Their stories deserve a safe place.
Yorebook records the people you love in their own voice — before time runs out. Anyone with a story worth keeping. A guided iPhone and iPad app that does the work for you.
Coming soon · iOS first · Made for every family with stories worth keeping.
One day, you’ll wish you’d asked.
The hardest part of losing someone isn’t the funeral. It’s the questions you didn’t ask. The stories you didn’t write down. The voice you can no longer hear say your name.
Yorebook gives every family a way to ask now — before it’s too late. A simple iPhone app guides the conversation. Your mom, dad, grandparent, aunt, or uncle just talks. We do everything else: transcribe, organize, ask natural follow-up questions, and compile the answers into a permanent web page and book the whole family can keep forever.
No typing. No homework. Just four minutes at a time, in their own voice.
How it works
1.
Gift or grab the app
Buy Yorebook for the family member whose stories you want kept — or for yourself. They redeem the code in the iPhone app.
2.
They talk
The app reads questions aloud. Mom, Dad, a grandparent, aunt, or uncle just talks back. No typing, no sign-up hoops, no homework.
3.
We do the work
Yorebook transcribes every story, asks natural follow-up questions, and organizes everything into chapters by life stage.
4.
Forever forward
You get a polished book, a private family webpage, plus downloadable audio and video. Pass it down. Hear their voice again.
What makes Yorebook different
A multi‑voice family vault
Most memoir apps record one person. Yorebook captures the whole family. Add Mom, Dad, the kids, aunts, uncles — each contributes their own stories to the same family vault.
Editable recordings, no re‑do
Forgot to mention how Grandma helped pick the ring? Just add it. Yorebook finds the natural pause in the recording and splices the new line in. No starting from scratch.
The lore they want to pass down
Other apps record biography. Yorebook captures teaching: the wisdom, the lessons, the family lore that doesn’t survive a funeral if no one writes it down.
Eighteen ways into a lifetime of stories.
No fixed list of questions to march through. Pick what you want to talk about. Pause. Pick up again later. A few of the pillars:
- The Day I Arrived — “What’s the name they gave you when you arrived?”
- Growing Up — “What did your house smell like when your mom was cooking?”
- The Ones Who Raised Me — “What did your parents do when they were angry?”
- Love & Marriage — “What was the moment you knew?”
- The Lore I’m Passing Down — “What’s one thing you wish every grandchild of yours knew?”
- What Tested Me — “What’s a year you’d never want to relive — and how did you get through it?”
Plus twelve more — including Military Service, Faith, Heritage, and Letters to Open Later.
One gift. One forever.
