Everlasting Family
Independent, private and built for every kind of family
There are stories only your parents can tell —
and only for so long.
Because I worked in video, I did it the hard way with what I had — the cameras, the gear, the setup. It mattered enough to bother. But it was a bother. Everlasting Family is what I built so you won’t need any of that — just your phone, and the hour it takes to ask.
Share your family’s complete history with anyone, free.
The Everlasting Family Viewer is free to download.
You know those stories
The ones your mum tells at Thanksgiving — the ones that make everyone laugh, or cry, or lean in a little closer. The ones your dad starts with “I’ve never told anyone this.” The ones that only exist because someone thought to ask.
Everlasting Family helps you capture them properly. Not just a video buried in your camera roll, but a guided, organised, shareable family history that will mean everything to the people who come after you.
Record
Sit down with someone you love and let Everlasting Family guide the conversation. Fifty carefully crafted questions prompt the stories that matter — childhood memories, defining moments, the life only they can tell.
Organise
Every interview is automatically transcribed and stored in a searchable archive. Add multiple family members and build out your family’s history one conversation at a time.
Share
Send a complete family history to anyone — whether they have the app or not. Recipients download the free Everlasting Family Viewer and can watch, read, and search every interview on their own device, any time.
Already have recordings?
Everlasting Family can import videos you’ve already captured — phone recordings, old interviews, footage taken years ago.
Tag them, organise them, and bring them into a complete family history alongside everything you record from here on.
For many families, the most precious interviews have already been recorded — with people who are no longer here to sit down again. Everlasting Family gives those recordings the permanent, searchable home they deserve.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don’t.
- Guided interviews – 50 questions that unlock real stories, not just dates and facts
- Every subject covered – easily add a question during a live interview or while tagging an imported one
- Import existing videos — bring in recordings you’ve already made, including footage of loved ones who have passed
- Automatic transcription — every word searchable, nothing lost
- Multi-person histories — build a complete picture of your whole family
- Free sharing — share a complete history as a single file; recipients use the free Viewer app
- One price, forever — no subscription, no ongoing fees, no strings
Relive their stories, together
Everlasting Family isn’t just for recording — it’s for watching, revisiting, and sharing.
Select any combination of family members and choose a question, and the app weaves their answers together into a shared viewing experience.
Watch your grandmother and your father answer the same question, one after another. Discover where their stories overlap, where they diverge, and what each of them chose to say.
It’s a way of bringing your family together that no photo album or home video ever quite managed.
Why Everlasting Family?
Their real voice
What you record and keep is the real thing — their face, their voice, every word exactly as they said it, never rewritten into a tidy summary. Fifty questions worth asking draw out the stories that matter, and you can bring in recordings you already have — even of people no longer here to sit down again.
Private & yours
Everything stays on your own device — never uploaded to our servers or anyone else’s. And it’s yours outright: $34.99 once, no subscription, no ongoing fees, nothing held hostage. A single family history you own, grow, and share only with the people you choose. No religious affiliation, no institutional agenda, no assumptions about your family.
Anyone can do it
No crew, no cost, no expertise — just the phone already in your pocket. Everlasting Family guides the conversation, records, and transcribes every word right on the device. When you’re ready, your whole family opens the complete, searchable history in a free app.
The best time to start is now!
The stories are still here. So is the person telling them. All it takes is an hour and the phone in your pocket.
