Everyone’s here once a year.
The cousins who never see each other. The uncle with the stories. Put one tablet on the picnic table before the food comes out.
“Who was the wild one in this family?”
A guided conversation for your group
Good Old Days — Get together. Bring back the memories.
For brothers and sisters, parents and grown children, grandparents, cousins and old friends — everyone around one table.
Two to eight people · One room, one screen · No Life Story needed
One table. More than one memory.
A place to start“What do you remember about the house you grew up in?”
One story leads to another“That kitchen! Remember when…”
Everyone has a version“Wait. That’s not how I remember it!”
Talk together. Keep the stories you uncover.
Illustrative conversation · 2–8 people in one room, using one computer or tablet
A gathering, not an exam.

You know the moment
Somebody says,
“Do you remember when…”
It feels like a Friday night at the kitchen table, a long visit on the porch, or the best part of a reunion.
And the whole room lights up. One story leads to another. Somebody remembers it differently. Everybody laughs. And for an hour or two, the people who aren’t here anymore feel close again.
Good Old Days gives that moment a gentle guide. Pull up a few chairs in front of one computer or tablet. We start a memory, ask the question that brings out the next story, and keep things easy and warm. You just talk. When you are done, the stories you told become a keepsake for the people who come after you.
When families use it
Bring it to the table
you’re already sitting at.
You don’t need a special event. But when everyone is finally in one room, this is the hour to catch.
After the dishes, before the drive.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, the Sunday everyone comes over. The hour after dinner when nobody wants to leave yet.
“What did Christmas look like when you were ten?”
The house, when the guests have gone.
The stories start on their own. Let them be kept. People who are gone are welcomed into the room, and anything too heavy can be skipped with one tap.
“What’s the first thing you remember about her?”
Their people, in one room, on purpose.
An 80th. A 50th anniversary. Instead of a speech, a conversation everyone joins—and a keepsake the guest of honor gets to keep.
“What do you know about them that they’d never say?”

How the two hours workOne purchase covers one shared conversation. Your conversation time only counts while you are talking together: taking a break, reading, checking out, or waiting for your keepsake to be written never uses it. We’ll let you know quietly when about 15 minutes and 5 minutes are left. If time runs out, you get a few minutes to finish the story you’re telling, and everything you shared is saved.
How it works
As easy as sitting down together.
No app to install. No preparation. Nobody has to remember every date.
Gather around one screen
One computer or tablet, in one room. Type in the first names of the people sitting down together and how you know each other.
We start a memory
A warm guide asks one easy question at a time and lets the stories flow — the house you grew up in, the family car, the funny ones everybody still tells.
Keep what you remembered
When you’re ready, we write your keepsake. It stays private to your account until you choose to share it.
A gathering, not an exam. Nobody has to answer every question, and nobody gets put on the spot. When a story is going well, we get out of the way. When someone has been quiet, we gently invite them in. You can stop for dinner, pick it back up after dessert, or finish next weekend. Everything is saved as you go.
What you keep
The stories only
your group could tell.
Yours to keep — it lives in your Family Room, free to download during your year. The download is yours forever. Nothing is shared or used anywhere else unless you choose to share it.
Your keepsake
A warm memory book made from your conversation: chapters drawn from the stories you told, with different memories kept side by side.
In your own words
Every question and every answer, word for word, with the names you tapped.
The recording
If you choose video or audio, the conversation itself — the voices, the faces and the laughing.
While everyone is here: seal a message for someone who isn’t old enough to hear it yet.
See Time CapsulesA Time Capsule takes two minutes at the end of the conversation. Grandpa records one for the baby in the next room. It opens on her 18th birthday, no matter what. Nothing to remember. Nothing to renew.
Who can join the conversation?
Two to eight people sitting together in the same room: family, old friends, or both. Only the person who buys needs an account. Nobody has to be part of a family tree.
What happens if our two hours run out?
We let you know quietly when about 15 minutes and 5 minutes are left. When the time is used up, no new questions are asked, but you get a few minutes to finish the story you’re telling, and it is saved. Then you choose: add another hour for $19 and keep going in the same conversation, write your keepsake, or come back later. Nothing is ever charged automatically.
Can we stop and come back another day?
Yes. Take a break anytime. The conversation time stops, and you pick up right where you left off, on the same device or another one.
Is there a limit on extra hours?
No. Add as many hours as you like, one at a time, whenever you choose.
Is it private?
Yes. Your conversation, keepsake and recording are private to your account. Nothing is posted anywhere and nothing is used for marketing. A link is only made if you choose to share it, and you can turn it off. Our privacy policy explains the details.
How is this different from a Life Story?
Good Old Days is one shared conversation for a group. A Life Story is a longer guided conversation about one person’s whole life, with its own keepsakes. It is a separate $250 purchase, and you never need one to enjoy the other.
Where does our keepsake live?
In your Family Room — a year of it comes with your $59 purchase. Think of the year as a sample: plenty of time to download everything and see what your family’s own space feels like.
Download your keepsake free anytime during the year — the book, every word of the conversation, and the recording. That download is yours to keep, forever.
After the year, renewing the Family Room ($199 a year) is your choice, and nothing is ever charged automatically. Your keepsake stays available either way.
Get together. Bring back the memories.
Some of the best stories
are shared ones.
Get the people who were there around one table, and bring back the memories while you can tell them together.
