Folklore is a storytelling app where you and your family save your photos and videos along with the stories behind them - so no memory is lost. Today, we're losing connection to those who matter most because the pictures and stories of our lives are scattered and easily forgotten. As memories fade, relationships grow distant and family histories risk being lost. Folklore treats memories as living stories - made up of images, videos, voice notes, journal entries, locations, and people - not just files trapped in your camera roll. Folklore gathers everything in one place, making it easy to collaborate, add missing details, and see every perspective. Folklore makes it easy to invite friends and family to not only add their perspective on shared experiences - but to add stories of their own that you may not have known about! Explore a timeline of your and your family's history, explore the places that tie you together, find the answers you've always wanted to know. It's a place to bring everyone together. Invite your dad and let him talk through the old photos. Ask your sister what she remembers. The people who were there fill in the parts you forgot. What you can do with Folklore: • Import photos and videos from your phone, iCloud, Google Photos and more • Add the story behind any photo - in your words, voice or video • Collaborate with family and friends for richer, fuller stories • Find any memory instantly with search • Explore your history by time, places, and people • Built-in privacy controls - your stories, your rules • Meet Lora, your family historian — ask by text or voice and she'll help you find, fill in, and revisit the stories that matter. Memory is fleeting. Save and cherish it now - not just for yourself, but for those who come after.
