Stories and Photos
🌐 Also available in: Deutsch · Español · Français · Nederlands · 简体中文
Ways to tell your family's story: generated life stories, a family blog, and photos you can compare and tag.
For any person or family, the app puts together a narrative slideshow of their lives: their events, the places they happened, and any related photos, with a short written description for each moment. These are editable, not fixed.
Generating a story offers a couple of options first:
- For a person: whether to pull in their families too (spouse, children, parents, siblings), not just their own events.
- For a family: which members' own births and deaths to include.
Write your own posts, with a title, author, free-text body and photos.
The Blog view in the sidebar lists every post as a browsable, magazine-style feed. Click View to see one full-screen. The newest post also shows up on Home.
Under the hood, a post is an ordinary Source tagged "Blog" with its body as an attached Note, so it's searchable and editable like any other record.
Place two photos on top of each other. This is useful for "then and now" pairs, or comparing photos of the same person at different ages.
Draw a region on a photo to mark who or what's in that part of it. Open the photo full-screen and click a tagged face or object to jump straight to that person's or record's page.
