Life stories, recorded together

There are things you’ve always meant to ask.

Meemori helps you sit down together, ask them properly, and keep every word — in their own voice.

Recording is always free · Takes two minutes to set up

A saved conversation in Meemori: the written transcript with a playback bar.
The Meemori recording screen: the question “Who was your closest friend as a child, and what did you do together?” with a suggested follow-up below it.
  • Where and when were you born?
  • How did you meet your husband?
  • What do you remember about your father?
  • Who was your closest friend as a child?
  • What did Sunday look like at home?
  • What did your childhood home look like?
  • What games did you love most as a child?
  • Who is in your family?
  • What food was always on the table when the whole family gathered?
  • What was your first job?

How Meemori works

Three steps, and the first one is a sentence.

  1. The setup chat: “I want to interview my grandma Rosa about her childhood in Morocco, maybe half an hour”, and Meemori answering that the questions are ready.

    You say who, and what about

    A few words is enough. Meemori writes the questions for you — or you write your own.

  2. The recording screen with one large question on a dark background.

    You sit down together

    Your questions are there when you need them. Take your time, and follow the stories wherever they go.

  3. A saved conversation: questions and answers written out, with a playback bar underneath.

    Keep it, if you want to

    Recording is optional — you can just use the questions. If you do record, the recording stays saved and Meemori writes down what was said so you can read it back.

What it does

A quiet helper in the room.

You do the asking. Meemori keeps the questions close, listens along, and remembers all of it.

It listens with you

As they speak, Meemori quietly suggests what to ask next — from what was just said, not from a list.

Who said what, written down

A written copy of the whole conversation with each speaker marked, to read back and to share.

Voice only, or with video

Some people open up more without a camera pointed at them. You choose for each conversation.

In their own language

Tell Meemori which language they speak. It listens, writes and suggests questions in that language, and you can pick from fourteen.

  • English
  • Slovenčina
  • Čeština
  • Deutsch
  • Polski
  • Magyar
  • Українська
  • Русский
  • Español
  • Français
  • Italiano
  • Português
  • Nederlands
  • עברית

No time limit

Stories run long. Pause, stop for the day, and carry on from the same question next time.

Works without internet

The ready-made conversations need no connection at all. Read the questions, press record.

Ready-made conversations

Not sure where to start?

Eight conversations are ready to go — eight questions each, about twenty minutes. They begin with the easy things and go deeper from there.

  • Childhood Memories

  • Family Stories

  • A Lifetime of Work

  • Love & Marriage

  • The Hard Times

  • Becoming a Parent

  • Advice & Wisdom

  • Life As It Is Now

Privacy

Their stories stay yours.

These recordings are personal and often precious. Here is exactly what happens to them.

  • Kept on your phone

    Recordings and transcripts are stored on your phone, not on our servers.

  • No copy kept

    To write things down and suggest questions, audio and text are sent to OpenAI, processed and returned. We keep no copy, and it is not used to train their models.

  • No account, no adverts

    No name, email or phone number is asked for. We show no advertising and never sell your data.

  • You can switch the help off

    Turn the AI features off for a conversation and nothing leaves your phone for it.

One thing we ask: tell the person you are recording, and get their agreement before you start.

What it costs

Recording is always free.

Credits pay for Meemori’s help: writing the questions, listening for follow-ups, and writing every word down.

  • Some credits to start with
  • Buy more only if you want them
  • Credits never expire
  • No subscription

Where it comes from

Meemori began in one family.

Three of us from different generations — David Gregus, Raphael Rodan and Ogen Rodan — started interviewing each other about our lives. Some of it was funny, some of it was hard to hear, and all of it was worth keeping.

Meemori is how we help other families do the same.

Questions

Before you sit down

Does the person I’m talking to need the app?

No. One phone on the table between you is enough. They just talk.

Do I have to film them?

No. Every conversation can be voice only or voice with video, and you choose each time.

Does it work without internet?

Recording does, and so do the eight ready-made conversations. Meemori’s help — writing questions, suggesting follow-ups, the written transcript — needs a connection.

Which languages does it understand?

Conversations can be in English, Slovak, Czech, German, Polish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Russian, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch or Hebrew. The app’s own screens are in English.

Where are my recordings kept?

On your phone. You can share a recording and its transcript from the app, and export everything from Settings.

What does it cost?

Recording and keeping your memories is always free. Meemori’s help runs on credits: you get some to start, can buy more in the app, and they never expire. There is no subscription.

Is it on iPhone?

Meemori is on Google Play and the App Store. The new version shown on this page arrives on Android first, with iPhone to follow.

Sit down together this weekend.

Takes two minutes to set up. The first question is the hardest part, and Meemori writes it for you.
