What works today
Two ways to start.
Browser story layout
The free browser demo prepares one text story with a speaker, original-language text, optional manually supplied translation and family context. Preview, review and download a self-contained HTML page. Private reminders never enter that export. No audio, photo, cloud saving or automatic translation is included.
Native iOS development app
- One local project, up to 20 stories, speaker/language labels, interview prompts and private notes.
- Import original audio, or record an explicitly started take of up to ten minutes. Preview before keeping it.
- Add a photograph, original-language text and your own translation.
- Review and export selected stories with originals as a portable ZIP; private-note fields and unselected stories are excluded.
- Keep a private backup containing the entire project and original files.
The native app is a development build, not an App Store or TestFlight release. It is not available for purchase here.
Know the limits
There is no automatic transcription, translation, family account, invitation, hosted archive or payment. Native audio imports are capped at 25 MB, photographs at 5 MB, and total originals at 50 MB. The browser's HTML story is not a native backup and cannot be restored into the native app. You can copy its text manually.
