Life writes the best stories.
This is how your Meminto can look like!
For mom, because she deserves it.
Everyone becomes an author with a Meminto!
ℹ️ Here’s how it works:
We start with asking your mom 52 questions about her life. These come either once a week by e-mail or can also be answered in one go, just as she wishes.
Her answers become the chapters of a book full of life stories.
After the storytelling, up to 250 pictures and additional audios and videos can be uploaded.
About 8-12 days later, the recipient will hold in his or her hands a truly unique book with the best memories of his or her life.

Gail, New Yorkstill capturing her tales on paper
"I've been writing my life story since I was in my 20's. Now I finally have a medium for capturing my tales on paper in a beautifully printed book, using 'copy & paste' and the Meminto blank book option. I'm already working on my second book! You can find my review here!"
Jost, Germanywrote at his daughter's request
"My daughter asked me to write something down about my youth and her grandparents. I came across Meminto. It's a great way to write everything down. A memoir like this also clarifies things for oneself. The customer service is first class. I can only recommend Meminto."
Viktoria, Switzerlandanswered questions on the phone
