An elderly mother in an armchair by the window holds her Fablr hardcover as her daughter leans in beside her.

Attention, not another thing

“Don’t get me anything.” Your parent means it. They’re giving things away, not collecting them. But being asked about their life is different from being handed another object, and most people never tire of it.

Fablr gives your parent a year of voice conversations with a biographer that asks about their life and remembers what they said. At the end, the family has a hardcover of their stories.

Easy for an older parent

  • One button to start talking, on a phone, tablet or computer.
  • If you set it up as a gift, they open a private link. No account, no password, nothing to download.
  • Voice help is one press away if they get stuck.
  • If hearing is hard, a speakerphone or headset makes it easier.

Short visits, on good days

They can talk for five minutes or an hour, whenever they feel like it. The biographer picks up next time where they left off, and there’s no deadline inside the year.

Memory doesn’t have to be perfect

The biographer asks small, specific questions, which are easier to answer than big ones. If a detail comes out wrong, they say so and approve the correction on the page. One good story is worth keeping on its own.

What the family gets

A full-color, 8.5x11 hardcover of their stories, with a code on each recorded chapter that plays their voice. It’s included in the $149 and ships free in the US.

At the kitchen table, a granddaughter scans the printed code on a chapter of an open Fablr hardcover with her phone camera.

If you would rather someone else asked

A biographer who asks the next question.

Fablr holds these conversations by voice, at whatever pace suits them. It follows up the way a good listener does and remembers what they said last time. The stories become a hardcover, with a code on each chapter that plays it in their own voice.

Questions, answered.

If they can take a phone call, they can do this. They press one button and talk. Help is one press away if they need it.

Conversations happen from home, from a chair or a bed, and can be as short as they like. There’s nothing to hold or type.

The biographer asks small questions about a place, a person or a meal, and memories tend to follow. Whatever they share is kept.

Yes. People who come up in the stories can be invited to add what they remember, and their answers go into the same book.

No. The year is time set aside to talk. Order the hardcover whenever the family is ready.
