Some stories are too good to lose.

Record your family’s stories by voice. Storykept gently guides the conversation, writes them down, and keeps them forever — in whatever language they’re told.

Mobile apps — coming soon
Coming soon to theApp StoreComing soon onGoogle Play

Storykept listens, asks and writes in your family's language — dozens supported.

Just talk. Storykept does the rest.

No writing project — press record, send a private link, or open a browser story call. Storykept listens, asks the right questions, and helps the whole story come through.

The whole family can join in.

Invite parents, children, grandparents — anyone you choose. Their memories weave into one shared story, with a family tree that keeps relationships clear.

Picture a memory — even one no camera caught.

When a story has no surviving photo, Storykept can illustrate it from the words themselves — a soft watercolour, a pencil sketch, a warm painted scene — to sit beside your real photos in the book.

In your family's language.

Storykept is built for families who speak more than one language at home — listening, asking, and writing in the language each story is really told in.

Built to last — and yours to keep.

Your stories are stored in plain, open formats — audio and text. Export everything, anytime you like. It's your archive, not ours.

Find any memory in seconds.

Stories are organised by the people, places, and moments in them — so the one you want is always a search away.

Whose stories will you keep?

For the stories you don't want to lose — your own, and the ones you love most.

A gift for your parents

Give your mom or dad an easy way to tell their life — the childhood you never heard about, how they met, the years before you came along. You'll have it all in their own voice, long after.

Grandparents, to the grandkids

They'll grow up with your voice and your stories — not just photos they can't place. Tell them where the family came from, the way things used to be, the things only you remember.

Your child, as they grow

Capture the small things while your kids are small — first words, the funny way they see the world, the moments you swear you'll never forget but always do. Give it back to them when they're grown.

Your own life, in your own words

Maybe it's just for you. Talk through your own chapters one at a time — no writing, no pressure — and leave something your family will be grateful to have.

The stories you make up

The bedtime fairy tales you invent, the tall tales you can't help telling. If making up stories is your kind of fun, tell them out loud and keep them in a book — to read again, or to pass on.

Brothers and sisters

No one else remembers your childhood the way a sibling does — the same parents, the same house, the same stories told a hundred different ways. Record them together, before the details fade.

From silence to story, in four steps

  1. Choose a memory

    Start from a person, place, or question.

    Open Storykept and a question can be waiting, or begin with the story already on your mind. Childhood, the old house, the years before your children were born — one memory is enough.

  2. Record by voice

    Talk alone, by link, or on a call.

    Press the mic, send a private record link, or open a browser story call. Your original voice is captured exactly as spoken — and never overwritten.

  3. Shape & connect

    The story finds its people and places.

    Storykept asks gentle follow-ups, shapes the recording into faithful prose, and connects names, places, dates, and relationships so the archive becomes easy to explore.

  4. Kept forever

    Keep it, add voices, make books.

    The story joins a living family archive: read it, hear the original voice, invite another perspective, export your data, or turn a set of stories into a hardcover when you are ready.

Your first story could be tonight.

From archive to heirloom

When you’re ready, make a book

Storykept is first a living archive — voices, stories, people, places. When you want something to hold, the same stories gather into a full-colour hardcover, designed on your phone. The book is a keepsake; the archive keeps growing.

  1. Picture it

    Add a photo — even one no camera caught.

    Add your real photographs, or illustrate a memory that was never photographed — a watercolour, a pencil sketch, a warm painted scene — drawn from the story itself.

  2. Kept

    A book you can hold.

    When it feels right, gather the stories into a full-colour hardcover — or export a PDF. Tidy a name or a line first if you like; the original recordings stay untouched. A keepsake that outlasts any app, made to be passed down.

A note from the founder

Years ago I recorded my grandfathers telling our family’s stories. Those recordings are priceless to us now — and I wish I’d kept more while I could.

These days I’m the one far away. I live in Austria; my parents are in Bulgaria — and my father’s stories were happening without me. So I built Storykept for him: I set it up from here, he just talks at home, and his stories are kept in Bulgarian — the language they’re lived in.

If you live far from your family too, I built this for you as much as for him. English and Bulgarian are fully supported today, with more languages on the way.

— George, founder of Storykept

Questions families ask

Is this just another voice recorder?
No — a recorder saves your voice and forgets it. Storykept listens: it follows the story as you tell it, asks the next question a good interviewer would, and knows what is still missing. Tell it out of order, fix a name later — it still becomes one clear story that reads like a ghostwriter wrote it. And it is not just you: invite the family, and everyone’s perspectives weave into one living narrative.
Does my parent need to be tech-savvy, or have an account?
No account needed to record. The storyteller — your mum, dad, grandparent — simply taps a link you send them and starts talking. That is it. No app to download, no sign-up, no passwords. The family organiser keeps the account; relatives can contribute through a record link or join a browser story call.
Can Storykept build a family tree?
Yes. Storykept keeps track of people and relationships as stories accumulate, so your archive is not just a pile of recordings. You can review and edit the family tree, use it to understand who a story is about, and export it as readable files plus structured JSON and GEDCOM.
What happens to the recordings — who can see them?
Your family’s stories are private by default. Only the people you explicitly invite can access them. We will never share your recordings with third parties, and they will never be used to train outside systems. You decide who sees what, and you can change that at any time.
Is my data safe, and where is it stored?
Your data is stored on EU servers, and Storykept is built GDPR-aware from the ground up — not bolted on as an afterthought. You have the right to delete your data, the right to export it, and we require explicit consent before any processing. We do not sell data, ever.
What does it cost?
Start with a free month — every Core feature unlocked and about 1 Story Hour, no charge for 30 days. After that, Storykept Core is €59 a year for your whole family, billed annually: unlimited members, 24 Story Hours a year, and PDF book export included. Printed hardcovers are optional extras, coming soon from €99. See the full pricing page for details.
