What's so special about writing stories with Meminto?
No writer's block.
Pure inspiration. 💡
Our questions will remind and inspire you, so you're guaranteed to remember situations long forgotten. With additional tips, we'll help you think of other things that go along with your story.
You can record your experiences either on a big screen in your browser or on your smartphone, which you always have with you.
More than just text: Pictures and even audio recordings! 🎵
Your life is not one-sided. Your book doesn't have to be either! Add photos to each story in your book to make it more vivid.
You can also use the app to record your thoughts. We'll then print a QR code that can be used to play your stories on your smartphone at any time.
Accessible: Answer questions on the phone! ☎️
No screen? No problem. We know how difficult it can be to type long texts – especially for older people without computer experience.
That's why all questions can also be answered on the phone. Meminto calls regularly for this purpose and simply records the life stories.
And the best part: We then convert the recording into written text. This way, the book almost writes itself.
Meminto brings you closer to each other 👨👩👧👦
Our question collections are very extensive – but it becomes much more exciting when you work on a book together with your partner or family. That way, even more personal stories emerge.
Simply invite other people and allow them to read along or even write. This is especially profound and beautiful with our Memorial Book as well as the Wedding Book.

Yes, if you do not want to answer a question, you can simply delete it. You will then be assigned a new question.
Questions that are not quite right for you, you can simply change them.
Via our “Discover Questions” function you will find many more questions that will help you to get creative at the push of a button.
Example questions for The Life Book:
- How did you learn to ride a bike?
- Did you have a good relationship with your grandparents?
- Have you ever been fired?
- How did you get to know your partner? Was it love at first sight?
- Where have you ever really messed up?
Our users find, that it is easier to make a Meminto Stories book than a photo book. It takes them on average 2-6 minutes to answer a question because they know exactly what they can write and what images to add. That means you can do it practically “on the side”, without much effort.
On the other hand, you can take your time and don't rush! You have 5 years to write your book.
For printing & shipping your book we need about 7-10 days at the end.
Your book will be produced with a hard cover in DIN A5 (5.8 x 8.3″) format. It then has up to 300 pages and is printed in color on natural paper. We have prepared some templates for you and every month there are more.
Before you release it, you will of course be given the opportunity to view and change it.
We do not make any changes to the content of your answers, but print what you have written.
Before you send your book to print, you have the option to book a proofreading. We will correct typos and spelling mistakes. The cost of proofreading depends on the amount of text that needs to be checked and will be displayed transparently.
Yes! Right at the beginning you can decide whether you want to order just one or more copies. You will find out the prices for the additional copies during the order process.
Even after your book is finished you can always order more copies.
Your privacy is very important to us. No one can see your answers unless you release them yourself. If you still want us to help you, you have to allow access before:
Even if you fill out your book together with other participants, you can set for each answer whether it should be visible only to you or to everyone.
Of course: Simply select whether the Meminto Stories access should be for you or for someone else. Then choose the date on which you want us to give the gift to the person. The person will receive an e-mail with a greeting card of your choice on that day and can start to relive and record their own experiences.
Yes! You can do it! Why?
- Because it is fun and joyful to remember back. You will be amazed at what you still know!
- Because every week we can remind you to answer the next question. So you don't miss anything.
- Because you only need 2-6 minutes to answer a question. You can do this almost always and everywhere!
- Because our books are designed with beautiful, fixed templates. You can make simple changes, but you will not lose yourself in perfectionism.
- Because the anticipation holding your own book in your hands and show it to family and friends is motivational.
Just get started!
Life is not always perfect. But it's always what you make it. So make it count, make it memorable, and never let anyone steal your happiness.
