What they said
“So, uh, I remember when — this was maybe the summer of '58 — we used to go to my grandmother's house every Sunday. And she would, you know, she'd make this huge meal, like, everything from scratch. And all the cousins would be there, running around in the yard, and... and I can still, um, smell that kitchen. The bread, the soup, everything. She never used a recipe. She just knew.”

Privacy Promise
Your Stories Stay Yours
Stories are processed on-device and synced through your personal iCloud. When you order a printed book, content is sent to our servers for printing — then permanently deleted. We never store your family's stories.
On-Device Recording & Transcription
Voice recognition runs entirely on your iPhone — nothing is sent to the cloud.
Your iCloud, Not Ours
All stories, recordings, and photos live in your private iCloud account. We never see them.
Print & Delete
When you order a book, your content is encrypted, printed, then permanently erased from our servers.
Unlike other services, we don't store your family's stories on our servers.

Made for real families
Stories families are already preserving
I bought this for my dad's 70th birthday. He talks into his phone every Sunday morning with his coffee. The book arrived last month and he cried. Best gift I've ever given.
Mum has dementia. We started recording before it progressed too far. Those stories are now in a beautiful book my kids will have forever. Worth every penny.
I tried StoryWorth but my mother refused to type. With Tell Me Your Story, she just talks. And no subscription! One payment, done.
The Story Behind the App
Why I Built This
I was six when my grandmother passed. I have exactly three memories of her — the smell of her kitchen, the sound of her laugh, and the way she called my name. Everything else is gone. No recordings. No written stories. Just fragments that fade a little more each year.
Years later, I watched my own parents age and realized: if I don't capture their stories now, my children will inherit the same silence I did.
But every tool I found wanted a subscription, stored stories on someone else's servers, or required my parents to type — which they'd never do.
So I built Tell Me Your Story. An app where they just talk. Where their words stay in their own iCloud. Where one purchase gives them a beautiful book — no monthly fees, no corporate database of family secrets.
Because some things are too precious to rent.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know
Curious how Tell Me Your Story works? Here are the answers to the questions we hear most.
Absolutely. Tell Me Your Story is voice-only — no typing required. If they can make a phone call, they can use this app. The interface is designed with large buttons and warm, encouraging prompts. Storytellers in their 80s and 90s use it every week.
Yes. $49.99 or $79.99 once. No subscription, no annual renewal, no hidden fees. Ever. You pay once, and the app is yours for life.
On their device and in their personal iCloud — not on our servers. During book printing, content is temporarily processed on our servers then permanently deleted. We never store your family's stories.
No subscription ($99/year adds up fast). Privacy-first (your iCloud, not our servers). Voice-first (no typing required). Two book quality options. Six languages built in. And you own it forever with a single purchase.
It cleans up grammar, removes filler words, and shapes spoken words into readable prose. You control the level: light touch, moderate, or full narrative polish. The storyteller's voice and meaning are always preserved. You see a side-by-side comparison and choose which version to keep.
Yes. The app includes a full book preview. You can reorder chapters, add photos, write a foreword, and review everything before placing your order. Nothing prints until you say so.
Standard ($49.99): Hardcover casewrap book with black & white interior. Premium ($79.99): Linen hardcover with dust jacket and full color interior. Both are professionally printed and shipped to your door.
Even 5–10 stories make a meaningful book. There's no minimum. Record at their pace — the app has prompts for 40+ life topics to inspire them whenever they're ready.
Yes. Guest Stories lets other family members record their own memories and perspectives for the same book. A grandchild's favorite memory, a sibling's perspective — all woven together with proper attribution.
English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Polish. Both the app interface and AI polish work in all six languages. A German grandmother gets a German book, an English grandfather gets an English one.
Don't Wait Until the Stories Are Gone
Every day, memories fade. Give your loved ones the gift of preserving their voice, their stories, their legacy — in a book your family will treasure for generations.
Free to start. No subscription. Your stories stay private in your iCloud.
