How it works
One person. One memory. A beginning.
You do not need a finished family tree or a life story written out. Start a page for someone you love, living or remembered, and let the people who know them help it grow.

Start with a person
Their name is enough. Add a photo if you have one; dates, family connections and life details can come later.
Start their page → - 2
Keep one memory
Share a photograph, write a few words or record a familiar voice. Starting from their page keeps the memory connected to them.
Open the example page → - 3
Let others join in
Invite someone with permission to add memories of this person. They join with a free account, while existing memories and family details stay with the editors.

One person is a good beginning.
A few words are enough
The way they answered the phone. A recipe in their handwriting. The story behind an old photograph. Save what you know now; titles, dates and other details can be added later.

Silent demonstration. Follow the written steps on this page at your own pace.
You choose who joins in
Your archive is private. Invite family or friends and choose their access. A viewer can explore; people with permission to contribute can add memories. Archive owners manage membership. The invitation explains what the recipient can do.
Invited relatives need a free account, but they do not need their own subscription.
Privacy, ownership and exports →Let the story grow in its own time
Connect relatives when you’re ready. Their pages and memories become part of a wider family story. You can also save memories before creating any person profiles, or bring an existing family tree.
Time to see whether it feels like home
The 30-day Family trial needs no card. After that, Family costs $59/year, billed annually until canceled. The trial does not automatically charge you. Without a plan, the archive becomes read-only; reading and owner exports remain available. Trial expiration does not begin deletion.
The trial includes 2 GB storage and 25 AI actions. One Family trial is available per account. AI tools are available only when enabled for your archive.
