What Is Chaptr? The Searchable Family Storytelling Platform
What if you could ask your mother for advice years from now — and instantly hear her voice, telling her story?
That’s the vision behind Chaptr: a platform built to capture, preserve, and search family stories and wisdom.
Why We Built Chaptr
Technology can answer almost any question — except the ones that matter most.
“What advice did Dad give about raising kids?”
- “How did Grandma get through hard times?”
- “What was our family like when they first moved here?”
The internet can’t answer those questions. But your family can. Chaptr makes sure those answers are captured before it’s too late.
What Chaptr Does
At its core, Chaptr is simple:
- Capture: Record voices, stories, and wisdom through easy prompts.
- Preserve: Store them securely, with transcripts and tags.
- Search: Type a question, and instantly find the right story.
It’s like creating a search engine for your family’s wisdom.
How It Works
- Start with a prompt. Chaptr provides thoughtful, conversation-starting questions.
- Record with ease. Video or audio — whatever feels comfortable.
- Automatic transcripts. Every story becomes text, making it searchable forever.
- Smart discovery. Related clips are connected, so you can explore stories effortlessly.
What Makes Chaptr Different
- Beyond genealogy. Names and dates matter — but stories are what give them life.
- Beyond social media. No endless scrolling or distractions. Just meaning.
- Built for families. Intuitive enough for grandparents, powerful enough for future generations.
- Privacy-first. You decide what’s private, family-only, or shareable.
Why It Matters
Photos fade. Records can be lost. Memories slip away. But voices, laughter, and wisdom — captured and made findable — can live on.
Your children and grandchildren won’t just know where they came from. They’ll hear it, see it, and learn from it directly.
Final Thought
Chaptr isn’t just an app. It’s a movement to ensure that no family story, no wisdom, no piece of lived experience ever disappears.
