Someday the phone stops ringing. This is how your family keeps talking with you anyway — your face, your voice, and the stories everyone who loved you helped tell.
A short video on your phone for the face. Then just talk — call in from any phone, even a landline, whenever a story comes to mind. Real questions, real follow-ups, spread over months.
Your brother’s version of the story you always told wrong. The photo from 1987 with the memory attached. Every contribution stays labelled with who remembered it.
Your face, your voice, your way of putting things. Not a highlight reel. A version of you that can hold a conversation.
A birthday message in your voice. Advice on a bad day. A “thinking of you” on a random Tuesday. You show up, even when you can’t.
Words from the Founder
How It Works
No studio, no script, no tech skills. And no one person carrying the whole thing — because nobody remembers themselves completely, and we don’t ask you to.
A short video on your phone for your face. Then call in whenever you feel like it, from any phone, and answer real questions in your own words. From the couch is fine. From the car works too.
Invite the people who know you. They call in or log on and add their stories and photos of you, each one labelled with who remembered it.
They see your face. They hear your voice. They ask you things and get answers that sound like you — ready for the questions nobody thought to record.
Not a recording ··✦ a conversation.
The Difference
People curate. Nobody narrates the parts where they were wrong, or difficult, or unintentionally hilarious. You would never say you were the funniest person in any room you walked into. Your sister would say it in a heartbeat. So we let the whole family build it with you — and because every contribution is attributed, your family always knows whose memory they’re hearing.
“I met your mother at a wedding I wasn’t invited to.”
“He was invited. He just won’t admit he stood outside for an hour working up the nerve.”
“He sang the whole way home. Badly. We have never let him forget it.”
Short on time? You don’t have to do it alone. Your family can start adding their stories about you right away, and you add yours whenever you choose.
Afterwards
Most services store what you recorded and go quiet. The stories sit in an archive until someone goes looking. Here, they arrive on their own — on a birthday, on a hard day, on no particular day at all.
Messages you wrote in advance, delivered on a birthday, an anniversary, a first day of school — or on no occasion at all, which is usually the one that lands hardest.
Every few days someone in the family receives a story in their inbox, drawn from the interviews. No two people get the same one. It arrives without being asked for.
The first thing your family hears when they call for the very first time. Written by you, for the moment you knew was coming.
Written once, sealed, and released by email only when it’s time. The thing that was too hard to say out loud.
Photographs with the story attached to each one — from you and those you chose to contribute. Somewhere for the family to go together.
A quiet check-in for the people left behind, in the weeks when everyone else has gone back to their own lives.
When It All Comes Together
While you’re here, your family can’t see it. Nothing opens until the person you chose says it’s time — and not a minute before.
One trusted person, named in advance, with a named backup. Until that person acts, nothing is reachable by anyone.
When the time comes they sign in, verify who they are, and turn the key. Nobody else can — not another relative, not us.
Everyone you chose receives a personal invitation and their own private line. What your daughter says stays between her and you.
You stay in complete control — while you’re here, and in how you’re remembered when you’re not.
Plainly
This is a serious thing to offer people in the hardest year of their lives. So here is the honest version.
A recording answers the questions you already thought to ask. This answers the ones you didn’t — built from months of how you actually speak.
It never claims to be you, and it will say so if your family asks. It carries what you said and the way you said it. That is real — and it is not a person.
Nobody here believes technology fixes loss. Some families call every day for a month and then hardly at all. That is a good outcome.
Your account is never deleted after you pass. If your plan lapses while you’re here, everything moves to cold storage and comes back intact when you renew.
Your Data
Here’s the plain version: your stories stay yours. The companies behind the voice, the transcription and the conversation are each barred, in writing, from using anything in your account to teach their own AI. We’re finalizing the same in writing for the face, and we’ll say so here once it’s signed.
Every company we work with is named in our Privacy Policy.

Questions
For the stories, no. A landline is enough. You call our number from any phone, and everything happens on an ordinary call. This is deliberate — the people with the most worth recording are often the least comfortable with apps. The face needs one short recording made on any smartphone — a son or daughter can hold the phone.
Yes. Legacy includes both: your Presence — a living video likeness your family can see and talk with from a phone or computer — and a phone number they can call to hear your voice when they’d rather not look at a screen. Same stories, same private lines, whichever way they reach you.
Then start with the contributors. The people who love you can begin building immediately, while you add your own stories whenever you choose. A short interview plus a family’s memories is worth far more than an empty account.
Only the people you named, and only after your chosen Activator confirms. Each person gets their own private line — what one family member says isn’t visible to the others.
Yes. Month to month is $29.99 a month plus a one-time $100 setup fee, which covers building your face and is non-refundable. Paying yearly is $299 with the setup fee waived — over $160 less the first year and about $60 less every year after. Stories get recorded over months, so most people choose the year.
Nothing is deleted. The account rests in cold storage — kept safe, just paused — and comes back exactly as you left it the moment you renew the year. No reinstatement fee, no deadline. We will never delete the account of someone who has passed — that promise is the whole business.
We think about this more than anything else we build. A Presence isn’t there to replace grief, or to keep someone from moving through it. It’s there for the moments people have anyway: the question they never got to ask, the birthday nobody knows how to spend, the day the house is quiet. Most families use it in a wave — often at first, and then now and then — and we built it to be exactly that. It is not therapy, and anyone who is struggling deserves real people around them. What it offers is smaller and simpler: you can still hear them.
