Stories from every generation
Parents, grandparents, siblings and children can each add the moment they remember differently. Together, those perspectives create a fuller family history.
A family story worth keeping
Create a family memory book that tells your story.
The moments that make a family are rarely all in one place. Bring your stories, photographs and different perspectives together in a family memory book your loved ones can read, hear and keep.
What is a family memory book?
A family memory book is a printed keepsake that brings together the stories, photographs and voices that shape a family. With Meminto, you can preserve one person’s life story, document a shared year, collect memories for parents or tell your family’s story as a couple — guided by thoughtful questions and created together.
More than a photo collection
Give every family memory its story, context and voice.
A family memory book becomes valuable when it explains what a photograph cannot show on its own. Meminto gives your family a guided place to collect the details, perspectives and recordings that make the past understandable to the next generation.
Photographs with context
Add the names, places, occasions and small details behind old family photographs, so the people in them do not become unknown faces.
Voices and recordings
Written answers can be complemented by voice or video recordings. QR codes connect selected recordings to the printed pages.
Questions that unlock memories
Thoughtful prompts make it easier to begin. Keep, adapt or skip questions so the book follows your family rather than a rigid template.
From the first question to the finished book
How creating a family memory book works.
You can start with one person, a shared family project or a gift. Meminto keeps the process manageable: answer when it suits you, add what matters and review everything before printing.
01The questions are ready
Meminto suggests the questions that carry a life story. You can adapt, remove or add any question.
Flexibly adapt the questions.
02A question arrives
Every week, your loved one receives a new question by app, email or phone call. They simply start telling. Those who prefer writing can type.
At the pace that suits you.
03Answers become a book
Each answer becomes a chapter. Once enough has been told, the book goes to print: a matte 5.8 × 8.3-inch hardcover, printed in full colour.
Memories become pages.
04The family reads, hears and sees
Every story is immediately there for the whole family. In the printed book, a QR code leads back to the real voice. The e-book can be shared worldwide.
The memory stays alive.
One family, different stories
Choose the family memory book that fits your story.
There is no single right way to preserve a family. Start with the person, moment or shared history you want to keep close.
What belongs in the book
Turn scattered memories into one family keepsake.
Stories in every voice
Invite parents, grandparents, siblings or children to add the memories only they can tell.
Photographs with context
Give the pictures in your camera roll the names, places and stories that make them meaningful.
A record that stays
Create a premium hardcover that can be read together now and passed on later.
Start with a story

Questions about family memory books.
What can I put in a family memory book?
You can include written stories, photographs, questions and optional audio or video recordings connected through QR codes. The right mix depends on the family story you want to preserve.
Can several family members contribute?
Yes. Family members can answer questions, add photographs and contribute their own perspective. That is what turns a collection of memories into a shared family story.
Which Meminto book is best for a family?
The Family Yearbook fits a shared year, the Life Story Book preserves one person’s complete story, the Book for Mom and Dad collects a family gift, and the Love Story Book tells a couple’s shared history.
Do we need to write everything ourselves?
No. Meminto guides the process with questions, and stories can be typed, dictated or recorded by phone. You choose the pace and which questions belong in the book.
How does Meminto work in the browser – and is there an app?
Meminto works directly in your browser — on a computer, tablet or phone, with nothing to install. If you prefer speaking to typing, you can also use the Meminto app for iOS and Android.
