Why Yume?

Fair question. Here's the difference.

DNA apps tell you who your ancestors were. WhatsApp buries everything. Yume is built for the living family — right now.

📁 The alternatives
Google Drive requires too many steps — nobody ever opens it and presses record
WhatsApp buries everything — scroll back two years and it's lost under memes
DNA apps look backwards at ancestors you never met — names on a tree, no voices, no stories
None of these capture culture, language or traditions — the living things that make your family yours
In 40 years your great-grandchild finds a camera roll full of unlabelled photos and nothing else
🌿 Yume
Every generation contributes — elders record stories, parents share daily life, kids add milestones
Culture and traditions preserved — recipes, celebrations, languages, wisdom and the stories behind them
Voice in any language — Gran records in Cantonese, everyone reads it in their own language automatically
A living archive — the nine-year-old posting her gold star today is building history her children will look back on
In 40 years your great-grandchild opens the whole family's archive — voices, recipes, traditions. Forever.
The family feed

A private channel just for you.

Photos, voice notes and moments from every family member — in one warm, chronological feed. No algorithm. No strangers. No ads. Just your family, every day.

  • Double-tap any post to love it
  • Hold to choose a reaction — Loved, Ha!, Moving, Proud, Grateful
  • Tag family members with @name
  • Share posts as a beautiful family card
  • 1 year ago today — memories resurface every morning
Prompts & the vault

Every question becomes a memory.

Anyone can send a prompt to any family member — a grandchild can ask Grandad, a parent can ask a cousin. The answers build into threads that go straight into the vault.

  • Anyone sends prompts to anyone — no restrictions
  • Daily prompt sent to every member at their chosen time
  • "Next question?" — no pressure, just curiosity
  • Answers thread into conversations, saved to vault
  • Recipes, traditions, memories, time capsules, heritage

Elder mode

One button. Any language.

Elders get the simplest possible view — one big record button and a family feed. The language is set once during setup. After that, Gran just speaks. That's the entire interaction.

  • Giant record button — press and speak naturally
  • 50+ languages auto-transcribed and translated
  • See what the family is up to in the feed
  • React with a single tap — one tap says "I saw this, I love you"
  • Adjustable text size for maximum readability
Family timeline & profiles

The whole story in one scroll.

Every vault item builds a chronological family timeline — oldest memories at the top, today at the bottom. Each family member also has their own profile showing everything they've ever posted, year by year.

  • Colour-coded by vault category
  • Each member's age shown on every post and item
  • Individual profiles — chronological life in posts
  • Time capsules shown as locked — unlocking on the chosen date

Everything your family needs

One family. One living archive.

Not just for grandparents — for everyone. Every voice note, photo and tradition builds another chapter.

📱

Family feed

A private social feed just for your family. No algorithm, no ads, no strangers. Just your family, every day.

🎙

Voice in any language

Record in 50+ languages. Every voice note auto-transcribed and translated for each reader in their own language.

🍜

Recipes with the story

Not just ingredients — the memory behind them. Voice, video and context. How Gran's hands move. Why she makes it every year.

Time capsules

Leave a message for a child's 18th birthday or a grandchild not yet born. Unlocks on the day you choose.

💬

Prompts — open to everyone

Anyone sends a question to anyone. A grandchild can ask Grandad, a cousin can ask an aunt. No keeper required.

🌳

Family vault

Memories, traditions, heritage and sayings — preserved in categories, searchable and organised. Forever.

🎉

Shared albums

Christmas, the kids growing up, family holidays — shared albums everyone can add to. Save the whole album to the vault in one tap.

📅

Family timeline

Your family's story in chronological order. Vault items and milestones woven together — the whole story in one scroll.

🔥

Family streak

Someone posts every day — the shared streak keeps everyone coming back. Milestones celebrated at 7, 14, 21, 30 and 100 days.

Smart notifications & empty state

Notifications that feel personal.

The difference between a notification people dismiss and one they open is entirely the wording. Yume sends specific, personal nudges — not generic alerts. And when someone joins fresh, a warm guided prompt means day one never feels blank.

  • "Linh answered the prompt you sent her last week" — not "New activity"
  • Weekly nudge when a family member hasn't posted — with a one-tap prompt send
  • 1 year ago today — resurfaces every morning
  • First prompt ready on day one — no blank feed

Family space & vault nudges

See your whole family at a glance.

The family tab shows every member — their age, role, last active time, and keeper status. And every week, Yume surfaces posts worth preserving so the vault fills naturally without anyone having to think about it.

  • Every member's age shown — always in context
  • Keeper and co-keeper roles clearly visible
  • Weekly vault nudge — "3 posts worth keeping this week"
  • Inline "+ Add to vault" — one tap, no screens to navigate

Real families. Real stories.

Every generation has a story worth keeping.

"

I never thought my stories were interesting. But when my granddaughter played back my voice note and cried, I understood — they were everything.

I posted a video of us making banh chung for Tết. My daughter is four. When she's my age, she'll be able to watch it and understand exactly who we are.

I found my great-grandmother's voice note from three years ago. She passed last year. I've listened to it maybe fifty times. I didn't know I needed it until I needed it.

Annual memory backup
Built to last

Your memories are yours. Always.

The most common question we hear: "What if the app disappears?" It's the right question. Here are our answers.

🔒

End-to-end encrypted

Your family's content is encrypted before it leaves your device. Nobody at Yume can read your messages or view your photos.

📦

Always exportable

Export everything — every photo, voice note and text — at any time, even on the free plan. Your memories are never held hostage.

🛡

No AI training

Your family's stories and voices will never be used to train AI models. Never sold. Yume makes money from subscriptions only.

📅

Annual backup

Every year, Yume automatically packages your entire vault and sends it to the Keeper's email. Memories survive even if you never log in again.

🌍

GDPR compliant

Built to UK and EU data protection standards. You have the right to access, correct and delete every piece of data Yume holds — instantly.

📜

Our shutdown promise

If Yume ever closes, we commit to 12 months' notice and a full export tool. Your great-grandchildren deserve access to these memories.

Your family's culture is happening right now.

Every photo, voice note, recipe and celebration builds into a living archive — preserved by everyone, for everyone still to come.

You're on the list — we'll be in touch soon. 🌿
