What is Mylyfe?
A warm, guided interviewer asks you questions about your life. Speak your answers out loud or type them — whatever feels easiest.
Your answers are turned into beautifully written, flowing prose — like a proper memoir, in your own words.
Download it, print it, share it. A piece of your life story that never has to be lost.
Your grandparent has stories they have never told you. We help you capture them before they are gone forever.
Your grandmother remembers things about the war, about her parents, about falling in love, that she has never told anyone. Not because she would not share them — but because nobody ever asked.
We all believe there will be more time. To ask the questions. To capture the stories. To write them down properly. And then one day there is not. Mylyfe exists for before that day.
A photograph shows a face. The way someone tells a story — their phrases, their humour, the details only they remember — is what makes it theirs. Mylyfe keeps their words, not a summary of them.
Most people do not know where to start. Our guided interviewer knows exactly which questions open doors — and which threads to follow when a story begins to unfold.
Most of us think we know our family's story. We usually only know the outline.
"Do you know how your parents actually met?"
"What was the bravest thing your dad ever did?"
"What was your mum most afraid of at 25?"
"What did your childhood home actually smell like?"
If you can't answer these, that's exactly the gap Mylyfe closes.

Enter a name and Chapter One begins, free with no card needed. A warm interviewer asks the questions, and you simply speak or type your answers, like chatting over a cup of tea.
After each chapter, look back over your answers and add anything you wish you'd said. Mylyfe then writes it all up as a flowing, written memoir, using your own words and your way of telling it.
Download your memoir any time, share it with family by email, or print it at home. It's all digital, so there's no book to wait for in the post. Your story is ready the moment each chapter is done.
The first chapter is completely free, with no card required. The interviewer asks about childhood, family home, parents and earliest memories. A gentle, warm beginning to the story.
After your free Home chapter, unlock Love, Work, Family, and Wisdom — one at a time or all together. Each chapter builds on the last, and a beautiful memoir is written after every one.
Where they grew up, their family home, earliest memories and what childhood felt like
Relationships, meeting their partner, what love has meant throughout their life
Career and working life, what they built, the people they worked alongside
Their children and grandchildren, the moments they treasure most as a parent
What life has taught them, what they'd tell their younger self, their legacy

After every chapter, Mylyfe writes your answers into beautiful flowing prose — like a real memoir. The more chapters you complete, the richer your story becomes. Download it at any time.
Every chapter can be gifted — perfect for Christmas, birthdays, or Mother's Day. Give it as a gift →
A warm, guided interviewer asks thoughtful questions about every chapter of their life. They just speak — no typing, no forms, no technology to figure out. The questions follow the conversation naturally, just like talking to a friend.
After every chapter, Mylyfe takes everything they said and writes it as beautiful flowing prose — warm, literary, true to how they tell it. Not a transcript. A real memoir. Growing richer with every chapter they complete.
Before each chapter is written, they see every question and answer and can add anything they wish they had said. The moment people see their story developing, they always want to elaborate. This is that moment.
Saved, downloadable, and easy to share. Read it once or read it every year — the words don't change, but what they mean to you might.
The full transcript and the complete memoir are downloadable at any time. Copy it, share it by email, print it at home. It belongs to your family — not to us.
Life is busy. Save your session with an email and a code. Come back a day later, a week later, whenever feels right. The story waits exactly where you left it.
Most people spend their lives meaning to ask their grandparents, their parents, their aunts and uncles — about the details. The real details. Where they grew up. What the world looked like through their eyes. What they know that the rest of us do not.
Mylyfe is the gift that captures all of it — before the chance is gone. Buy it as a gift for Christmas, a birthday, Mother's Day, or just because you know the time is now.

The people who get the most from Mylyfe are the ones who treat it like a conversation with an old friend. Here is how to make yours unforgettable.
Don't worry about grammar or finding the perfect word. If you'd say it over a cup of tea, say it here. The natural way you speak is exactly what makes your story real.
Never feel you have said enough. The moment you think you've finished answering — go a little further. What did it smell like? Who else was there? What happened next? Those details are the story.
Pause as long as you need before answering. Sit with the memory. The interviewer will wait. Some of the most beautiful answers come after a long, quiet moment of remembering.
Not just what happened — but how it felt. Were you nervous? Proud? Heartbroken? Surprised? The feelings are what your family will connect with most deeply, long after the facts have blurred.
Pick a time when the house is peaceful and you won't be interrupted. Make a cup of tea. Sit somewhere comfortable. The best sessions feel like quiet reflection — not a task to be completed.
Before you begin, spend ten minutes looking through old photos or letters. Memory works by association — one image unlocks a dozen stories. You'll be amazed what comes back to you.
The small things are often the most treasured. The smell of a grandmother's kitchen. The sound of your father's laugh. The view from your childhood bedroom. These details, shared now, become priceless later.
After each chapter, you'll have one chance to review your answers and add anything you wish you had said. Use it. People almost always think of something important the moment the question is over.
Stop buying things that get forgotten. Give your mum, dad, or grandparent something that lasts forever — their own story, in their own words, beautifully written.

Not at all. The session is completely voice-based — they tap one large button to speak and the interviewer does everything else. If they can make a phone call, they can use Mylyfe. We also provide a simple printed setup guide you can share with them.
Any computer, tablet, or smartphone with a web browser. They can speak their answers using the microphone or simply type — whichever feels most comfortable. No app or download is needed.
A warm, guided interviewer leads the conversation by voice or text — asking the questions that open doors, following interesting threads, gently prompting deeper memories, and moving naturally through each of the five chapters.
The full five-chapter story takes around an hour at the person's own pace, though Chapter 1 alone takes just 15–25 minutes. There is no rush, and the session saves automatically — they can pause and pick up exactly where they left off, whenever suits them.
There is a Skip button on the screen at all times. No topic is compulsory. The interviewer is warm and respectful — if the person seems reluctant, it moves gently on. This is their story to tell in the way they choose.
Yes. Spoken answers are turned into text as you talk, and no audio recording is kept. Your answers and written story are sent only to you, plus a backup copy to our support inbox so nothing is ever lost. We never share or sell them. This is deeply personal, and we treat it that way.
Yes — your memoir and transcript are downloadable at any point during or after your session. You can copy the text, save it as a file, share it by email, or print it at any copy shop. It belongs entirely to you and your family.
Every week that passes is a week of stories that could be lost. It takes less than ten minutes to set up a session. The conversation does the rest.
