Every life deserves a story the whole family writes.

Storya is a private timeline for someone you love: a newborn, your father at seventy, the dog who was there for all of it. Photos, voice notes and letters for later, added by the people who were there.

Eighteen years, kept by the people who were there.

This is what Adel's timeline could look like. Every memory lands on the day it happened, whoever adds it and whenever they get round to it.

  1. Her first week

    The day she came homeAdded by Mum, three weeks later

    Photos and videos

    Uploaded in full quality and placed on the day they were taken, not the day someone found time to share them.

  2. One year, two months

    Walking to Grandpa, all by herselfVideo added by Grandma, from her own phone

    The whole family adds to it

    Invite grandparents, aunts, uncles and close friends. Everyone adds their own memories to the same timeline, and you decide who can add and who can only look.

  3. Three years

    “When I grow up I want to be a giraffe.”
    0:42
    Voice note recorded by Dad at bedtime

    Voice notes

    First words, songs, bedtime stories, Grandma's recipes told out loud. Recorded in the app and kept next to the moment.

  4. Six years

    First day of schoolMarked as a milestone by Mum

    Milestones

    First steps, a first day at school, a 70th birthday. Marked on the timeline so they stand out from the everyday.

  5. Eighteen years

    A letter from the day you were bornSealed until her eighteenth birthday

    Future messages

    Write a letter or record a video today and choose the birthday it opens on. It stays sealed on the timeline until that day.

  6. Yours to take with you.

    Export the whole archive as a folder of original files whenever you like.

How it works

Three steps, and the first memory is on the timeline within minutes.

  1. Create an archive for someone you love

    Add their name and birthday — a child, a parent, a grandparent, yourself or a pet. The timeline starts from day one, so memories you add later still land in the right place.

  2. Invite the family

    Send an invitation link to the people who should be part of the story. You decide who can add and who can only look.

  3. Add memories as they happen

    Photos, videos, voice notes, milestones and future messages, from any phone. The timeline builds itself.

Private by design

An archive of someone's life is the most personal collection a family will ever build. Storya is built so it stays in the family.

Invitation only
There are no public profiles and nothing to search. A timeline is visible only to the people its owner has invited.
You choose who can add
The archive's owners manage it; family members contribute; anyone can be removed at any time.
No ads, no data sales
Storya is paid for by optional subscriptions, not by your memories. We never sell or share your family's data.
Delete means delete
Deleted memories sit in a bin for 30 days in case you change your mind, then they are permanently removed from our storage. Deleting your account removes everything you own.

Dear Adel,

today you are eighteen. Everything we kept is here: the week you came home, Grandpa laughing when you reached him, the night you decided to become a giraffe.

With all our love, Mum and Dad
