Give the Gift of Their Stories

Something they can't buy and won't forget: their own life story, captured. A Living Memoir turns gentle phone calls into a printed heirloom book and a digital memoir your family keeps — for a parent, a grandparent, anyone whose stories your family would love to keep. No app or writing required of them.

A milestone birthday calls for a milestone gift. Capturing the storyteller's life — in their own voice, into a book the family will hold — marks the occasion in a way flowers or a dinner can't.

They don't need to be. LifeLoom calls work on any phone — no apps to download, no accounts to set up. We guide them through everything, step by step. Many of our storytellers are in their 80s and 90s, and they love it.

Their stories are kept by your family in a digital memoir for as long as you keep it, and one hardcover memoir book that ships within Australia is included. If they have more stories to tell, 5-call packs are available anytime.

That's completely okay. Some people need a little time to warm up to the idea. We find that once they complete the first call, most storytellers can't wait for the next one. The gift doesn't expire for 12 months, so there's no rush.

Absolutely. The whole family can be invited to join in - suggesting topics, adding photos, and listening to the stories as they're captured. It often becomes a beautiful family project.

Yes. Many families use LifeLoom to capture the stories of a surviving partner after a loss. It gives them a meaningful way to honour their loved one's memory and keep the shared history. Our team handles these conversations with particular care and sensitivity.

Our facilitated calls are designed to draw out stories people don't think to tell — childhood memories, turning points, the small moments that shaped a life. We handle the recording, the transcription, the editing, and the safekeeping. You get a polished digital memoir and book, not a folder of audio files.
