Interview grandma. Voice-record each story. Upload the photo it's about. Attach metadata (date, place, people). Organize chronologically or by person. Generate a printable memory book PDF at year-end. Before the stories are gone. Private by design — no cloud-AI transcription unless you opt in.
Record on phone or laptop. Each story has a title, speaker, topic. Optional local Whisper transcription (no cloud unless you opt in). Stories preserved forever, not just in memory.
Upload photos and tag with: when (year or specific date), where (place), who (list of people), story it belongs with. Forget nothing before you forget who that is in the picture.
By person (grandma's stories), by era (WWII, childhood, first apartment), by event (wedding, move). Timeline + person views. Search by name, year, place.
One-click export: chronological book of stories + photos + transcripts + metadata. Print at home or send to Shutterfly. A real book for grandchildren.
Multiple family members can add. Dad records grandpa, mom records grandma, nieces add their high-school memories. Everyone's contributions merge into one family vault.
Flask + SQLite. Runs on a family server or just one laptop. Your family's memories are not Ancestry's leverage. Export to Markdown or PDF any time.
