Forever Known is a complete home for a life story, from the very first memory to a lasting legacy. Here is everything it does today. New here? See how it works.
Voice and video first. Years from now, the people who love you will not reach for a page of typed words - they will want to hear your voice and see your face. Written memories matter and we keep every one, but a recording is the closest thing to being back in the room together, so we make it the easiest thing to do. And do not wait to look picture-perfect - be remembered exactly as you are.
Capture every kind of memory
- Record in your own voice and video, right in the browser, nothing to install
- Prefer to write? Do that, and add photos, documents, and family recipes too
- A single memory can hold a note, a voice recording, a video, and unlimited photos together
- Take a photo on the spot with your camera, or choose from your library
- Every recording is transcribed automatically, so it is searchable and easy to read
- Even fill in your profile just by talking, hands-free
A warm guide, so you are never stuck
- A thoughtful interviewer asks the questions, one at a time, so you never face a blank page
- Answer out loud or by typing, at your own pace
- A growing library of prompts across every chapter of a life, childhood, love, work, faith, lessons, and more
- Ask your own questions, and add them for other families to use
Beautifully organized
- Every memory is sorted into a theme automatically, so you can explore a story by Love, Wisdom, Childhood, and more
- Two ways to explore: a flowing life Story, and a visual Timeline of the years
- Jump to any year or decade, and search across the whole story
- A one-touch life-story draft that weaves the memories together
- A portrait and cover photo make every story feel like a keepsake
Kept by the whole family
- Invite family and friends, each with the right role: Keeper (active now, or a future Keeper who steps in after a passing), collaborator, or family and friends
- Loved ones add their own memories; keepers approve what joins the story
- A private family code for the stories you want kept close
- Choose who sees each memory: everyone, just family, chosen people, or only you
Share and remember
- A beautiful public page, or keep it entirely private
- Share by link or a branded QR code you can print
- Keepsake tags that open the story with a simple scan
- A well-wishes wall for friends and family to leave a note
- Follow a story and be notified when new memories are added
Messages across time
- Leave messages to be opened later, on a date, an event, or one day when the time is right
- Address them to one person, to family, or to everyone
- Delivered at just the right moment, in your own words and voice
A dignified memorial, when the time comes
- A tribute line and lifetime dates on a beautiful memorial page
- Obituary, service details, and resting place, with a map
- Loved ones are notified, and any waiting messages are shared
Yours, forever
- Download the entire story as a self-contained archive, any time
- Your family owns it, never locked in, never held for ransom
- Thoughtful consent for voice and recordings, and built for accessibility
- Works on any phone, and installs to the home screen like an app
