Connect Your Past to Your Future

Map the family that shaped you — parents, children, siblings, spouses — in an interactive, visual family tree that grows as your family joins. Invite relatives by email, and when they register, their tree connects to yours automatically.

Living and deceased members. Bidirectional relationships. A tree that's alive because the people in it are — or were — real.

  • Interactive visual family tree with intuitive controls
  • Invite family members to create their own profiles and videos
  • Automatic linking when invited family members register
  • Private by default — you control who sees what

Free: up to 20 family members. Premium: unlimited.

  • Invite friends to connect their story to yours
  • Visual network graph — see how lives weave together
  • Explore extended connections through degrees of separation
  • Every invitation is a chance for someone new to preserve their story

Free: up to 5 direct friends. Premium: unlimited connections and full extended network view.

Messages That Outlive You

Record a message now. Decide when it arrives. The Time Vault gives you three ways to send your words into the future — so your voice can be present at moments you may never see.

  • Scheduled Delivery — Pick a date. A birthday, an anniversary, a graduation years from now. Your message arrives exactly when you choose.
  • Death-Activated — Your Legacy Steward confirms your passing, and the messages you left behind are delivered to the people you chose.
  • Event-Based — Tied to life milestones. A wedding. A first child. A retirement. Your message waits for the moment it was meant for.

Explore Stories — Discover Real Lives

Browse real stories from real people. Explore Stories is the public heart of About Me Archives — a place to discover wisdom, laughter, and lived experience from the community.

When a member passes, their profile transforms into a memorial — marked with an "In Loving Memory" banner, their name displayed in gold, and their videos preserved as cherished memories. Their story doesn't end. It becomes part of something larger.

  • Browse stories by theme, generation, or location
  • Featured stories curated weekly
  • Memorial profiles honour those who've passed
  • Open to everyone — no account required to explore

  • Steward receives a secure invitation to accept the role
