When my father passed away unexpectedly in 2024, I realized I didn’t have a single recording of his voice — not one story in his own words. I was determined not to make the same mistake with my mom.
When I mentioned it to friends, they told me they were facing the same challenge — how to preserve their own family’s stories — and asked if they could use it too.
That’s how Self Told was born. It’s helped my family hold onto the voices and memories we cherish, and I hope it will do the same for yours.

Yes — after your free trial ends, a subscription is required to keep using Self Told. It gives you full access to the service, so you can continue capturing, listening to, and sharing your family’s stories. You can cancel anytime, and you won’t be billed once your subscription ends.
It depends on your plan. The Family Plan lets you add as many loved ones as you’d like — there’s no limit to how many voices can join in.

Absolutely. You can switch plans anytime — and your new plan will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. It’s simple, and you’re always in control.
Your stories are always yours. If you decide to cancel, you’ll have the option to download your recordings so you can keep them safe and pass them down however you choose.
You can record stories in any language, but to get the full Self Told experience — like transcriptions — recordings should be in English. We’re working on adding more languages soon!
Absolutely. Your stories are for your family — and only your family. We take your privacy seriously, with multiple layers of security to protect every recording. Stories are encrypted while stored on our platform, and only the people you’ve invited to your account can access them.
