You moved far away. Your love didn't. Hertis is how you stay close to your aging parents, wherever you live, and keep their stories in their own voice.
Ask for a story and they answer simply by talking. Press play and you hear it just as they told it, pauses and laughter included.
Hertis is free to start, and your parents never pay. The Story Vault, and anything else marked "with Hertis Family", is part of our optional subscription.
Their stories, in their own voice
Each story is kept in themed collections, to play again. With Hertis Family.
Add old photos and your parent can tell the story behind them. Hear the first three free; more with Hertis Family.
Ask for the dish you grew up on and hear the recipe in their voice. Cook along with Hertis Family.
Your parent can leave a blessing, advice or a letter, now or sealed until a special day.
Your week and your year
On Sundays, a week with enough moments and a photo becomes a short film, in your parent's voice where they recorded it. First one free; then with Hertis Family.
Most mornings, Today's memory brings back a moment from your past. Spin again or send it to your parent. Whole history with Hertis Family.
At each year's end, a Memory Film of your year, in your parent's own voice where they recorded it. With Hertis Family.
Weekly keepsakes (your first is free), monthly recaps and keepsake books to save as a PDF. With Hertis Family.
In their day, from anywhere
Share photos, voice notes and a few words, and theirs come back to you.
Ask your parent tomorrow's question. It reaches them in the morning with your name.
Each morning your parent gets one gentle question, answered with a tap, a photo or their voice.
One tap on "I'm well" lets the whole family know.
Each evening they can light the Lamp. Add an ember, or light your own light wherever you live, and they see who lit one.
Lamp evenings: ask the family to light a light on a day that matters. One a month free; more with Hertis Family.
Turn a spare tablet into a photo frame for your parent. With Hertis Family.
Plan a call, a coffee or a visit, and your parent confirms with one tap.
Birthday reminders, a daily game and a weekly quiz they play too.
Close, without watching
A calm line tells you they were here today, or that a call might be welcome. It comes only from them opening Hertis or sharing, never location or health data. Hertis is not a medical or emergency service.
A companion for them, free for them
Your parent can talk to the Hertis Companion and hear a short, warm reply. It can look up the news, a score or the weather. It says plainly that it is an AI and turns them back towards you. Their words stay private unless they share them. With Hertis Family you may get a gentle note such as "in lovely spirits today".
Free and Hertis Family
Free includes everything not marked, in one circle that can hold both parents. It shows your last 30 days; older moments are kept, not deleted.
Every new circle starts with a Founding Month: all of Hertis Family for 30 days from your parent's first share. No card, no automatic charge.
Hertis Family adds everything marked above, plus full history, Family Questions, search, and more circles, occasions and time capsules.
One plan covers the whole family, and any of you can keep it. Stop paying and nothing is deleted; it all opens again when you return.
The Legacy Guarantee, a one-time purchase, keeps every moment open to your family, even if a plan lapses. Memorial spaces are never behind a paywall.
Private to your circle, encrypted, no ads, never sold. Everyone signs in with a mobile number and a one-time code.
Hertis Family is an optional auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly and charged to your Apple Account. It renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your account settings.
