No script, no perfect beginning. Open Storynest on your phone and record a memory, by yourself or with someone you love. A few minutes is a lovely place to start.

What happens to the recording?

Storynest keeps your original recording and creates a transcript and summary. It helps identify the people, places and dates mentioned, so stories are easier to find again.

Who can hear our stories?

Your archive is for family members with access. You choose which family receives a recording. A shared story link gives access only to that story.

Where does AI come in?

Storynest uses cloud AI services to transcribe recordings and help organise their details. Your original recording stays at the centre, and you can correct the results.
