How it works
Five minutes a day is plenty. Most stories take three to five.
1. Llama asks
A friendly question each day, from your earliest memories to the advice you'd pass on. Almost 1,000 to choose from, or ask your own.
2. You just talk
Turn your phone sideways and tell the story. No editing, no typing, no wrong answers. Questions can be read out loud.
3. Cappy keeps it safe
Every story earns a keepsake and is kept safe, written out and searchable. When you're ready, your family receives it all.
Two ways to tell the stories
Tell your own stories
Prop up your phone, answer a question, and watch your shelf of keepsakes grow.
Record Mom, Dad or Grandpa
You hold the phone and ask the questions on screen. They just talk, and never have to touch a thing.
A Legacy Profile your family will treasure
Your stories become a private page, organized by the chapters of your life. Your family can watch, search every word, and get a memory in their inbox each morning.
Made for grown-ups, with a little fun
Big, clear and easy
Large text, big buttons, and a text-size setting. Built for 70-year-old eyes and thumbs first.
Keepsakes, never scores
It feels a little like a game, but nothing is graded. Every story counts the same.
Do it together
Hold the phone and ask the questions for someone you love. They never touch a screen.
Every word searchable
Stories are written out automatically, so your family can find any name, place or year.
Private by design
Nothing is shared until you say so. You choose exactly who receives it.

Questions people ask
Who is Storyola for?
Anyone who wants to leave their life story for family, and the grown children who help them do it.
Can my family see my stories right away?
No. Your stories stay private until you give your gift, either when you've told all you want to or if something happens to you. You can choose to share early in Settings.
What happens if I stop subscribing?
Your stories are kept for 30 days, and you can download every video to keep forever at no extra cost.
Do I need to be good with technology?
No. If you can answer a phone call, you can use Storyola. A helper can also do it all for you.
Is this a game?
No. It borrows a few cheerful touches from games, like keepsakes and a road to follow, so it feels fun to come back to.
