For the families who want to preserve a story
Give your loved one a simple way to tell their life story — we take care of the rest.
Just a call, at their own pace, with nothing to install. You receive their memories, gathered, organised, and ready to be passed on.
Built on respect
Recording a parent’s memories starts with respecting the person.
Consent is always theirs
Before the first call, it is your loved one who agrees, directly on the phone. Never on their behalf. That is our way of starting with respect.
Their pace, their pauses, their silences
They can pick up whenever they like, hang up whenever they like, and stop everything at any moment. The companion never rushes. It waits, like a good listener would.
Private, secure, familial
The conversations are visible only to you and to the people you choose through the sharing link. No advertising, no data resold.
And the photos too
Those photos sleeping in a drawer deserve a caption.
Every family has its box of old photos, full of faces no one can name anymore. Without a caption, a photo loses all its meaning within a single generation.
And often it is not only photos: letters, papers and objects pile up too. The companion helps your loved one make sense of them — gently — so you can decide together what is worth keeping and passing on, or letting go of with a clear mind.
Send the photo — by WhatsApp, or through the family sharing link if you are the one who found it. The companion analyzes it, then asks your loved one 2-3 simple questions: who is in it, roughly when, a little story. The answer becomes a caption, kept forever alongside the photo.
And out of respect, it is always your loved one who identifies who is in the photo — never automatic recognition. Their memories, their words, their truth.
Grandma’s photo box
While clearing the attic, Karim finds an old box full of his grandmother’s photos. He sends the most mysterious ones through the family link. On the next call, she comments on them one by one: “This one was the day we arrived in Marseille, in 1962…” Every photo goes back with its story.
A real example
“I wanted to know my grandparents’ story.”
Thomas lives in Lyon. His grandmother, Denise, lives in the south of France. He entered her number on 4Them.Life. A few days later, Denise received a warm phone call.
Over the following weeks, she spoke about her childhood, how she met her husband, and the madeleine recipe the whole family adored. Thomas even submitted a question through the family link: “How did grandma and grandpa meet?”
A few weeks later, he received a clear book, organised by theme, in his grandmother’s own words — and an answer to his question, in her voice.
Beyond the caption
Help your loved one sort, keep and pass on — with meaning.
Many older people have drawers, boxes or attics full of objects, papers and photos. The companion does more than look: it helps your loved one understand what it is, why it matters — and decide together whether it is worth keeping and telling, or letting go of with a peaceful mind.
We sort together
A photo, a letter, an old paper: the companion asks a few simple questions to understand the story. No judgment, no pressure.
We find the meaning before keeping
What matters is not keeping everything. It is knowing why we keep it. The companion helps put words to what has value.
We decide together what is passed on
Every important object or photo leaves with its caption, date and context — ready to be shared with the family when the time is right.
This is not decluttering. It is memory sorted by hand, with gentleness and clarity.
In their personal space
Beyond the book: memories that stay alive.
The PDF book remains the precious object to print and pass on. But in your loved one’s space, two companions extend it — readable anytime, enriched with every new conversation.
My magazine
A story that recompiles itself on demand from everything your loved one has shared, with a warm dashboard — conversations, themes explored, eras revisited — and a true narrative to reread. The book stays the book; the magazine is its living version.
My tree
The people who matter to your loved one, gathered around them, each with the number of memories tied to them. Nothing complicated to fill in: names spotted in the photos are suggested automatically, and a single click adds them.
Frequently asked questions
My relative isn't comfortable with technology, is that a problem?
No. They receive a call or a WhatsApp message and simply answer, as they would to a friend. Nothing to install, nothing to learn.
How long does a conversation last?
10 to 15 minutes on average, at their own pace. They can stop and continue whenever they like.
Who can access the memories?
Your relative, and the people they choose to send a share link to. Nothing is public.
Can I take part as a family member?
Yes: you can suggest questions and add family photos from the share link.
Which languages?
French, English and Arabic, including dialects.
What do we get in the end?
A family book and magazine to download, with photos and a timeline of the big moments. The first issue is free.
Give your family what time will never give back.

How it works
How it works: you start it, they tell it, the family receives their life book.
01
You enter your loved one’s phone number
A landline or a mobile is enough. No account for them to create, no app to install.
02
We call them gently, at their own pace
The companion introduces the project, asks for their consent, and begins a real conversation — one question at a time, with no pressure.
03
You receive the book of their memories
Every conversation is summarised and stored. You can read it again, print it, and share it with the family whenever you wish.
04
You can even suggest the questions
Through the family sharing link, propose the subjects you would love to hear. The companion weaves them naturally into the next conversation.
