Reminiscing promotes optimism
Reminiscing makes us feel more socially connected
Reminiscing reminds us to cultivate strong relationships, and pursue life goalsÂ
But we can't reminisce because our photo apps failed us
Our libraries are so massive, so overwhelming that we can't enjoy our memories. We're stuck relying on apps guessing what memories matter and what photos and videos are meaningful.
Our years of effort taking photos, pausing moments to capture just the right shot, are effectively wasted.
​
Backstory is different
Backstory transforms your endless mess of photos and videos into a breathtaking collection of favorite moments.
Your personal Backstory becomes your foundation for reminiscing, for entertaining memory experiences and for sharing your life story.
​
Prototypes of future memory experiences.
Backstory's magic isn't just having an organized collection of photos and videos, it's also in the process of curating, which is like a form of reminiscence therapy.
​
