For Culture Keepers
Every elder is a
library waiting to be preserved.
Indigenous traditions. Oral histories. Artisan techniques. Languages spoken by only a few. The knowledge that exists in people, not books — and disappears when they're gone.
The urgency of cultural preservation

Countless
Traditions exist only in memory of elders
When an elder passes, we don't just lose a person — we lose a connection to centuries of accumulated wisdom, stories, and ways of understanding the world.
Preserving living heritage
Indigenous Elders
Creation stories. Traditional practices. Ecological knowledge. Spiritual teachings. All preserved in the elder's own voice, in their own language.
100% on-device processing means sensitive cultural knowledge stays private.
Language Preservation
Record fluent speakers telling stories, explaining words, singing songs. Capture pronunciation, idioms, and context that dictionaries can't preserve.
Transcription supports multiple languages with the voice preserved.
Artisan Knowledge
Master craftspeople explaining techniques: blacksmiths, weavers, potters, woodworkers. The subtle knowledge that takes decades to acquire, explained step by step.
Document processes in the artisan's own voice and terminology.
Veterans & Witnesses
First-hand accounts of historical events. Veterans' stories. Witnesses to moments that shaped history. Preserved before living memory becomes only written history.
Personal accounts in the speaker's own voice and perspective.
"When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground."
