## What is familyloom?

FamilyLoom guides you through conversations that capture your family's stories — recorded in their voice, kept forever.

Pick a conversation theme — childhood memories, the people who shaped them. Sit down together. The app gives you one question at a time, designed to go deeper than small talk ever does. You listen. Everything is recorded.

That's it. No writing. No typing. No figuring out what to say. Just a real conversation between two people, guided by questions that unlock stories you've never heard before.

HOW A SESSION WORKS

Choose a theme. Themes like "Childhood & Growing Up" and "The People Who Shaped You" give the conversation shape — a beginning, a middle, and a natural place to stop.

Sit together and press record. One question appears on screen. Read it out loud. When they finish, tap next. The app handles pacing so you can focus on the person in front of you.

Keep their voice. Every word is saved as a high-quality recording on your device. Their stories, their laughter, the pauses where they're searching for the right memory. Play it back anytime.

WHY THIS WORKS

The best family stories don't come from writing prompts or talking into a phone alone. They come from sitting across from someone who genuinely wants to know — and asking the right question at the right moment.

FamilyLoom's questions are designed for depth. They start with the familiar and move toward the stories that surprise both of you. The kind that make someone say "nobody's ever asked me that before."

You don't need to be a good interviewer. You just need to show up. The app does the rest.

SIMPLE BY DESIGN

Open the app, pick a theme, sit down, record. No account needed. No login. No cloud setup. Everything stays on your device — your family's stories belong to you.

We're building FamilyLoom alongside our earliest families. If you have questions or want to share your experience, reach out: dharan@familyloom.tech
