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. Every Saturday, those memories become a story the whole family reads together.

Your family's stories deserve better than a group chat.

How Walt works

Sunday: a question arrives

One thoughtful prompt, chosen for your family. "What did your childhood kitchen smell like on Sunday mornings?"

Everyone answers their own way

A voice note from a grandmother. A photo from a cousin abroad. A few written lines from a busy parent.

Saturday: the story arrives

Walt weaves every answer into one warm story, told in your family's real words, with the original voices inside it.

Saturday's story

The Kitchens That Raised Us

This week, five members of the family closed their eyes and went home. For some, home was a farmhouse kitchen where bread rose by the stove on winter mornings…

“Some houses are gone now, but every one of them is still cooking.”

Then ask Walt anything

As your library builds, ask Walt to relive your family's stories. Walt answers with your family's own memories, in the voices of the people who lived them. When nobody has told a story yet, Walt knows who to ask.

Ask Walt

Who used to bake the birthday cakes?
Leo remembers that his grandmother Anna baked one the night before every birthday, and his job was to guard the icing from his sister. You can hear Anna tell it herself:
In Anna's voice
I don't have the story of how Grandma and Grandpa met yet. Want me to ask her?
Yes, ask her

What else does Walt do?

The dishes your family loves, written down at last, with the stories and voices that belong to them.

Plan family gatherings

Coming soon

One place to plan the next birthday, reunion or holiday, with the whole family in the loop.

Share additional memories

The weekly question is just the start. Add a photo, a voice note or a story whenever a memory comes to mind.

Built for the family: one user pays, all family members included.

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.

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 the school run and the Sunday phone call home, 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, as a voice note, a video, a photo or a few written lines, then 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, spread across cities, countries and time zones. We built it deliberately and carefully, because families are trusting us with something irreplaceable.

The Walt team

Yours, and only yours

Your family's data is stored primarily in Canada, private to your family. Nobody else can see it: 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.

Your family's library belongs to your family. Delete anything, or everything, whenever you choose.

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 is no app store to fight with: 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: $199 a year, and every family starts with 60 days free.
