After my older sister died, I wanted to see her life in one view.

Not a box of photos. Not a folder of files with dates in the names. One view, beginning to end, so I could take in the whole shape of it.

Nothing did that. So I built it.

A note for those of you building something of your own.
The clearest explanation of what my app does was not written by me. A user said it, on camera, walking through what she made. When you want people to understand what you've built, stop describing it and film someone using it. One conversation, one camera, and you get language you could not have written.

Join us for Life By Decade LIVE!, Thursday September 24, 1:00 PT / 4:00 ET. Helene and I will each walk through our full timelines. Mine has never been public. Bring questions. ​
Register now.

Helene's point holds whether or not you ever open my app. The people who want your story are here now.

Any questions, I'm here.

Use AI Well. Stay Human. Build What Matters.
