Problem
When a loved one passes away, they take with them stories that no one else can tell. Many families don't know what questions to ask or how to preserve valuable anecdotes, and old photos lose their context while voices fade away, resulting in irreplaceable memories being lost forever.
Solution
Memory Hunt is a family storytelling app that helps preserve personal histories through guided video and audio recording. The app offers psychologist-designed question prompts to facilitate conversations and capture memories, allowing users to record responses in video or audio format easily. Each memory is automatically stored and securely shared with the family circle, creating a living archive accessible to all generations. The platform guides users through the entire process—from creating a shared family account to selecting participants and question categories, then recording and sharing the memories with the whole family. Media files are stored with encryption in AWS Paris, with backup copies maintained in AWS Stockholm for disaster recovery.
Target Audience
Primary users are families, particularly multi-generational households in Latin America, who want to preserve their personal histories and create lasting digital legacies for children and grandchildren. The app is available in 18 Latin American countries including Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia.
