How it works

Preserving your family's story shouldn't feel like homework.

The Book We Keep quietly finds moments you almost forgot, asks one small question, and turns your answers into a private, beautifully organized archive.

  1. Step 1

    Choose the photos you want to preserve

    The Book We Keep only sees the photos you share. On mobile devices, you'll choose selected photos, add more later, or grant full access — always your call.

  2. Step 2

    Add the people who matter

    Mom, Grandpa, Aunt Sarah, Noah — anyone whose presence shaped your child's life. The Book We Keep suggests likely people from photos, and you confirm.

  3. Step 3

    Answer one gentle question

    The Book We Keep resurfaces a meaningful photo and asks something small: "What made Aunt Sarah important to Millie?" Record 20 seconds. Or write two sentences. Or save it for later.

  4. Step 4

    Watch chapters build themselves

    Each year becomes a beautifully typeset chapter with voices, photos, and relationships woven in. Print a keepsake, or keep it entirely digital.

What The Book We Keep will never do

  • Invent what happened, or how your family felt about it
  • Permanently name a person in a photo without your confirmation
  • Impersonate a relative or rewrite a parent's voice
  • Show your family to strangers, or advertise around your memories
  • Use your photos, voices, or stories to train AI models

Your family's story deserves more than a camera roll.
