Answer a few questions. Speak naturally. Watch your life story take shape.
You don't need to be a writer. The app does the structuring, so you can focus on remembering.
Guided prompts walk you through the chapters of your life — childhood, family, work, love, and lessons learned — so you always know what to say next.
Tap the voice button and talk. The app transcribes your natural words into a written entry, so your story is captured the way you actually tell it.
Attach a photo to any memory and it stays anchored to the moment — the place, the people, the feeling, all preserved in context.
Your answers flow into a chronological timeline that auto-sorts into chapters, so the book takes shape as you go — not all at the end.
Curated prompts uncover the small, specific memories — the smells, sounds, and details — that turn a life into a story worth keeping.
When you're ready, export an organized file, an edited keepsake book, or a printed book delivered to your door.
From your first answer to a book on your shelf — in four simple steps.
1. Answer the questions. Lifestream guides you through your life one chapter at a time. You can type your answers or speak them — the app transcribes your voice to text.
2. Add your memories. Drop in photos, dates, and details whenever they come to mind. Nothing is wasted, and nothing has to be in order.
3. Watch it organize itself. Your answers become entries on a timeline that sorts into chapters by date and theme — a real structure, built for you.
4. Choose your book. Self-export the organized file, turn it into a book-format PDF with the Draft Autobiography, or order a printed, bound book with the Full-Service Book.

“My dad was pretty strict when I was growing up, but he taught me that if you give your word, you keep it. So that stuck with me.”
“My father was a man of quiet discipline, but beneath his strictness lived a single lesson that stayed with me my whole life: a person's word is one of the few things that truly cannot be taken back.”
That's the whole idea — no writing, no drafting, no editing from scratch. Just a life, told naturally, and turned into a story your family will keep.
You already know your story. The app removes the one step that keeps most people from starting.
There's no blank page to fear — only questions to answer, in your own words, at your own pace.
Because you speak it yourself, the finished story sounds like you, not like a template.
Every answer, photo, and reflection is saved locally on your device, ready to become a book.
No install or account. Open the web app, answer one question, and you've begun.
The practical answers, before you start.
No. You answer guided questions about your life — by typing or by speaking naturally, which the app transcribes. Your casual answers become an organized, beautifully written life story.
