A private home for your family's stories
Every family is a library.
Walt asks your family one gentle question a week. Everyone answers in their own words, in their own language — and every Saturday, those memories become a story the whole family reads together.
Your grandmother's stories deserve better than a group chat.
One week with Walt
Why Walt exists
The people who remember are getting older. The people who ask are getting busier.
Every family we know has the same quiet worry. Between school runs in Toronto and Sunday calls to Jaipur, the stories live in fragments — one aunt holds this one, one grandfather holds that one, and nobody has written any of it down.
Walt is our answer: one gentle question a week, answered in whatever language feels like home — a voice note, a video, a photo, a few lines — woven into a story the whole family reads on Saturday. Not a scrapbook you'll fill someday. A conversation that's already happening.
We built Walt for families like ours across Canada, India and the UK — deliberately careful, because families are trusting us with something irreplaceable.
— the Walt team
Speak how you speak
Answer in the language the memory happened in. Walt understands, keeps the original voice, and delivers each week's story to every member in their own language.
What Walt does with a memory
Weekly family stories
Not a feed. One story a week, written from what your family actually said, in every language your family reads.
Ask Walt anything
"Who used to make the pista barfi before Diwali?" Walt answers from your family's own memories. And when nobody has told that story yet, Walt asks the one person who lived it.
A living family tree
Every person, place, dish and tradition your family mentions finds its place — connected, searchable, and growing every week.
Made for grandparents
Big buttons, seven languages, and nothing to install from an app store. If they can answer the phone, they can answer Walt.
Yours, and only yours
Your family's memories are stored primarily in Canada, private to your family. Nobody else can see them — not other families, not advertisers.
No facial recognition, ever. Photo suggestions come from context, never from scanning faces.
Your stories are never used to train AI models and never sold. AI processes your words only to serve your family.
Export everything or delete everything, any time. It's your library.
Questions families ask us
Who can see what our family shares?+
Only your family. Each family's space is private and isolated — there is no public feed, no discovery, no cross-family anything. The Family Historian decides who's invited.
My parents aren't 'app people.' Will this work for them?+
If they can answer a WhatsApp voice note, they can use Walt. There's no app store — Walt opens in the browser and installs to the home screen. Big type, big buttons, voice-first, and questions arrive in their language on their schedule.
Which languages does Walt speak?+
English, French, Hindi, Gujarati and Punjabi today. A grandmother can answer in Hindi and a grandson can read the same story in English — the original recording is always kept.
Is our family's data used to train AI?+
No — never for training, never sold, never used for advertising. Your archive's primary storage is in Canada, and Walt never uses facial recognition. The privacy page has the complete picture, including every vendor we work with.
What does Walt cost?+
One membership covers the whole family — every generation, every country — for $199 a year, and every family starts with 60 days free.
What if we want to leave?+
You take everything with you: a full export of your stories, recordings and photos. We delete your family's data within 30 days. The archive is yours, not ours.
