What Heirloom sounds like when it asks.
The living archive
Heirloom sends your parents one gentle question a week. They just talk. Every answer becomes a story your whole family can hear, read and add to — for years.
“The winter we moved to Oakland, your grandfather sold his watch for the deposit.”

How it works
By text or email, one at a time, read aloud in a natural voice. Family can add their own: “Ask Grandpa about the restaurant.”
One big button on any phone. Stop when they’re done. iPhone voice is stored as audio, never lost.
Transcribed, titled and kept with the original audio. Relatives listen, react and send the next question.
