Family Museum: Story Archive

There's a moment, usually in a kitchen, when someone starts a story with "you probably don't remember this, but…" and you realize you're the last person who might.

Family Museum is for that moment.

Voice memoir meets family tree. Tap record. Let them talk. We'll transcribe their words in real time, right on your iPhone — no uploads, no cloud — so you can watch the sentences appear as they speak. When they stop, we help you label who spoke which line, extract the people and places they mentioned, and file the whole story into an archive shaped like a family tree.

A family tree of voices, not just names and dates.

What it does

— Records any length, pauses when they pause, survives a phone lock — Transcribes on-device with Apple Speech, then upgrades to speaker-labeled transcripts automatically — Builds a real family tree — by generation, by year, by person — as you add the people in each story — Ask the archive anything in plain English ("what stories happen in the kitchen?") and get answers with citations back to specific recordings — Stories sync privately across your devices via iCloud. Share a family archive with relatives by name, not email.

Who it's for

— Anyone with an elder whose voice they don't want to forget — Families spread across homes who want one shared oral history — People who write their parents' stories on napkins at dinner and lose them by Tuesday — Anyone building a family tree who wishes the boxes had voices, not just dates

Privacy

Your family's stories live on your iPhone and your iCloud. We do not store your audio on our servers. Transcription runs on-device. Sharing with relatives uses Apple's encrypted CloudKit sharing — no Family Museum servers in the middle. Our website and support pages: familymuseum.co.
