Family Stories

Your family's stories are worth more than a social media post.

Record them. Annotate them. Keep them forever.

How It Works

1

Ask

A young family member taps "Ask an Elder" and records a question.

2

Answer

The elder gets notified and records their answer - in their own voice.

3

Annotate

Other family members chime in - voice notes, photos, corrections - anchored to specific moments.

4

Archive

Grove compiles the entire thread into one video, permanently archived.

Timestamped Annotations

Family members add context at the exact moment in the recording where it matters.

She's being modest. Your great-granddad didn't just sing in the choir - he BUILT that choir.

Connected to the Family Tree

Each story is linked to a person on the Branch Map. When you view your great-grandfather's node, you see every story told about him. "3 stories about Charles Williams" - tap to listen.

One Compiled Video

Individual voice messages live in the app for instant playback. When the thread is complete, Grove stitches everything into a single compiled video - title cards for each speaker, photos as still frames, corrections as subtitle overlays - and archives it on your family's permanent storage. One URL. Shareable forever.
