Your memory of an event is only one version of it. The people who were there — or who knew the person you're writing about — hold pieces you don't. LifeChapter is built for all of them.
Friends remember things you've forgotten. Family members see moments differently. When you invite people to contribute to your timeline, you get a fuller, truer picture of your own life — not just the version you held onto.

Linda wrote about the day you were born — from her perspective
When someone passes, the people who loved them each hold a fragment of who they were. One person has letters. Another has a story about a Sunday afternoon nobody else witnessed. LifeChapter brings those fragments together into something that can outlast all of them.
“We started with six photos and one journal entry. After inviting his brothers and kids, his timeline grew to 84 memories. He's more alive in there than he ever was in any photo album.”

Why we built this
“My father passed five years ago. His grandchildren will never sit across from him, never hear his voice, never ask him what his life was like. The only way they'll know him is through what we build now. That's why LifeChapter exists — to turn the memories we carry into something that can be passed down for generations, not lost after one or two.”
John
Co-Founder, LifeChapter
“As a mom who has always found it hard to organize thoughts, track all of life's events, and loves to reminisce — I know how much gets lost in the rush of daily life. Reflecting on your days — the good ones and the hard ones — keeps you grounded. LifeChapter is both of those things: a place to live more intentionally, and a place to leave something that lasts.”

Every feature unlocked. Everything you build stays yours. Choose a plan when you're ready.
What's included in every plan
★ Sharing and collaboration are always fully unlocked — on every plan, including the trial. Every invite is free.
Your LifeChapter stays intact and can be passed on to family members you designate. Your story doesn't disappear — it becomes something the people you love can visit, add to, and share with generations who never got to meet you. This is exactly what LifeChapter was built for.
Nothing disappears. If your subscription lapses, your account moves to read-only mode — everything you've built is preserved, you just can't add new entries until you resubscribe. We'll never delete your data without warning you first.
Yes — always. You can export your full timeline, journal entries, and media at any time, including during your free trial and even if your subscription lapses. Your story belongs to you, not us. We also offer a Memoir feature that turns your timeline into a beautifully written narrative you can save or share.
Completely. We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and we never train AI on your personal content. Everything is private by default — you choose exactly what to share, with whom, and for how long.
Only if you invite them. On the Family plan, each member gets their own completely private account. You can also selectively share specific entries or memories with anyone — even people who don't have a LifeChapter account.
Yes. You can add a child as a sub-timeline under your account — tagging memories, milestones, and photos to their story as they grow. When they're ready, you can hand it over to them as their own private LifeChapter account, with everything already there. They take full control from that point. It's their story — you're just the one who started writing it for them.
Both. You can start capturing life right now, and you can go back as far as you want — adding old photos, memories, and stories from years or decades ago. Many people use LifeChapter to rebuild a timeline of someone who has already passed.
