There's a moment, usually in a kitchen, when someone starts a story with "you probably don't remember this, but…" and you realize you're the last person who might. Family Museum is for that moment. Voice memoir meets family tree. Tap record. Let them talk. We'll transcribe their words in real time, right on your iPhone — no uploads, no cloud — so you can watch the sentences appear as they speak. When they stop, we help you label who spoke which line, extract the people and places they mentioned, and file the whole story into an archive shaped like a family tree. A family tree of voices, not just names and dates. What it does — Records any length, pauses when they pause, survives a phone lock — Transcribes on-device with Apple Speech, then upgrades to speaker-labeled transcripts automatically — Builds a real family tree — by generation, by year, by person — as you add the people in each story — Ask the archive anything in plain English ("what stories happen in the kitchen?") and get answers with citations back to specific recordings — Stories sync privately across your devices via iCloud. Share a family archive with relatives by name, not email. Who it's for — Anyone with an elder whose voice they don't want to forget — Families spread across homes who want one shared oral history — People who write their parents' stories on napkins at dinner and lose them by Tuesday — Anyone building a family tree who wishes the boxes had voices, not just dates Subscription — Family Museum Pro The first 3 stories are free. After that, Family Museum Pro keeps the archive growing. — Family Museum Pro Monthly — $9.99 / month, auto-renews — Family Museum Pro Yearly — $79.99 / year, auto-renews, 7-day free trial Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Family members joining via an invite pick their own language when they confirm their profile. The gender field no longer pre-selects "Prefer not to say" so the choice is yours to make. ### 2.0.3 — 2026-05-22 You can now start a second family archive any time from Settings → Your Families. Useful if you've joined a relative's archive and want one of your own where you're the admin, or if you keep separate archives for different sides of the family. ### 2.0.2 — 2026-05-21 New invite experience: a branded sheet with kinship-aware copy when you add a family member, plus friendlier error handling if iCloud hiccups during sharing. Auto-retry on transient sync errors before showing a warning. Polish and reliability across the share flow. ### 2.0.1 — 2026-05-19 Fixes for App Store 2.0.0: • Settings → Delete archive now properly removes your archive from iCloud (a missing CloudKit teardown could leave the archive stuck after deletion). • The onboarding "Try a demo family" action now shows a clear confirmation before loading the sample family, with instructions on how to remove it later. • "Add a family member" now hands off to the iCloud sharing card (Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or copy link) when you choose a permission tier — replacing the misleading text-message wording on the previous build. ## More apps by Maisum Hashim - [SoTech - Your Digital Partner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sotech-your-digital-partner/id6782146960) All apps by Maisum Hashim: https://appshunter.io/developer/1896574149 ## Related topics [archive family](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/archive-family) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
