Retold: Family Story Recorder

About

Every family has a storyteller. Retold helps you keep their voice — one great question, one recording, one story at a time. Ask a question each week, hand over the phone, and build a voice archive your family will treasure for generations. HOW IT WORKS • A new story-eliciting question every week — 288 hand-crafted prompts across eight themed interview kits • Press record and let them talk — no accounts, no setup, no learning curve • Every recording is transcribed automatically, entirely on your device • Stories are organized by storyteller and searchable by every word BUILT FOR FAMILIES • Add every storyteller in your family — grandparents, parents, anyone with a story to tell • They speak Spanish, French, Mandarin, or nine other languages? Transcription follows them • Mark a loved one's passing and Retold quietly remembers their anniversary each year THE BOOK Turn recordings into a typeset memoir — cover, chapters, dedication — and print or share it as a beautiful PDF. YOURS, PRIVATELY • No account. No cloud service reading your stories. Recordings stay on your device, with optional iCloud backup • On-device intelligence can suggest titles, follow-up questions, and a people-and-places index — nothing ever leaves your phone • Create an encrypted, passphrase-locked safe copy so the archive outlives any one phone Some questions can only be answered by one person. Ask them while you can — and keep the answers forever.
