One private place where your whole family shares memories, answers small questions and leaves messages for the little ones. By voice, video or text, in whatever language they speak, and everyone reads it in theirs.
Free while in beta. Works in your phone's browser, nothing to download.
Family memories are scattered across group chats, camera rolls and people's heads. And when Grandma speaks Cantonese and the grandchildren speak English, half of it never gets passed on.
Yume grows with your family. Start wherever you are.
Questions that change as they grow, messages from grandparents for when they're older, and them in their own words each year.
“Linh, the day you were born, I cooked the soup my mother made for me. One day I'll teach you how.” Bà, translated from Vietnamese
Share a memory any time, old or new. Tag who was there and they're asked to add their side of the story.
Yume asks everyone one small question at a time. Parents and grandparents just hold the button and talk, and over time their answers become chapters of their life story, in their own words.
“At sixteen I worked in my uncle's bakery. I got up at four, but the smell of fresh bread made up for everything.” Babcia, translated from Polish
A page for them, where the family, and their friends if you like, can share what they remember. Only appears if you add someone.
Questions, answers and every screen in the app. Grandma answers in hers, the grandchildren read it in theirs, and the original is always kept.
Speak a language that isn't here? Type it in when you sign up and Yume will do its best.
My mum speaks Cantonese and my dad speaks Vietnamese. I grew up in London, thinking and speaking in English. There's so much about their lives before they came here that I never asked about, and that they never found the words to tell me.
I made Yume so they can tell it in their own language, in their own voice, and I can finally understand it in mine. Every family has stories like these, whatever languages they speak.
Create your family and send each person their own link on WhatsApp. You choose who they are, Mum or Grandad, so they don't have to set anything up.
Yume asks everyone a small question about their life, building on what they've already shared. Anyone can share a memory or ask each other something too.
Hold the button and talk, film a short video or type. Yume writes it out and translates it, so everyone can listen, read, react and reply.
The people with the best stories are often the least comfortable with apps. Yume is built around them.
Set Yume up for them and the stories start arriving in the new year. It's free while we're in beta.
Yume isn't a social network. Nothing you share is public, and nothing is there to sell to you.
We're testing Yume with our first families before opening it to everyone. You can start today.
