Parentalias is a private space for your family. The person you're thinking of records stories at their own pace — guided by questions and photos you share with them. Stories arrive in your inbox when they're ready.
"What's a moment from your childhood you've never quite forgotten — and why do you think it stayed with you?"
Press to Record
Every family has an irreplaceable library of stories. The people, places, and ideas that captured their imaginations and took their breath away. Capture the moments that define a life and share them with the grandchildren who are not yet born. Give them the jokes, the wisdom, the lessons learned.
Parentalias is built around radical simplicity. Your loved one doesn't need an account, a password, or any understanding of technology. They open a link, browse questions and photos you've shared, and press one button to record.
Create a private space for your family in a few minutes. Add questions you'd love answered, or photos that might spark a story.
Your storyteller gets a recording link — no login, no passwords. You keep a prompts link to add questions and photos anytime.
Your storyteller browses your questions and photos, chooses one that moves them, and records. Or simply speaks whatever is on their mind.
You receive an email the moment a new story lands — audio and a full transcript, ready whenever you are.
No writing. No accounts. Just speak — and your stories are kept safe for everyone who loves you.
Set it up once. After that, stories arrive — unexpected gifts, on ordinary days. Each one something you'll return to for the rest of your life.
Whether you're setting this up for someone you love, or you've just received a recording link — here's where to begin.
Takes a few minutes. You'll get a prompts link to add questions and photos, and a recording link to share with your storyteller.
Set up a family space →You'll manage prompts. Your storyteller just records.
