Echo Nests

Overview

Echo Nests is a mobile-first app designed to help families preserve their heritage through audio recordings. Whether it's a grandfather's bedtime story, a mother's ritual, a sibling's advice, or a cherished recipe — every voice matters, and Echo Nests gives those voices a permanent home.

It's not just a recording app; it's your oral time capsule.

The Problem

• Voices fade. Family stories, blessings, recipes, and rituals are passed down by word of mouth — and are at risk of being lost forever.
• Tech barriers. Many family members aren't comfortable typing or navigating complex apps.
• Text can't capture warmth. Written words lose the laughter, the pauses, the accent, the personality of the storyteller's voice.

The Solution

Echo Nests makes it effortless for anyone — regardless of tech skill — to preserve what matters:

1. Tap to record. A one-tap recorder captures memories in seconds.
2. Add context. Attach a title, photo, and descriptive tags to organize recordings.
3. Share with family. Create private family groups to share, comment, and build a living archive together.
4. Offline access. Keep your favorite recordings available even without connectivity.

Key Features

• Audio-First Interface — Simple enough for every generation to use.
• Family Groups — Private circles for sharing and collaborating on your family archive.
• Rich Metadata — Search and filter by tags, titles, or categories.
