Why a Meminto Book is valuable for parents and teens
A Meminto is a great way to catch up on what you’ve missed and record what you’ve experienced.
Even if your kids are past their teens, you can review and relive their growing up years and create a book of all your experiences: With our smart question-and-answer assistant directly on your smartphone.
You can do this either alone or together with your partner, and it’s even more fun as a couple because you can motivate each other and get nostalgic.
We solve the problem with time, stress and aimlessness, and take you by the hand in a goal-oriented way every step of the way, so you won’t forget and hold on to any stories from your kids’ childhood.
For your child. And for you, mom & dad!
This memory book is written by you as a parent. It’s really easy! Here’s how:
We ask you 52 questions about your child’s past years. You can answer them conveniently in the browser or in the Meminto app and also invite your partner or even grandma and grandpa to join you.
Once you’re done, you can upload up to 250 pictures and additional audios and videos, design the book according to your wishes and share it. 8-12 days later, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind book with hundreds of pages of your best memories from your past.

Barbara, 79preserves memories of her mom
"We started a Meminto when my mother was still alive and we made a lot of audio recordings. Now I listen to it from the book every time I miss her. The Meminto team has faithfully helped for over a year. It was fun!"
Reiner, 74wrote the book on his smartphone
"My daughter gave me the book so that I could write down my life for my grandchildren. I wrote the whole book on my smartphone and am amazed at how well it worked despite the small display. "
Viktoria, 94answered questions on the phone
"Together with my son I have been able to record almost a century of history. We have created 16 books in German and seven in English. My family lives widely scattered. They were very happy."
Albert, 40has founded Meminto
"When my grandpa died, my whole family, 17 people in total, created this book. We simply answered questions about his life. I was able to read so many new stories about him that I didn't know yet!"
Anita, created a Yearbook
"I have captured the stories of our family over the last 12 months. It's more than just a photo book: you feel gratitude for all the great moments!"
Jessica & Marconewly married - with a wedding book
"Our guests gathered stories about us and also recorded the wedding day for us in the book, with lots of pictures and videos. We can always pick it up and dive back in. Really nice."
Ina, 34loved Meminto Stories' app
"I highly recommend the childhood book. I made it for my son so he knows how great our family time used to be. He already loves it and enjoys looking at it over and over again."
Jost, 71wrote 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."
Raichlee, loves to travel around the world
"I've tried so many things, but with any travel picture, you always have to tell your friends what you experienced there anyway. That's the strong advantage of Meminto. It includes the WHOLE story."
Will, 68wrote hundreds of pages
"I wrote my Meminto Stories book mainly as a keepsake for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Not only was it a breeze to do, but it was a lot of fun."
Verena, 32enjoys reading from the childhood book
"So much more than just a photo book. Through the questions, beautiful old memories come up again. Even videos could be loaded into the book. Emotions like when it all happened!"
Selmakept great moments in a childhood book
"With Meminto Stories I found a way to keep all my flashbacks of the first adventure with our child in a book. Now we can cherish them forever."
Carolin, 37with a 2nd childhood book
“What I find great is the 10% discount if you make a second book for another child after the first one. And considering there's room for up to 250 pictures, it's still cheaper than a photo book, especially with 300 pages."
Maria, 63wrote two books already
"At the beginning I had the idea to write down my life story for my children and grandchildren. Thanks to Meminto's questions, my story became colorful and multifaceted.
During the editing process, the Meminto support was always quick, friendly and competent to answer any questions.
Now I am happy to have 2 volumes with a total of more than 300 pages."
JP & Michellecreated a Travelbook
"Our favorite feature is that you can add a video memory in your book! How amazing is that!? This truly sets Meminto apart, and that is why we chose to trust them to bind together our special memories so that they will last forever!."

Even if you fill out your book together with other participants, you can set for each answer whether it should be visible only for you or for everyone.
Additionally, our 2-factor authentication protects your account. Even if your password is hacked, no one can log in to your account that easily.
We are aware of how sensitive your stories and the information they contain can be. Unlike other competitors, Meminto does not use any information for purposes other than creating the book. Your data will not be passed on or even sold. With Meminto, you can be sure that we treat your data with the utmost care.
