I was nineteen. The shipping office was on the second floor, eleven typewriters and one window, and I had the desk by the window because I came in first every morning.

The best advice I ever got
Grandpa said to write the date on the back of every photo. He was right. Half the box in the attic has no dates, and nobody left can tell me which summer it was.
So this year I am going through the album with Mom, one page a Sunday, and writing down what she remembers before I forget to ask
A first memory to record
Ask your mother about her first job. Record her answer, add the photo of the office, and share it with the people who want to hear it.

When can I download MemoryBox?
MemoryBox is in testing now. Join the waitlist and we email you once, on the day it reaches the App Store and Google Play.
Who can see my memories?
Only you, until you share one. A Circle sees what you share with it, and a link works until you turn it off.
Does MemoryBox use AI?
Only if you allow it. Google Gemini writes titles and transcripts after you tap Allow, and Settings turns it off again.
Can family listen without the app?
Yes. Make a link to one memory and send it. It opens in a browser, and you can turn it off at any time.
Can I delete my account and memories?
Yes. Settings, then Delete account, removes your account and your memories. Single memories can be deleted at any time.
