About

LifeLore

LifeLore is the calm, silver-friendly memoir app that turns scattered family stories into a printable, source-traceable life book. For parents (50–75) and the children who want to preserve their stories. iOS-first. Privacy-first. Why LifeLore? • Life-stage prompt tree: 30+ thoughtful prompts across six chapters — childhood, school, career, love, parenting, retirement. One new prompt arrives every week, so parents never face a blank page. • Multimodal entries: capture each memory the way you actually remember it — speak for up to 5 minutes, type a few lines, attach 1–3 old photos — all in one entry. Built-in Whisper transcribes the audio for you. • Source-traceable AI chapters (our differentiator): AI weaves your entries into chapters with narrative arc — and long-press any sentence to see exactly which of your sentences it came from. Reject, edit, or approve. AI never invents. • Silver-friendly by default: 17pt+ body text, ≄54pt tap targets, calm warm palette, VoiceOver-ready. No icons-as-buttons trap. Designed with grandparents in mind. • Local-first by design: your entries, audio, and photos stay on-device in encrypted SQLite. The cloud only knows your account email — nothing else. • Family export: one tap to a beautiful, encrypted PDF / EPUB / private web link. Send to siblings, descendants, or a print-on-demand bookbinder. Privacy & values • No tracking, no ads, no data sold. Entries and chapters live on your device — they are never uploaded. • AI calls route through Sanva's own LLM gateway and process only the chapter being written; request bodies are not retained past 24h debug window. Never used for training. • One-tap account deletion cascades across cloud (account email) and local SQLite within 30 days. Pricing • Free tier: 20 entries, unlimited prompts. • Pro: $4.99/month or $19.99/year — unlimited entries, AI chapters, family export. LifeLore is built by a single indie developer (sanva.tk) chasing the dream of 20+ honest MVPs in 2026. No VC, no growth hacks — just careful design for families who want their stories to last. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled. Manage and cancel via your App Store account. Pricing varies by region.
