A father telling a story to his adult daughter at their kitchen table

Every family story has more than one voice.

Record alone, send a private link, or talk together on a story call. Storykept asks the next question and weaves each person’s memories into one faithful story, in the language they spoke.

30 days · about 1 Story Hour · no card needed

English and Bulgarian are native-reviewed. 32 more recording languages are available in beta.

More than a voice recorder

Many voices become one family story.

One story can hold every perspective.

Your mother remembers the journey. Your uncle remembers what happened when they arrived. Each person records their part, and Storykept weaves the memories into one attributed story without dropping either voice.

The story stays in the language it was told.

Storykept listens, asks, and writes in the language your relative actually speaks. It does not quietly turn a Bulgarian, Polish, or Spanish memory into an English-only book.

Your archive has an exit.

Download the original audio, transcripts, story text, photos, and family data in standard formats. Storykept is built for decades, but your family never has to depend on one company to keep reading.

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 mum or dad an easy way to tell the years before you knew them. They can talk at home while you set everything up from wherever you live.

Grandparents, to the grandkids

Give them more than names under old photographs. Keep the voice that explains who everyone was, what the old house felt like, and why that day mattered.

From one memory to a family story

  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. Talk naturally

    Record alone, send a link, or talk together.

    Your relative does not need an account. They tap your private link and start talking, or you open a browser story call together. The original recording stays exactly as spoken.

  3. Keep the whole story

    Read it, hear it, and let another voice add more.

    Storykept asks gentle follow-ups, turns the recording into faithful prose, and connects people, places, and relationships.

Your first story could be tonight.

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 — whatever language your stories are told in.

What happens to your stories

Private while you use it. Portable if you leave.

Private by default

Only the family members you invite can open the archive. Share links are explicit, revocable, and never part of a public feed.

No selling and no Storykept training

We do not sell your stories or use them to train our models. Named service providers process content only to transcribe, write, narrate, store, or deliver what you ask for.

A real way out

Export the original recordings, transcripts, story text, photos, and family data in standard formats. You can also delete your data.

Questions families ask

Is this just another voice recorder?
No. Storykept follows the story as you tell it, asks the next useful question, and writes faithful prose while keeping the original recording. Invite another relative later and their perspective can be woven into the same attributed story.
Does my parent need to be tech-savvy, or have an account?
No account is needed to record. Your parent or grandparent taps the private link you send and starts talking. There is no app to install and no password to remember. You keep the organiser account; relatives can use a record link or join a browser story call.
What happens to the recordings — who can see them?
Your family’s stories are private by default, and only people you invite can open the archive. Named service providers process content only to transcribe, write, narrate, store, or deliver what you ask for; the Privacy Policy lists them and any non-EU processing. Storykept does not sell your stories or use them to train models.
What does it cost?
Storykept Core is €59/year — one family plan for Story Hours, family sharing, voice calls, and PDF book export. 1-month free trial to start.
