Preserve the stories
that shaped you
Storykin helps families capture the stories of their past and bring them to life for the next generation — through Kinstory, a living library of family memory, and Kidstory, where those memories become adventures.

Two stories. One circle.
From memory to imagination.
Kinstory and Kidstory are not separate products — they are two halves of the same circle. Together, they turn family storytelling into an act of creative connection.
Kinstory
A living library of your family's life stories. Carefully curated questions draw out the irreplaceable details — the sensory, the emotional, the true — from the people who lived them.
Kidstory
Real family characters, brought into imaginative new worlds. A bedtime story that could only belong to one family — because it's built from theirs.
One circle of connection
Kinstory and Kidstory are two halves of the same circle — from memory to imagination, from past to present, from fact to feeling.
How it works
From memory to imagination
Kinstory gathers. Kidstory plays. Together they close the circle.
Gather the stories
Carefully curated questions guide family members through their memories — their childhood, their migration, their values, their world. Every question is designed to surface the vivid, sensory detail that brings a story to life.
Answer in your own time
Family members answer in writing or by voice, at their own pace. The farther back they travel, the richer the detail — and the more fable-like the stories become.
A biography is born
Storykin weaves the answers into a polished family biography — a character in your living library. Review it, refine it, and add to it over time. Previous versions are always saved.
Characters come alive
Real family characters step into Kidstory — where children can take Grandpa Al or Abuela Maria on entirely new adventures. The life story of the remembered becomes a springboard for fresh imagining.
Kinstory
A living library of
your family's past
Every question in Kinstory has been carefully curated to surface the vivid, sensory detail that makes a story real — the smell of tea cakes in Mum's kitchen, the sound of Dad's laugh, the colour of the family dog's fur. These are cultural time capsules that can't be found anywhere else.
Refine until it feels right
Not happy with the first draft? Add a note — "Include the story about the summer in Naples" — and Storykin regenerates with that detail woven in. Keep refining as long as you like. Previous versions are always saved.
Story Circle
A living archive for your whole family
The past is always present, waiting to be noticed. Your Story Circle is where those noticings are gathered — a private living library that grows richer with every story added.
Your family's private library
All Kinstory biographies live in your Story Circle — a shared archive visible only to the family members you invite.
Stories for those no longer with us
Family members can continue adding to and editing the stories of those who have passed. Their voices stay present.
The richer the detail, the richer the story
As more is remembered and recorded, the library grows. Stories can be built on, extended, and shared beyond the immediate family.
Kidstory
Real kin.
New adventures.
The momentum of unearthing a kin-story should not be underestimated. When children hear of a grandparent's migration, they will want to take them somewhere new.
Kidstory takes the real characters from your family library — Abuela Maria, Grandpa Al — and brings them on entirely new adventures. The result isn't a generic bedtime story. It's a story that could only belong to one family.
