Without your voice, photos are just photos. Keepsakes are just objects. And the things you believed in disappear with you. YourStoriesLive.com™ helps you pass down more than possessions.

Common Questions
chat_infoGeneral Information
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use YourStoriesLive.com?
No. If you can record a video on your phone or type an email, you can use YourStoriesLive.com. The platform is designed specifically for adults who aren't looking for a learning curve — guided prompts, simple navigation, and support if you need it.
chat_infoGeneral Information
Is my content private?
Yes. Every account is private by default. Your stories are never visible to the public, and we never sell or share your content with third parties. You control who sees what, and when.
chat_infoGeneral Information
Can my family members contribute to my archive?
Yes. You can invite family members to add their own entries, contribute to shared memories, or record their own perspectives. The archive can be collaborative — or kept entirely personal. Your choice.
chat_infoGeneral Information
What happens to my Future Delivery messages if something happens to me?
Future Delivery commitments are treated as protected, time-locked records — not simple scheduled emails. Your instructions are preserved and executed as intended, regardless of what happens to your account status. This is one of the core promises of the platform.
chat_infoGeneral Information
How long does it take to get started?
About five minutes to create an account. Your first recorded entry — a single reflection, a timeline moment, or a future message — takes most people under 15 minutes. You build from there at your own pace.
chat_infoGeneral Information
What formats can I record in?
Video, audio, photos, and written text — in any combination. You can switch formats between entries, or within a single entry. Whatever feels most natural for the story you're telling.
Why we created YourStoriesLive.com™
When my brother passed away at 50, his daughters were 10 and 3.
They were left with boxes of photos and his awards. And a Mets hat he wore to every game. But they don’t know it was his lucky hat, or why. They don’t know the people in those photos or what they meant to him.
They won’t know what he believed in, what he valued, or what he would have wanted them to understand about life. They have his things, but not his story.
That’s why we created YourStoriesLive.com™. So future generations don’t just inherit your stuff. They inherit your stories, your values, and your meaning, in your own words, delivered when they’re ready to receive them.
