Guided Interview

Capture a life story one memory at a time.

LifeArchive guides the interview by decade, asks thoughtful follow-up questions, saves progress automatically, and keeps original recordings beside polished story drafts.

Device check

Test audio and video before recording.

Use microphone and speaker tests before an interview. Camera preview is optional and best for longer family sessions where expression and presence matter.
