Someday the people you love will want to hear your story in your own voice. Not a photo, not a text thread, just the actual memory told the way only you can tell it. Life Tape is where you keep it: open the app, speak, and your voice becomes a titled, dated memory on your timeline. No typing, no friction, just your life story, saved the moment it happens. THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY REMEMBER You don't remember life in bullet points. You remember it mid-sentence, out of order, mid-drive. Tap to record, or say "Tape Record" to go completely hands-free while cooking, driving, or winding down. A live transcript appears as you speak. Say "Stop Tape" when you're done. Six seconds to review, then it saves itself. AI THAT DOES THE WORK Powered by OpenAI Whisper and GPT, Life Tape transcribes with high accuracy and writes real titles like "Spring Break Sailing the Caribbean," not "Recording 22." Say "I was sixteen" and it calculates the year. Say "I was in the Army" and it connects to your military chapter. YOUR LIFE, ORGANIZED BY CHAPTER Create timeline chapters for the seasons of your life: Baby Years, High School, Army Service, Raising a Family. Add keywords and date ranges. Every memory connects to the right chapter automatically. Browse your whole life in one place, search by keyword, and see how many memories live in each chapter. LIFE WEAVE: YOUR STORY, WRITTEN This is the part that changes things. Life Tape weaves your captured memories into a single flowing narrative, your words and your experiences, shaped into something you could hand someone to read. Choose how it lives: Storyteller (polished and readable), Cinematic (rich and immersive), or Shadow (third person, can include private memories). Not a list of entries. A story. View, edit, and export your full narrative from the Life Tape Web Companion at app.lifetape.app, on any browser, any device. Export to PDF or plain text. PRIVATE SIDE: PIN PROTECTED Every story has two sides. The light side holds memories you'd share at Thanksgiving. The Private Side, behind a 6-digit PIN, holds everything else. Raw thoughts. Honest feelings. The stuff only you should read. Private recordings stay completely separate and are never visible or exported without your PIN. BILINGUAL: ENGLISH & SPANISH Full English and Spanish support throughout the app: every screen, every label, every voice trigger phrase. Switch languages in Settings. Built for bilingual families preserving stories across generations. NO ADS. NO DATA SELLING. EVER. Your voice recordings are never stored. Audio is transcribed and immediately discarded. Only the text lives in your secure, private account. Export and delete everything anytime. Start free with 10 memories. Upgrade for unlimited recording, hands-free Active Listening, full Private Side access, and Life Weave narratives. Your life happened. Keep it.
