What if there was one place where all of your memories could live forever? One place where you could ask questions about the lives of people you love and always hear their voices? Introducing HereAfter AI—the most powerful, interactive, and fun way to save memories about your life. Praised by CNET, the Washington Post, CBS, and the Wall Street Journal as “the best tool preserve legacy,” HereAfter is the ultimate way to preserve and enjoy your personal and family history. Here's how: • Answer questions The app’s friendly, automated interviewer has hundreds of memory-inspiring suggestions. They cover all aspects of your life—childhood, family, relationships, interests, personality, career, and more. Pick the prompts you like, press record, and start talking. We’ll save the audio so that you or your loved ones can hear it later. • Share memories Want to talk about something that isn’t covered by one of the interviewer’s suggestions? No problem—the app also lets you share whatever you like. • Add photos Do you have the perfect photos to illustrate a story—showing that first car, prom date, epic view, or newborn child? Upload them to be part of your memory collection. • Invite family and friends You control who accesses the content you’ve shared. Otherwise, it’s totally secure and private. • Start a conversation The people you invited get to chat with the virtual you—today, or years in the future. They do so simply by speaking life story questions to the app. The app replies with stories, memories, and advice—all in your recorded voice—and shows your photos. HereAfter is . . . • Better than conventional audio recording apps Forget wading through hours of disorganized recordings. Instead, people get to hear the exact stories and memories that they want, instantly, just by asking. • Better than life story books Words on a page are silent. HereAfter lets you hear the actual voices of people you love as they share stories about their lives. • Better than traditional oral history projects Recording a life story on your own is hard—there’s just so much to talk about. With an automated interviewer modeled after an expert human biographer, HereAfter makes the process easy and fun. You can do it just a couple minutes at a time! • Interactive and conversational You talk to the app, and it talks back. Stories, memories, and personalities of your loved ones come to life rather than being locked away in dusty photo albums and journals. Your voice. Your personality and stories. Your forever.

Some conversations deserve to continue. Re:vive lets you chat with an AI that mirrors the texting style of someone you know — built from your actual chat history. Import a conversation, and our AI learns how they write: their words, their tone, their personality. ■ HOW IT WORKS 1. Bring in a conversation — export from WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, or LINE, or screen-record an iMessage/SMS thread (read on your device, never uploaded) 2. Tap Re:vive in the share sheet — it imports automatically 3. Choose who you want to talk to 4. Start chatting — AI responds in their style ■ FEATURES • Advanced AI — Our most natural, in-character conversations yet. Works on every iPhone. • Style Learning — AI analyzes real messages to capture unique texting patterns, sentence length, emoji habits, and expressions • Chat Room Themes — imported rooms open looking like where they came from; switch themes anytime • Memory Recall — Ask about past conversations and AI remembers what was said • Photo Sharing — Send a photo into the chat. They'll see it, react to it, and bring it up later. (Advanced AI only.) • Create from Scratch — Build a persona without importing a chat. Describe them in your own words and add the moments you shared. • Custom Backgrounds — Set a personal photo as your chat background • iCloud Backup — Your conversations sync and restore across devices ■ YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE Your imported chats, memories, and settings are stored only on your device — never uploaded to our servers. You choose how replies are generated: • Advanced AI (recommended) — For the most natural conversations, on any iPhone. With your explicit consent, your message and small relevant excerpts of your chat are sent to our secure server to generate each reply. They are used only to create that reply, never to train AI models, and are never stored. • On-Device AI — Everything runs locally, nothing leaves your iPhone. Requires iPhone 15 Pro or later with Apple Intelligence enabled. This model reads text only, so photo sharing is unavailable while it is selected. Switch between them anytime in Settings. ■ IMPORTANT • Re:vive generates AI-simulated responses inspired by chat history — it does not connect you with real people • Supports English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, and Japanese conversations — and the AI preserves how they actually talked (formal stays formal, casual stays casual) • Please only import conversations you own or have permission to use ■ FREE & PREMIUM Get started free with 3 conversations, 10 messages a day, and 1 photo a day. Watch a short video to add 10 more messages for that day (up to twice a day). Premium gives you unlimited conversations, unlimited messages, up to 10 photos a day, and no ads. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. We'd love to hear from you. Rate and review to help us improve Re:vive.

Verdict

The call

HereAfter AI's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
