"The best gift I ever gave my dad"
Each week, Storyworth sends Dad a question by text or email. He writes or tells his story over the phone. Your family can read along all year, discovering stories you've never heard. A year later, every memory and photo he shares comes back as a beautiful hardcover book — told in his own words, kept for good.

Stories are private, encrypted, and owned by you
Storyworth emails your loved one one thoughtful question per week — things like "What was your first job?" or "What did you love most about where you grew up?" They reply by email in their own words, and their answers are privately saved. After a year, we compile every response into a beautifully printed hardcover book that your family keeps forever.
