How Meminto works

The through-line
52 questions that make remembering easy
You never face a blank page. Meminto asks 52 hand-picked questions – one after another. You answer whenever you like, and add your own questions whenever one matters to you.
52 hand-picked questions
They guide you chapter by chapter through a whole life – from childhood to today.
Add your own questions
Pick from the question library or write freely whatever is still missing.
Family asks along
Loved ones can add questions too: what have you always wanted to know?
A few of the questions
- What do you remember most fondly from your childhood?
- How did the two of you meet?
- Which moment changed your life?
- What do you want us never to forget?
Prefer no questions at all?
With the Blank Book you start from empty pages and build your book freely – your own chapters, your own structure. Ideal for the family cookbook, a club chronicle or your very own project.

Your answers become real book pages
Every answer becomes a chapter – cleanly typeset, with your photos, in a matte 5.8 × 8.3-inch hardcover. And voice messages or videos stay right in the book via QR code: the real voice, there to hear again.

After the telling, we make it whole

A quick note
Illustrative book view
The following pages show example content placement only. They do not depict an actual Meminto book.
The dedication
It begins with a dedication
The opening pages say who the story is for. Here Grandma Rose writes for her children and grandchildren – a personal greeting before the story begins.
Contents & questions
A table of contents that guides
Like any good book, a table of contents leads to every chapter. And each chapter starts with a simple question – your answer becomes a told story, typeset like it was printed.
Photos
Photos find their place
Old prints, phone pictures, scanned treasures: they land right next to the story they belong to – with captions that feel handwritten.
Audio & video
The real voice stays
Voice messages and videos become QR codes in the book. Point your phone camera at them – and hear Grandma’s voice or watch the 80th birthday, as often as you like.
Together
Many voices, one book
Children and grandchildren write along: their own memories, questions and greetings. Every contribution shows who it came from – the book becomes a family project.
Done
Close it, pass it on
What remains is a book that lasts: to read aloud, to give, to rediscover. Up to 480 pages, printed and delivered worldwide.

“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!
“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.
“I am a photographer and value high print quality. Meminto has absolutely met that. I genuinely love the idea behind collecting stories, not just our own but of those around us. Read my Meminto review here.
“My neighbour Helga helped me write the story of my life into a book. Remembering the old days brought me joy, and now I have something to pass on to my grandchildren.
“Elise’s grandmother Carole decided to immortalize the first years of Elise’s life in a Meminto Childhood book. An almost 500-page thick book has been created, and Elise was full of joy!
“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! Here is my Meminto review.
“I am extremely happy that I was able to preserve my late brother’s stories and poems with Meminto before they are forgotten. The support from Meminto has been amazing.
“William’s grandmother, Carole, created a Meminto Childhood book as a surprise for his 13th birthday. After months of dedication and a last-minute race to finish, the gift arrived just in time and William was so captivated that he read it aloud to his family on the drive home
“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.
“With just one question per week, I was able to record my life story. That was a lot of fun! I am proud of my book and am already preparing the second 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.
“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.
“I have experienced a lot in my 70 years and spent a long time in the Philippines serving with a charity organization. I have recorded my experiences and stories in my own 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!
“What I liked was capturing memories in the form of videos and audios. Nobody does that as well as Meminto. We both had fun answering the questions and became closer. The childhood book is next.
“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.
“Thanks to Meminto, I finally had the opportunity to create a great memory book for my children without spending a lot of time ☺️
“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!.
