Her stories.
In her voice.

Every day, Anamnesis asks one question about her life, read aloud in a warm voice. She answers by talking. Her family keeps every word.

How it works

Five minutes a day.
A book for a lifetime.

One

A gentle start.

She picks what she loves, puts her picture on the front of her book and chooses when she'd like her question. Every step is spoken aloud.

Two

One question a day.

Chosen from what she loves, never the same one twice. One big button to answer, and “Another” if today's isn't right.

Three

She just talks.

Her words appear as she speaks. She can pause as long as she likes; the app waits. One button when she's done.

Four

Her book grows.

Every story becomes a page, by month, with her voice a tap away. Old photos get their stories told, too.

Made for grandparents

Simple enough for anyone.

Big type. Big buttons.
One thing per screen.

And every step read aloud, so nothing has to be squinted at.

Works anywhere.

No internet needed. The voice is built into the app.

∞

Her voice, kept.

The recording itself is saved, not just the words.

Photos with stories.

Pick an old photo and tell the story behind it. The two stay together.

Private by design.

Stories stay on her phone. No ads, no accounts, no selling. Details.

Questions chosen
from what she loves.

Cooking, faith, family, music, gardening. Never the same one twice.

Questions

Good to know

Does it need the internet?

No. The voice is built into the app and her words are written down on the iPhone itself, so it works anywhere.

Who can hear the stories?

Only whoever holds the phone. Sharing with family is coming, and will be off unless the family sets it up.

What if she'd rather type?

Every question can be answered in writing, too.
