Memoir Builder
Organize your life story, visually.
Turn scattered memories into a finished book. Lay your story out on a visual board, capture chapters and details in whatever order they come to you, rearrange them and then export a polished manuscript when you're ready.
Capture a memory without typing a single word. Tap the microphone icon on any device you're logged into — including your phone — and just start talking. Your words are transcribed automatically into a text attachment and land in the Stream of Consciousness chapter, ready for you to review and move into the right chapter whenever you get to it.
It's the fastest way to get a passing thought down before it's gone! And when you're ready to share it, export the whole board, a single chapter, or just one card, in the format that fits.
Now available in English, Italian, Spanish, French and German.

How It Works
Your story, your way
Memoir Builder is built around how memories actually surface — out of order, in fragments, often triggered by an old photo — not how a blank page demands you write.
Chapters & Cards
Lay out the major periods of your life as chapters across your board, then open any one to fill in the details on its own Chapter Details Board.
Capture Out of Order
Add pieces as they come to you — writing, photos, scanned documents.
Reorder the Memories
Arrange the pieces once the shape of the story becomes clear.
Export a Manuscript
When a chapter feels done, export a fully formatted PDF ready to print or share.
Our Method
From fragments to finished book
Choose a Template
Start from one of Memoir Builder's starter templates — a timeline, a coming-of-age arc, a themed memoir, and more — or begin from a blank board.
Build Your Chapters
Lay out the major periods of your story as chapters, then open any one to start filling in its details.
Attach the Details
Bring in photos and documents, or write directly in the app, card by card, inside each chapter.
Export Your Manuscript
Generate a fully formatted document — free in PDF or Plain Text, with MS Word and RTF on Bronze — whenever your board feels ready, no formatting work required.
Our Philosophy
Memory doesn't move in a straight line — so your story shouldn't have to either.
Traditional writing tools force chronological order from page one. Memoir Builder lets memories surface the way they actually do — in fragments, triggered by a photo, a place, a face or a conversation — then helps you shape them into a finished book once the pieces are in place.
