A book about them, made by their people.
A printed hardcover memory book of messages and photographs from their family, friends and colleagues.
Which book are you making?
Birthday Book
A gift for a milestone birthday, from a 10th to a 100th. Messages and photographs from family and friends, gathered before the day and printed as a hardcover.
Memorial Board
In memory of someone who has died. An online board, with a background you choose, where the people who knew them add memories, stories and photographs. When the family is ready, it becomes a printed keepsake book, with a cover you choose.
Leaving Book
A leaving gift for a colleague who is moving on or retiring. Instead of a card, the whole team's messages, short or long, and their photos, in a printed hardcover.

You know Mum.
- Her siblings: the girl she was.
- Her friends: the adventures.
- Her colleagues: another side of her.
Bring all those pieces together, while the stories are still there to be told.
Everyone

piece

Write a memory
A thought, a story or a kind message. Long or short.
You came round with a bottle of wine and your wrapping kit, sat on my floor and got on with it. How lucky am I?
Love always,

Or just say it
Talk instead of typing. We’ll write it down for you.
Speak a message
“Sue, apparently I’m supposed to write something nice about you because you’re seventy…
being your younger brother means…
Sometimes it’s easier to say it

Watch it become a book
Photos with a caption on each, and messages beside the photo they came with.
You make it for them. You don’t realise you’re making it for yourself too.
Imagine her discovering what she means to everyone.
- The stories they still tell.
- The moments they still remember.
- The little things she did that they never forgot.
A book that doesn’t just celebrate her life. It shows her what her life has meant to everyone else.
Structure, design, guidance, prompts:
that’s our job.
Knowing the person:
that’s yours.
The book reads as if everyone knew exactly what to say. We helped them know.
Beautiful already. Change as much, or as little, as you like.
Move photos, edit text, change layouts and chapter titles. We give you a starting point, so it’s easy whether you make it your own or leave it as it is.
With no effort
A ready-made book
Every message, photo and caption is laid out for you, chapter by chapter, with each person’s name beside their words. Look it over, approve it, and it’s done.
If you want to
Make it yours
Move anything, swap layouts, add a caption to any photo, rename and reorder chapters, choose the cover. Change as much or as little as you like.
Either way, nothing prints until you approve it.
Change anything, with one tap
The book is laid out for you. If you want to change it, everything is a tap away. These are the real screens.
Tap a photo, and it’s yours to move
- Swap it with another: tap one, then the other
- Give it a page of its own
- Move it to another chapter, or start a new one
- Take it out of the book. It stays safe, just not printed
Fix a photo
- Move it in the frame so faces sit right
- Crop, rotate or straighten a wonky scan
- See the whole photo, or go back to how it was
More pages, or fewer
Switch a whole chapter with one tap. Every photo stays in. Here, a chapter of 55 photos:
Fewest pages
8 pages
Balanced
12 pages
Airy
28 pages
A photo per page
54 pages
A different layout for any spread
Over 40 layouts. Each spread offers the ones that suit its photos.
Warned before anything prints blurry
A small dot marks a photo that may print soft, with the way to fix it.
Change your mind?
Undo is always there.
Made to keep.
- Chapters
- The book comes with chapters to start from: the parts of a life for a birthday or a memorial, the best moments and funny stories for a leaving book. You rename, add or remove any of them.
- Everyone’s words
- Letters, short notes and stories, each with the name of the person who wrote it. Someone who would rather talk can speak a message instead, and it prints as written words.
- Photographs
- Each person can add up to 30, and they are laid out on the page alongside the words. You choose the crops, the layouts, and which photograph gets a page of its own.
