We Were Your Age

Every life has a story worth sharing.

We Were Your Age is a safe, meaningful space where older generations can preserve their memories and pass down wisdom to the people who matter most — children, grandchildren, family, and friends.

Whether you lived through a historic moment, overcame incredible odds, or simply want to share what life was like "when I was your age," this app makes it easy to tell your story with photos, videos, and voice recordings.

TELL YOUR STORY, YOUR WAY Create posts using photos from your library, record new videos with the built-in camera, or capture your memories in your own voice with audio recordings. Add a written caption or use speech-to-text to dictate it — whatever feels natural.

STORYTELLER OR LISTENER — YOU CHOOSE Set your profile as a Storyteller if you love sharing, or a Listener if you prefer to follow along and enjoy the stories of others. Either way, you're part of the community.

CONNECT WITH LOVED ONES Follow family and friends to see their stories in your feed. Like, comment on, and bookmark the posts that mean the most to you. Keep your account private so only approved followers can see your stories, or share openly with the community.

BUILT FOR SIMPLICITY AND SAFETY We Were Your Age is designed with ease of use in mind. Large, clear navigation. Simple sign-up with phone or email. Optional Face ID login so you never have to remember a password. Your privacy is our priority — you control who sees your content.

A DIGITAL TIME CAPSULE The stories you share today become treasures for generations to come. Preserve your family's history, celebrate your heritage, and leave a lasting legacy — all from your iPhone or iPad.

We Were Your Age is created by a nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging generational gaps and ensuring that every story, memory, and life lesson is preserved and shared.
