MyHeirlooms

Photograph the things you’ve kept, and record why in your own voice. MyHeirlooms turns them into a family museum your children and grandchildren can open any time.

One day, someone will decide what to keep. A ring will look like jewelry. A photo will look like a stranger. A document will look like paper. Unless the story is preserved.

HOW IT WORKS

Add a photo. Anything meaningful, even the small things. A watch, a recipe card, a chair, a letter.

Discover what you have. We’ll suggest what it is, when it’s from, a little of its history, and what it might be worth. Then we ask one good question to get the story started.

Tell its story. Tap record and talk. Every word is written out as you speak, so the recording and the transcript stay together forever.

Watch your museum grow. Collections form on their own as you add heirlooms and stories. No folders, no sorting, no setup.

Bring the family in. Invite a parent, a sibling, a child. Everyone can add their own heirlooms and stories, and with notifications on, family hears the moment something new arrives.

FOR THE ONE WHO REMEMBERS, AND THE ONE WHO DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE IT

We built MyHeirlooms for a 73-year-old grandmother and her son to use at the same kitchen table. She has the stories. He has a growing family that wants to learn. The app works for both: simple enough to hand to a parent, and organized enough to catalog everything a family wants to hold on to and share.

“It’s not just junk. I have a way now to tell my son the stories behind everything — and why I kept it.” — Carol, 73
