HoldDear helps families preserve the actual people they love telling their stories — their face, voice, expressions, and mannerisms. You create a private family archive, invite relatives by email, and record video stories. One login can belong to more than one family.
It is not a social network. It is not a public memorial page. It is not a discovery directory. It is invite-only space for the stories only your family can tell.
What you can do today
- Create a private family archive
- Invite owners, admins, members, and viewers
- Record or upload video stories (MP4, MOV, WebM)
- Watch together — or keep a story private to the creator
- Read transcripts and story summaries to find what matters
- Use guided prompts to get conversations started
- Choose Family, Family+, or Preserve when you’re done actively recording
What’s coming
Gift Year purchase and redemption are on the way. Public story share links are not available today.
