A living archive of stories

Capture stories before they disappear.

Record short video or audio memories, invite someone else to add their version, and keep the moments that would otherwise fade into summary.

For your own life, family history, shared memories with friends, couples, mentors, and the people who helped shape you.

Why TimeThreads

Built for the stories people actually tell.

TimeThreads is designed for short, meaningful stories that can be recorded now, revisited later, and expanded by the people who were there too.

Short stories, not long interviews

Capture what matters in a few focused minutes, while the memory is still alive.

Ask someone else the same question

Send a prompt to a parent, partner, friend, mentor, or anyone who remembers it too.

Private by default

Stories stay on your phone until you decide to share them.

Share with a link

Send a beautiful playback page without making people fight through a login flow.

Build threads of memory

Collect multiple voices around the same moment, question, or chapter of life.

Who it's for

Anywhere memory matters.

The product starts with family history, but it is just as useful for friendships, relationships, mentors, collaborators, and your own story.

Your own life

Catch the stories you keep meaning to record before they blur into summary.

Parents and grandparents

Preserve firsthand stories while you can still ask the next question.

Friends and shared history

Reconstruct trips, bands, neighborhoods, school years, and turning points together.

Couples and families

Hold onto the small stories that explain how your life became your life.

Mentors and legacy

Keep the voice, perspective, and lessons you do not want reduced to notes.

FAQ

What people ask before they start.

Is it private?

Yes. Recording is local by default, and stories are only uploaded when you explicitly share them.

Is it only for families?

No. TimeThreads works for family history, friendships, couples, mentors, collaborators, and any shared memory worth keeping.

Can someone else add their version?

Yes. You can send the same question to someone else and collect multiple perspectives in one memory thread.

Do they need the app to view a shared story?

No. Shared stories open in a browser. The app is only needed if they want to record their own version.

Can I record audio only?

Yes. You can capture either audio or video, depending on the story and the moment.

How long should a story be?

Usually a few minutes. TimeThreads is built for short, vivid stories rather than long formal interviews.
