Before They're Gone: Mémoires

Before They're Gone helps you record a parent's or grandparent's life story, one question a day, in their own voice — and keeps every recording on your phone. HOW IT WORKS • Each day the app suggests one question from a bank of 365, written to open up real memories: "What was the very first house you remember living in, and what did it smell like on Sunday mornings?" • Sit down together, tap once, and let them talk. Pauses are part of the story. • Every answer is saved as a story in their library, chapter by chapter. • Add a note to any story — names, places, the details you want to remember. • Share a single story with the family whenever you like. SIX CHAPTERS OF A LIFE Childhood · Family · Love & Marriage · Work · Hard Times · Advice & Wisdom. The daily questions rotate across all six chapters, so even a few weeks of recording captures something from every part of their life. WHO IT IS FOR • A mother or father whose stories you have never written down. • Grandparents, before the grandchildren are old enough to ask. • Mother's Day, Father's Day or the holidays — the gift is the time you spend together. • Family historians who want the voice, not just the dates. Whether you call it a memoir, an oral history or simply their memories, this is the easiest way to interview the people you love and keep what they say. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No servers. Nothing is uploaded. Recordings, notes and photos stay in the app on your phone, and the only things that leave it are the files you choose to share. Deleting the app deletes your recordings, so share your favorite stories or export the audio book to keep a copy somewhere safe. PAY ONCE, KEEP FOREVER Record your first five stories free, with the first three chapters open. One payment — Unlock forever — gives you unlimited recordings, all 365 questions in all six chapters, and the audio book export: every story joined into one audio file, in the order of a life, with a contents list. No subscription. Never renews. Covers everyone you record. RECORD MORE THAN ONE PERSON Add Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa. Each has their own library and their own daily question. IN TEN LANGUAGES The app and all 365 questions are available in ten languages — English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Vietnamese — and each set of questions was written for that culture, not translated. A GENTLE DAILY REMINDER Optional: one notification a day, at the time you choose. No other notifications, ever.
