stories
Every family has stories that deserve to be passed down. Those quiet moments, adventures, and the lessons learned shape who we are and connect us across generations.
"At 78, I wanted my grandchildren to know who I was before grey hair. Started loading cargo on East London docks at sixteen. Met their grandmother at a dance hall in Stepney in 1970. She wouldn't give me the time of day until I asked three times. We raised five children in a two-bedroom flat where laughter filled the kitchen. Life isn't about what you have, it's who you become and who you hold close."
"I had Mom's farm stories made into this book for her 80th birthday. Growing up, she'd tell us about feeding chickens at dawn, the smell of fresh bread from the wood stove, and summer evenings on the porch. Now she reads her book every day, reliving those memories. My daughter sits beside her, asking grandma to read the stories again and again. The book became a bridge between three generations."
"We spent six months capturing my grandparents' stories, from their courtship to raising a family across three countries. Now my children have a book filled with their wisdom, recipes, and the songs they used to sing together while grandpa played his ukulele."
"My grandchildren will always have my stories in this book. I shared my childhood, my dreams, the mistakes I made and what they taught me. The hard times and the good ones. When I'm gone, they'll know who I really was."

FAQ
Everything you need to know about preserving your family's memories with Keepsake
A memory book is a curated collection of family stories, photos, and voices preserved in a premium hardcover format. Unlike photo albums that only capture images, memory books preserve the narratives, wisdom, and voices behind those moments for future generations.
Keepsake costs $99 for one book project with lifetime access. Additional copies of the same book are $69 each. No subscriptions, no recurring fees. You pay once and keep access to your family stories forever.
Most families complete their book in 8-12 weeks, depending on how many contributors are involved. Once you finalize your book, printing and shipping takes 2-3 weeks. You can work at your own pace with no deadlines.
Keepsake offers unlimited contributors (not just one), accepts voice and video recordings (not just text), includes AI transcription, and uses one-time pricing instead of annual subscriptions. You also get a larger 8.5x11 inch hardcover book with QR codes linking to original recordings.
A memory book is the perfect gift for grandparents because it captures their stories, wisdom, and voice for future generations. Unlike material gifts, a Keepsake book becomes a family heirloom that preserves their legacy and can be passed down to grandchildren.
Keepsake guides your family from the first question to a finished book. Choose a project, schedule prompts, and invite contributors by email or text. Voice notes, photos, and written stories flow into a private timeline so you can revisit memories without chasing everyone for updates.
Anyone you invite (parents, siblings, cousins, even close friends). No login required: contributors answer prompts through a secure link on desktop or mobile, making it easy for every generation to share. You decide who can edit, comment, or simply read the growing family archive.
Your archive becomes a premium hardcover book with stories, photos, and QR codes professionally typeset on thick archival paper. Order multiple copies for reunions, anniversaries, or holiday gifts.
Yes. Your stories are private by default and only visible to people you invite. We store your stories in a private PostgreSQL database and keep photos and audio or video in Cloudflare R2.

When we realized we only had 60 visits left with aging parents, we wanted to capture their stories. Every app felt complicated or impersonal. So we built Keepsake as a tool we'd actually use ourselves and trust with our most precious memories. Read our story
