Everything you need to know about preserving your life stories.
Do I have to be a writer to use Lives to Tell?
Not at all. Lives to Tell is for anyone who wants to preserve memories. You don’t need perfect grammar or polished sentences—the app gives you simple tools to capture your stories in your own words.
Are my stories private by default?
Yes. Every story starts out private, and only you can see it. You choose if and when to share—with family, friends, or more widely.
Can I record my stories with my voice instead of typing?
Yes. You can speak naturally and the app will turn your words into text. This makes storytelling easier and more comfortable for many users.
Can I share stories with family and friends?
Absolutely. You decide who gets access. Family and friends can read, comment, and even help you build a shared legacy together. Simply press Share from your story and invite anyone to the app to view, comment, and contribute.
Can I turn my stories into a printed book?
Yes. When you’re ready, your stories can be transformed into a beautifully designed keepsake book that you can hold, gift, and pass down. Simply open the My Book menu to select the stories you want, personalize the design, and create a book that’s uniquely yours.
