“A voice is part of the memory, too.”
One conversation at a time
You bring the question. They bring the story.
You do not need to be an interviewer or prepare a life story. Sit together, choose one prompt, and let the conversation take its own shape.
2
Start with one question
Pick a gentle prompt and record at your own pace. The person telling the story does not need to install anything.
3
Keep it close
Watch the story again, export a copy, or combine several moments into a family film.
See Reelatives in action
One question can open a door.
Choose a storyteller, find a question that feels right, then keep the moments that emerge in a family library you control.
Made for remembering
A small tool for an enormous legacy.
Prompts with purpose
Local conversations about memory, family, and everyday life, so you never have to begin with a blank screen.
The person stays at the centre
A prompt can be shown, hidden, or advanced. An interview never has to become a rigid questionnaire.
Family films to share
Combine stories in the order you choose. Add fades, gentle music, or a date, then share the result when you are ready.
Private by design
No accounts, advertising, analytics, or servers. Your originals stay on your device until you choose to export a copy.
Your story is yours
A family library, not another social network.
Reelatives is designed to preserve memories without turning them into product data. It does not need an account to work and never sends your videos, names, or photos to Chapiware.
Read the privacy policy- No account or public profile
- No advertising or analytics
- No Chapiware server or cloud
- You share only when you choose to
- Camera, microphone, and Photos permissions only when needed
Frequently asked questions
The essentials, before you begin.
Who is Reelatives for?
For anyone who wants to record someone important: parents, grandparents, a partner, friends, or chosen family.
Does the person telling the story need the app?
No. You guide the recording from your iPhone or iPad while they simply tell their story.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. The prompt catalogue, recordings, and library work locally on your device.
Can I record more than one person?
Yes. You can create different storytellers, and each person has their own stories and library.
How long can I record?
Each story can be up to 10 minutes long. You can save it, then start another story whenever you are ready.
What happens when I delete a story?
Reelatives deletes the video and internal app data. Copies you already saved to Photos or shared with another service are not changed.
Can I use the front camera?
The first version is designed for recording with the rear camera. The interviewer can guide the conversation from the screen.
How can I get help?
Write to us from the Reelatives support page.
