LifeKept walks you through the questions you'd want to ask your parent or grandparent, records their answer in their own voice, transcribes it, and saves it to a private archive your family keeps for as long as it matters.
Free during launch Private by design
Most people never tell their full story. Not because they don't want to, but because nobody ever sat down and asked. LifeKept changes that. It's a quiet, guided way to capture a life: real questions that move through where someone came from, who they became, the work they did, the love they built, and what they know now.
Every answer is recorded in their voice, transcribed, and saved to a private archive that belongs to your family. Voice and text, side by side, for as long as it matters.

A complete short arc of a life in about thirty minutes. Place, family, identity, pride, a defining chapter, a message. Quick Start captures something meaningful in a single sitting, and leaves the door open to go deeper.
Walk us through the places you lived growing up.
Describe the family you grew up inside of.
When did you first feel like yourself, like you knew what you were made of?
What are you most proud of that you actually did?
What chapter of your life do you think about most?
What do you want the people who love you to remember about you?
You don't write anything. You don't perform. You sit with the person whose story you want to keep, you read the question on the screen, and you let them talk.
When they're done, you tap to save. The recording goes to your private archive. The transcript appears next to it on its own. You move on to the next question whenever you're ready, in this session or a month from now.
