Told is easy to use, visually rich, and built for memory-keeping together. Spaces: a home for your people A Space is where a group of people keep memories together. Each Space holds its own journals, Bits, and Prompt Packs, and only its members can see inside.

Bits: short videos for your Space Record a quick video from either camera and everyone in the Space sees it right away. A glowing ring at the top of your feed shows when there's something new to watch, so you can catch up in seconds. Bits are temporary, made for the small moments that don't need to last forever. Prompt Packs: never stare at a blank page Browse Prompt Packs from the Search tab and add one to a Space. Start with the fall collection: Cozy Season Bucketlist, Spooky Halloween Bucketlist, and The Harvest Table.
