Toldwell
Some stories should be told well.
A privacy-first family-memoir app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It gently prompts an elder with life questions and keeps their answers — in their own voice — end-to-end encrypted and shared only with family.
Planned Founder price: $24.99 USD, one-time purchase. No subscription.

What it is
A family's oral history, preserved across generations.
Toldwell is built for someone who isn't a "tech person." A question appears, they answer in their own voice, and the story is saved — encrypted — and shared with the family members they've paired with. No subscription, no analytics, no separate Toldwell account.
One question a day
A thoughtful prompt appears each day — drawn from 250 questions across 13 life categories, from childhood to wisdom.
Answer in their own voice
One large button records a voice answer, or they can type. Speech is transcribed on-device into a searchable story.
End-to-end encrypted
Every story is sealed on the device and shared only with paired family. No separate Toldwell account. Family sharing uses Apple Accounts and verified pairing.
A memoir worth keeping
Attach photos, react to stories, and export a printable PDF memoir — a life remembered, kept in the family.

How family sharing works
Sharing across separate Apple Accounts is currently part of the controlled TestFlight beta. Pair with a family member, compare the verification symbols, then accept the Organizer's private Apple invitation. Both people need iCloud access and should open Toldwell to finish syncing.
