Every family has stories worth hearing again and again.
Stories From the Sun is where your family shares and preserves its oral history — grandparents, parents, and children, each in their own voice. Laughter, wisdom, and love, kept safe for every generation.
The stories that make your family yours
Grandma telling how she met Grandpa. Dad's hilarious road trip story. Your child asking 'What were you like when you were little?' — and you answering, in your own voice.
These are the moments that connect generations — and Stories From the Sun gives every family member a way to share them.
Not as text on a screen, but as real voices telling real stories — the living oral history of your family.
Because a story told in someone's own voice is a story that truly lives on.
Close your eyes. Press play. Feel the warmth.
A voice carries what words on a screen never can — the laughter, the pauses, the love between the lines.
A family story
“The Great Anthropic Hackathon of 2026”
Told by Grandpa Dimi, for his grandchildren
“That was the winter when your grandfather participated in the Great Anthropic Hackathon of 2026...”
This is what a family story sounds like. Imagine your family's vault, full of moments like this.
For every voice in your family
Everyone has a story to share
Stories From the Sun brings your whole family together — each generation with something precious to give.
For Grandparents
Share the stories only you can tell.
Your recipes, your adventures, your wisdom. In your own voice, at your own pace. No rushing, no technology to wrestle with — just you and your story.
For Parents
Capture today for tomorrow.
Bedtime stories, first-day-of-school excitement, the sound of a Sunday morning. The ordinary moments that become extraordinary with time.
For Children & Grandchildren
Ask the questions that matter.
What was the world like when you were young? What makes you proud? What should I never forget? The questions that spark the best stories.
Why voice?
A voice carries what text never can
Photos capture faces. Videos capture moments. But only a voice carries the soul of a story.
Emotion lives in the voice
The laugh, the pause, the crack in someone's voice when they remember something beautiful. Text can describe it — a voice makes you feel it.
Oral storytelling connects us
Long before books or screens, families sat together and shared stories aloud. It's the oldest, most natural way to pass down who you are.
One place for every voice
No more scattered voice notes in chat apps, recordings on old phones, stories only in someone's memory. Every voice, every story, one family vault.
See how it works
Simple, warm, and beautiful
Designed so a grandmother and an eight-year-old feel equally at home.

From families like yours
“We've collected 23 of Dad's stories so far. When I play them for my daughter, she laughs at his jokes like he's right there in the room.”
Sarah M.
Mother of 2, Chicago
“My kids recorded a story for their grandparents about their first day of school. Now Nana plays it every morning with her coffee. It goes both ways — that's what makes it special.”
Michael R.
Father of 3, Portland
“Mom was skeptical at first — 'I don't do apps.' But the prompts made her open up in ways she never does in person. Now she asks when the next story session is.”
Anna K.
Recording with her mother, Boston
“My eight-year-old asked Grandpa what school was like in 1960. He talked for forty-five minutes. It's the most beautiful recording in our vault.”
Lisa T.
Three generations recording, Austin
