Family Diary

Family Diary is a voice-first application that helps individuals, especially parents and grandparents, create a written life story through daily spoken prompts. Users receive one gentle question each day about topics such as childhood, work, or love, and can answer by voice or text. Their responses are automatically organized into memoir chapters, which can be kept in their original form or polished into prose.

The app is designed for storytellers, particularly parents and grandparents, who may not have typing skills or prefer a voice-first approach. It is also suitable for families who want to preserve and share their loved one's life stories in a private and accessible way.

Family Diary prioritizes privacy with features like private passages, encrypted family codes, and database-level access rules. Stories and photos are backed up nightly to off-site storage, and removed content can be recovered within 7 days. The app does not use family data to train AI.

Yes, users can photograph handwritten journals or letters, and Family Diary will transcribe and integrate them into the life story. This allows older writing to be preserved alongside new entries.

Family members can read, listen, and react to the stories via a private web page or the app. They can also contribute questions that shape future prompts, helping to guide the storyteller’s reflections.

Yes, every diary has a private web page where family members can read, listen, and browse the story from any browser without needing the app. The text can also be enlarged for accessibility.
