Capture the stories. Keep the voice. Save it for good. LastingMind captures a life in the voice that lived it, and keeps it somewhere the whole family can always find it. Start with your own story, or help a parent or grandparent capture theirs before it is too late. TWO WAYS TO BEGIN Tell your own story. Answer a thoughtful question whenever you feel like it. Talk it out or type it. About five minutes is plenty. Capture someone else's. Record the conversations you already have with them, add the photos and letters sitting in a drawer, and send them questions they can answer from anywhere. WHAT YOU CAN SAVE • Thoughtful questions about a life, asked one at a time • Memories recorded out loud, in a real voice • Conversations and old voice memos you already have • Photos, videos, letters, recipes, and documents • New stories added whenever something comes to mind WHAT YOUR FAMILY GETS Invite the people you love, and they can: • Open one place and find every story, saved and searchable • See a family tree that fills itself in as names come up • Follow timelines of career, homes, and the shape of a life • Send questions to be answered anytime • Hear answers spoken in the real voice that told them • Find the story, or the advice, whenever they need it BUILT FROM A REAL LIFE Everything here comes from what was actually said. Real stories, real experiences, real opinions, in the words they were told in. Nothing is invented. YOURS PERMANENTLY Whatever you capture stays yours. If a subscription ever lapses, your family keeps access to everything already saved. A subscription only covers capturing new stories. Because some of life's most important stories should not be lost. Privacy Policy: https://www.lastingmind.ai/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.

Thought River
Read full descriptionHide full description
Less caught up in your thoughts. More choice in what you do next. Thought River helps you build mindfulness skills with short guided practices shaped from your own reflections. Start with what is on your mind. Make space to notice it. Choose a Direction that fits what matters to you, then take a Moment that helps you return to that choice. Come back to a Moment when you want a pause, a reset, or a way to reconnect with your own words. Thought River is a mindfulness practice. It is not therapy, medical care, diagnosis, or crisis support.
