How a Life Vitae comes to be
Designed for people who'd rather tell a story than fill out a form.
Choose the shape of the story
Pick a template — the full Classic Life Vitae, a wisdom-forward arrangement, a fast Short & Sweet, or a Memorial for someone who has passed. Templates are starting points; every part can be added, removed, or reordered.
Answer one warm question at a time
No forms, no questionnaires. The interview asks a single question — "What do you remember about the home you grew up in?" — and you talk or type. Gentle follow-ups go deeper when you want. Skip anything. Stop anytime; everything saves.
Speak it, and it becomes writing
Recordings are kept in your actual voice and transcribed. Then, only with the level of help you choose: polished prose drafted for you, a light tidy that keeps your phrasing, or no touch at all. Every AI-assisted draft is labeled and waits for your approval — nothing is ever published without it.
Family fills in the edges
Invite children, friends, and old colleagues with a link. They add photos, memories, and testimony as suggestions — you approve what belongs. The story gets fuller without leaving your control.
Share it when it's ready
Everything is private by default, and building is always free — including a downloadable keepsake file that works in any browser, forever. When you're ready for more, one purchase publishes a living, hosted page at your own address and unlocks the private family link anyone can open, no accounts needed.
Let it outlast the drawer
Order a printed keepsake or a QR card that links the physical world — a frame, a memorial, a gift — to the living page. And if you choose, list it in Discover, where the wisdom of ordinary lives becomes findable.
