Keep the stories only your family can tell.
The people who remember the most are usually the least likely to write any of it down. Kintrove lets them talk instead. Their recordings come back as written stories you can read, share, and print.
Built for a grandparent with an iPad, not for people who enjoy software.
Kintrove is in private testing
A few families are using it now. Leave your email and I will write when there is room for another.
How it works
- 1
Invite
Send a link or read a code over the phone. There is no app to install and nothing for them to sign up for.
- 2
Record
They talk. They can pause, stop, and come back later. Fifteen minutes at a sitting is plenty.
- 3
Read
Every recording comes back as a written story. You approve the ones worth keeping and they go into your Trove.
What you get
A Trove, not a folder of audio files
One collection per family, reunion, or tribute. Everything in it is written down and readable.
Their voice, in their words
Recordings are transcribed and shaped into stories that still sound like the person who told them.
A PDF you can print
Export the whole Trove as a book you can hand to someone who will never open a website.
Private unless you share it
Nothing is public. Only people you give the link to can read what is inside.
Why I built this
I started Kintrove for my own parents. Both of them have stories I have heard a hundred times and never once recorded, and the window for asking is not open forever. Every tool I found wanted them to make an account, learn an interface, and type. None of that was going to happen.
So Kintrove asks one thing of the person telling the story: talk. Everything after that is my problem, not theirs.
Get on the list
Kintrove opens to more families as it is ready. No charge while it is in testing.
