A private Jewish family story archive
Keep your parents' stories, in their own voice.
Sit down together, choose one gentle question, and record a real conversation. Their voice, memories, photographs, and wisdom are saved in a private archive your family can return to for years.
Free to begin. No credit card, no app to install, and no memoir to write.
- Private by default
- Your family owns the recordings
- Easy for parents and grandparents

Bubby Leah’s Stories
12 stories · 34 photographs
This is not another memoir assignment
You keep meaning to ask. They keep meaning to tell you.
Your parents may have shared pieces of these stories at the Shabbos table, during Yom Tov, on family trips, or while looking through old photographs. Told & Treasured gives your family a simple place to begin and a private place to keep what is shared.
- Stories are scattered across conversations, phones, and old photographs.
- Writing an entire memoir feels overwhelming, so it never quite happens.
- Children may know the traditions without knowing the stories behind them.
How it works
Three gentle steps, starting with a conversation, not a questionnaire.
Choose one gentle question
Begin with a person, a photograph, a place, a recipe, a tradition, or a memory. No plan required.
Record the conversation together
Sit together and speak naturally. Pause, continue, and add context at your own pace.
Keep it in your private archive
Preserve the original voice, photographs, people, places, and details. Invite only the relatives you choose.
Stories worth keeping, in their own voice
Every family is different. Begin wherever a story lives, and let one question open the door.

Private, and truly yours
Stated plainly, and matching how the product works.
- Private by default. No public profiles, no feeds, no discovery.
- You control who can listen, view, and contribute.
- The original recording is preserved and never overwritten.
- Download your original recordings whenever you like.
- Delete a story, or your whole account, when you choose.
- Your family owns its recordings and photographs.
- Recordings are not used to train public AI models.
- After a plan ends, your archive becomes read-only, never deleted.
If you cancel, you keep access through the end of your paid year. After that, your archive becomes read-only: you can still play and download every original recording, and nothing is ever deleted.

The things families wonder about
“My mother will never use an app.”
She does not have to figure it out alone. Sit together, choose one question, and press record.
“We already have voice memos.”
Voice memos are easy to lose. Told & Treasured keeps the recording together with its photographs, people, places, date, and story.
“This sounds like a large project.”
One story is enough to begin.
“I do not want this to feel morbid.”
This is about connection now, not only remembrance later.
“Will our stories remain private?”
Your archive is private by default. There are no public profiles or feeds. Recordings are stored privately, only people you invite can listen, and you can download or delete them at any time.
Questions families ask
The stories are still here. Begin with one conversation.
Choose one gentle question, sit down together, and preserve a voice your family will always be grateful to hear.
