## What is Memoir?

What if your grandkids could hear your voice telling the story of your first job, your first heartbreak, the moment you knew? Once a month, the AI interviews you for 30 minutes. Year-end, you get a 60-page printed book.

Memoir is the voice-first life-story app that interviews you (or your parent, or your grandparent) one chapter at a time — and turns the answers into a real printed book.

THE STORYWORTH ALTERNATIVE — FASTER, VOICE-FIRST
Storyworth sells $99/year on emails. Memoir sells $59/year on your phone — voice answers, on-device transcription, instant playback, year-end book.

ASKED. ANSWERED. PRINTED.
1. Pick who the memoir is for: you, a parent, or a grandparent.
2. Sit for thirty minutes a month. The interviewer asks. You talk.
3. Listen back to your own voice. Read the transcript. Edit if you want.
4. At year-end, twelve chapters become a designer-typeset hardcover book ($99) drop-shipped worldwide.

200+ LIFE-STORY PROMPTS
• Childhood: "Tell me about the kitchen you grew up in."
• Parents: "What's the moment you realized your mom was a person, not just your mom?"
• First love. First job. The year you almost quit. The room you'd go back to.
• 60+ combinatorial frames × 12 month stations × 8 thematic tracks for endless variation.

ON-DEVICE BY DEFAULT
• Apple Speech transcribes your voice locally — audio never leaves the phone.
• No cloud LLM, no server reading your story, no third-party analytics.
• Sealed chapters encrypted with AES-GCM, key in your iOS Keychain.

THE GIFT OF A VOICE
A printed Memoir hardcover is the gift parents and grandparents actually keep. "Don't lose your parents' voices" — give them the app on Mother's Day or Father's Day; one year later, they (and you) get a real book.
