Tell the story behind old photos and videos
Think about a documentary. They play an old clip, then someone says, "Here's what was really happening." You can do the same thing.
The file shows the moment. You tell the story behind it.
Would you write a book about your life?
Probably.
You just need more time.
Writing your whole life down sounds like a lot of work. And that's because it is.
AfterLyfe makes recording your life story as easy as answering one question at a time.
What brings you to AfterLyfe?
Just curious what brought you here so I can be most helpful.

of Americans say it is important for future generations to be able to access and learn about their life and memories.
Imagine simply telling your life story.
No spelling, grammar, punctuation and all that jazz.
Just talking about some of your favorite moments, people you miss, things you've learned, and stories you completely forgot about.
But where would you start?!
That's where we come in.
ANYONE
can do that.
You do not have to figure out your whole life story. Just start with one thing.
01
Record a memory
02
Add an old photo or video and explain what's happening
03
Let your family ask you questions
Huge question
"Tell me your life story."
Much easier
"What was your first job?"
That first job might remind you of your first car. Then the person you used to ride around with. Then the summer you met your wife.
One memory brings back another.

Other ways to use AfterLyfe
AfterLyfe is more than memory questions. It's a space for every story, every memory, and every moment that matters.
Use AfterLyfe like a video journal
Had a good day? Talk about it. Need to rant? Go for it. Your life story is still happening.
Talk about family history
How much do you remember about your grandparents? What about their parents? Where did your family come from? Why did they move?
Make sure your grandkids know you better than you knew your grandparents.
Let your family ask questions
You will never think of every story worth recording. Your family may ask something you have not thought about in years.
Record videos for your funeral and loved ones
You can record videos that can be played at your funeral and other vids that will be sent to family and friends.
Rich people shouldn't be the only ones able to do this.
Save and share important files
Photos, documents, letters, recipes, audio recordings. Keep the important things safe and easy for your family to find.
Your stories. Your way. Yours to keep.

Founder's story
Why I built AfterLyfe
I started thinking about what my family would really have from me if something happened.
Sure, they would have pictures. Videos. Things I owned. But would they know why I made certain choices? What shaped me? What I learned? What I would want them to understand about life?
Why wait until someone is gone to wish we asked more questions?
That is why I built AfterLyfe. To help people tell more of those stories now.
