How it works
A few conversations now. Their story forever.
No writing, no effort. If they can talk, they can do this.
Choose what to capture
Pick the topics you've always wanted to hear: their childhood, how they met, the family history you never asked about.
They just talk
Biographer gently interviews them, drawing out stories they may never have told, in their own words and voice.
Keep it forever
Every conversation becomes a written chapter and a recording in their voice, compiled into a book your family keeps for generations.
From our founder
I was lucky my dad did this before he passed.
He talked about his childhood I never knew, his struggles, the moments I made him proud. When he died, I felt like I finally knew him as a whole person, not just as my dad. My family has his stories, and his voice, forever.
The stories you don't capture, you lose, and you rarely realize it until it's too late.

“When he died, I felt like I really knew him as a person, not just as my dad. We have his stories forever.”

Everything you're wondering
My parent isn't tech-savvy. Can they really use it?
Yes. This is exactly who we built it for. If they can talk on the phone or type a little, they can use Biographer. You can set everything up for them, and they simply answer questions in conversation.
What if my parent is reluctant?
Most warm up in the first conversation. Being asked good questions and truly listened to is a lovely experience. Start with light, happy topics, and it grows from there.
What happens to the stories if my parent passes away?
They remain yours, forever. The chapters and the recordings in their own voice stay with your family to revisit, print, and pass down. This is the reason so many families start now.
Is this private and secure?
Yes. Your stories are private and belong to you. We don't sell your data and there are no ads. You can export or delete everything at any time.
Do I get to keep everything?
Always. Every chapter and recording is yours to download, print, or turn into a book, even if you cancel. Your life stories belong to you.
What does it cost?
You can start completely free, no credit card. If you love it and want to keep going, plans start at the price above, and you can cancel anytime.
The time to capture them is now.
Set your mom or dad up in a few minutes, and give your family something no one can ever replace.
