About Family Story Keeper

Every family has stories that are only kept in someone's memory: where a grandparent grew up, how parents met, recipes, journeys and lessons learned the hard way. Family Story Keeper helps you save them before they're lost, in the storyteller's own voice.

Choose a storyteller, open a chapter, and work through guided questions together: childhood, family, school, work, love and marriage, raising children, places, traditions and faith, life and times, and wisdom for future generations. Record each answer as voice, type it, or both. When you're ready, make a printable family book to share or give as a gift.

Why it's different

Frequently asked questions

Is Family Story Keeper free?

Yes. The free Lite edition includes one storyteller and the first two chapters. The one-time Pro edition adds all 10 chapters, unlimited storytellers, your own questions, photos, and backup and restore.

Where are the recordings stored?

Only in your browser on this device. Nothing is sent to a server. Clearing your browser data deletes them, so download recordings you want to keep.

Can my grandparent answer in Urdu or Punjabi?

Yes. Voice answers can be in any language, and the questions can be shown in English or Urdu.

How do I make the family book?

Open a storyteller and choose Make family book. Your browser's print window opens, where you can print it or save it as a PDF.
