Storyworth in short
One question a week by email for one storyteller, ending in a hardcover book. It's the longest-running product in this category and a good fit for parents who like to write.
Remento in short
Built around speaking. The storyteller records answers and Remento turns them into written chapters, with QR codes in the printed book that play the recordings.
Go Family Story in short
Built for a gift from several people. You and your siblings each answer questions about your mum or dad — what you remember, what they taught you — while they answer questions about their own life. Everything comes together in one private space and one book.
Go Family Story's Keepsake Gift is $59, paid once. It opens one private story space for a full year, with 100 questions written for that exact relationship and another 100 whenever you ask (up to 1,000), free for every brother, sister and friend who joins. Answers become a book you can read, print or save as a PDF.
