Every story has more than one perspective — invite your family
Invite family members to add their own memories — because every story has more than one perspective.
Your life story isn't just yours. Your sister remembers that summer differently. Your best friend has a version of that road trip you've never heard. Your grandchild wants to share what you mean to them. Guest Stories lets the people in your life add their own memories to your book.
Inviting someone is as simple as sending a link. They don't need to download the app or create an account — they open the link, record a story, say their name, and it's added to your collection. Their contribution is automatically attributed and woven into your book with a warm introduction.
The result is a richer, more complete memoir. Not just one voice telling one version of a life, but a chorus of the people who lived it alongside you. "And here, Sarah remembers it differently..." — these moments are what make a family book truly special.

Common questions about guest stories
- Do guests need to install the app?
- No. Guests use a simplified recording experience accessible through a shared link. They don't need to download anything or create an account — just open, record, and submit.
- Can I control which guest stories go in my book?
- Yes. You see all guest contributions and can include or exclude any of them. You always have final say over what goes in your book.
- Can guests see my stories?
- Guests who accept your sharing invitation can view the finished book and order their own printed copy. They cannot see your drafts or edit your stories.
