question.

    Open Spomen and a question can be waiting, or begin with the story already on your mind. Childhood, the old house, the years before your children were born — one memory is enough.

  2. Talk naturally

    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.

  3. Keep the whole story

    Read it, hear it, and let another voice add more.

    Spomen asks gentle follow-ups, turns the recording into faithful prose, and connects people, places, and relationships.

What happens to your stories

Private while you use it. Portable if you leave.

Originals stay original — and independently protected.

Original audio and the first transcript are never overwritten; AI-written prose and your edits stay separate. Story data and original recordings are copied daily into independently encrypted recovery archives with a separate European provider.

Private by default

Only the family members you invite can open the archive. Share links are explicit, revocable, and never part of a public feed.

No selling and no Spomen training

We do not sell your stories or use them to train our models. Named service providers process content only to transcribe, write, narrate, store, or deliver what you ask for.

A real way out

Export the original recordings, transcripts, story text, photos, and family data in standard formats. You can also delete your data.

Watermark-free, print-ready PDF of your book — included with Spomen Family

You keep Spomen Family until the end of the paid period. After that, the archive remains readable and your data export stays available; new recordings, fresh AI generation, and print-ready PDF book downloads need an active plan.
