Remento
A science-backed app to capture family stories through conversation
How does it work?
Remento helps people discover, document, and more deeply appreciate their family story in a new way. The Remento iOS app makes it easy to host a conversation with a family member that uncovers precious memories from their past.
Draw inspiration from Remento’s library of conversation prompts, designed by our scientific and storytelling experts to remove the guesswork of getting started with any family member. Tailor your selected questions and photos to your goal, whether it's to explore monumental moments or joyful reflections of everyday occurrences. Your phone becomes the facilitator, guiding the conversation with the prompts as your roadmap, recorded directly in a private and secure file within the app. Remento organizes the the recorded video by story, making for easy and sharing—no fancy editing needed.
Why is it needed?
Hearing people speak about their lives is powerful. Their facial expressions pauses, and laughter are part of a larger story unfolding in real time. Remento helps strengthen relationships, facilitate conversations and maybe even recontextualise your family history.
How does it improve life?
The Remento iOS app is free and available for download in the Apple App Store. Making the app free to use reflects our genuine belief that everyone should be able to have meaningful experiences like this. In the future, we may introduce optional premium features and functionality.
