Why we created YourStories.live
When my brother passed away at 50, his daughters were 10 and 3. They were left with boxes of photos, his awards, a Mets hat he wore to every game. But they don't know it was his lucky hat, or why. They don't know the people in those photos or what they meant to him.
They won't know what he believed in, what he valued, or what he would have told them about life. They have his things, but not his story.
That's why we created YourStories.Live. So future generations don't just inherit your stuff; they inherit your stories, your values, and your meaning, in your own words.

Every story starts with a memory.

What is YourStories.Live™ (“YSL”)?
YourStories.Live™ is a legacy-preservation platform designed to ensure your life lives on across generations—by keeping your stories and your possessions alive
Your stories are recorded by photo, video audio and combined with your loved ones and friends too. Add meaningful tributes to your friends, grandkids, children and things like advice or special trips.
We preserve your stories forever, and allow your grandchildren to even interact with them when they are ready, while ensuring everything is shared on your terms.
ALSO, you can physically pass on your meaningful treasures and personal items. That’s right, items like your favorite collections, china sets, jewelry, family heirlooms can be passed on into the future to be delivered when you think your loved ones are ready to receive them.
    With YourStories.Live™, you can:
  • Build your personal life timeline
  • Add photos, videos, audio, and milestones in chronological order
  • Invite friends and family to add their “take” for a richer story
  • Leave audio/video or email messages for future delivery
  • Schedule gifts (from heirlooms to personal treasures to services like flowers) up to 30 years into the future
chat_info General Information
What is the goal of YourStories.Live™ (“YSL”)?
Our goal is to ensure your precious life is cataloged, remembered, and accessible to your loved ones—when they are ready to receive the stories and gifts that made you unique.
chat_info General Information
How do I create my timeline?
    There are two ways to add your life to YSL:
  • Do it yourself using our system
  • YSL Concierge meetups (for a small fee or upgraded accounts) to help record and add video/audio files
    Both options begin by:
  • Creating your account (like a retail checkout—we only need a few pieces of information)
  • Moving through simple questions, answered by video or typing (the basic foundation for your life)
    As these are completed, we assemble:
  • Your Ancestry
  • Your Profile
  • Your Timeline
If you like what you see, you approve it. Don’t like it? Change or delete it.
Along the way or after, you can invite loved ones to collaborate, add viewers, or add recipients for future delivery of your possessions.
chat_info General Information
Can others collaborate to my timeline?
    Yes—and that’s part of what makes YSL unique. You can invite selected family and friends to:
  • Add their “take” on your stories (video, audio, or typing)
  • Upload their photos or videos
chat_info General Information
Where are you located?
    YSL’s main office is in Baltimore, MD, with additional offices in:
  • Columbia, MD
  • Honolulu, HI
  • Seoul, South Korea
