Family Diary: Voice Journal
Record your family's memories before they're gone
A kind companion asks Mom or Dad one gentle question a day. They just talk, and their words become a beautiful life story the whole family can read and hear, forever.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Family Diary after realizing something uncomfortable: I knew my grandmother’s apple cake, but not how she met my grandfather. All those stories lived only in her head — and every family is one generation away from losing them.
The problem with existing options is that they ask older people to write. Storyworth-style services send email prompts and expect typed (or dictated-then-edited) answers, and they end after a year with a book. That’s a project. Most projects stall.
Family Diary works differently:
🎙️ They just talk. Every day, the app asks one warm question out loud — “What was your street like when you were ten?” — and your parent or grandparent answers by voice. No typing, no tech skills. Speech recognition runs on-device, so their voice never leaves the phone.
📖 AI turns talk into a story. Their spoken words become clean, organized chapters of a life story — in their words, not a robot’s summary.
👨👩👧👦 The whole family reads along. Everyone joins free with a QR code or 6-digit family code, in the app or at familydiary.ai. Grandkids can send questions back — “Grandma, tell the one about the motorcycle” — which keeps the stories coming.
♾️ It’s a living diary, not a one-shot book. It doesn’t end after 52 prompts. It grows as long as they have stories to tell.
A few honest details: it’s $6.99/month after a 7-day free trial, and one subscription covers the entire family — everyone else reads free. There’s also a gift-a-year option, because let’s be real: most of us are setting this up for our parents. It’s designed obsessively for older users — large type, one action per screen, warm themes, zero clutter.
I’d love your feedback, especially from anyone who’s tried to capture a parent’s stories before — what worked, what stalled? And if you try it with your family this week, I’ll be here all day answering questions.
The best time to start was twenty years ago. The second best time is today. 💛
