Getting started

10

When you first sit down to write.

Use case

Contradictions and versions

Memory lies. When you retell the same story with different details, the app links them — and you confirm whether they're the same or keep them separate.

Use case

The question of the week

Every Monday, a different question. *«What was the first time you felt like an adult?»* It nudges you a little, without being a pushy push.

Use case

Writing without a script

Sometimes you don't want an AI to interview you — you want to write whatever you feel like. Free mode is exactly that: a blank page, no questions, no forced structure.

Use case

Starting from scratch

I want to tell my life story but I don't know where to begin — an AI interviews you chapter by chapter and structures your answers.

Use case

Keeping the habit

Achievements, gentle streak, and progress bars toward formats. So that one bad week doesn't make you abandon the corpus.

Structure

The twelve chapters

Your life isn't a flat list of anecdotes — it's twelve chapters. Childhood, adolescence, first love, adult life, losses, kids. You have a map, not a feed.

Use case

Tell it out loud

You hit record, talk for two minutes, and the app transcribes and lightly edits. For days when writing is exhausting but telling isn't.

Use case

Search by feeling

Not by exact words — by how it felt. Search «when I was angry at my dad» and the app understands, even if you didn't write those words.

Use case

Photos and objects with their story

You upload a photo, a scan of a letter, a picture of an object that matters to you, and add the text that explains it. Without the story, a photo is a file. With the story, it's a memory.

Use case

Your timeline

Your life as a heatmap — months vertical, years horizontal. Months with more anecdotes glow; hard ones turn amber; vague eras render as bands. An honest view of the shape of your life.

§

Making a book

03

When you have material and want to turn it into a work.

Use case

Make a book of your life

Short story, podcast, screenplay, novel, or biography: your anecdotes turned into something readable.

Output format

Your life as a podcast

Your anecdotes turned into audio episodes, narrated in your voice or one you choose. To listen to while driving, or so your mom can hear you tell her something new.

Output format

A short story of your life

8 to 15 pages. One of your anecdotes written as literary fiction — with rhythm, dialogue, tension. To gift, to read aloud, or just to have.

§

With your family

09

When others lived the story with you.

The idea

A slow social network

No ads, no infinite scroll, no show. You share memories with the people you choose — because living for the anecdote is a better life than living for the feed.

Use case

Hard dates

Anniversaries of losses, hard days, people who are gone. Anecdotario treats them with the care they deserve — no invasive notifications, with the option to read in silence.

Use case

Closed circles

You share certain anecdotes with your family, others with your best friend, others with no one. No anonymous audience, no algorithm, no surprises.

Use case

Sending a chest

You curate anecdotes, write a dedication, send it. The other person opens it when you say. It's not a post — it's a gift for someone specific.

Use case

Your map of people

A constellation with you in the center. Each node is a person; the lines are shared anecdotes.

Use case

Birthdays and reminders

I want to remember my mom's birthday before her birthday — we tell you a week ahead and suggest one of your anecdotes with her, ready to wrap into a chest.

Product decision

No likes, no metrics, no comparison

No hearts, no views, no ranking. What you write doesn't compete with anything — not with what others write, not with what you wrote before.

Use case

Telling stories between two

You add friends one by one, you tag each other in anecdotes, and merge the ones you lived together into a single voice. No public feed, no metrics — just people you actually lived things with.

Use case

Letters to the future

You write to your child at 18, to your 60-year-old self, or to whoever you choose. Anecdotario keeps it and notifies you on the day it's due — ready to send.

§

Keeping it yours

04

When what you wrote has to stay yours, no matter what.

Use case

Museum mode (if you cancel)

If I stop paying, do I lose what I wrote? No — you stay in museum mode: you read and export everything, but you can't create new content until you come back.

Policy

Your stories don't train AIs

What you write isn't used to train foundation models — neither ours, nor Anthropic's, nor OpenAI's. Your corpus is yours — period.

Use case

Take everything with you, anytime

One click and you download everything: anecdotes, audios, photos, generated books — in open formats. No conditions, no paperwork, no chatbot trying to retain you.

Use case

What happens if I die

You designate digital heirs. When you're gone, they receive read and export access to your full corpus, according to the rules you left.
