Grandmother and granddaughter hugging, joy in soft light
LIFE STORIES

For a milestone birthday. For a fiftieth wedding anniversary. For someone who has always meant to put their own story down. Willow gathers the memories and shapes them into something the whole family will hold onto.

Two ways in

A gift you give.
A story you keep.

As a gift

A gift that lands harder than a card.

For a 50th birthday and every milestone after. For a 10 year wedding anniversary, a retirement, the moments that deserve more than a dinner. Bring siblings, cousins, lifelong friends, and old colleagues into one place. Willow gathers their memories and shapes them into a biography you give as a gift, digitally and as a hardcover book.

Often used for: 50th, 60th, 70th, or 75th birthdays, 50th wedding anniversaries, retirements.

On your own

For the story you’ve always meant to write down.

A blank page is the reason people quit. Willow asks the next question, and the next, by voice or by text, in five minutes or fifty. Your grandchildren will know who you are, in your voice, in your words.

Often used by: people in their sixties and seventies who want their story told properly.

Common questions.

Who can contribute?

Anyone you invite. There’s no app for contributors, they receive a private link and add their memories by voice or text, on a phone or a laptop.

Can I do this with a parent who isn’t online much?

Yes. A Willow Guide can help with phone interviews, and contributions can be added on their behalf.

What does it cost?

€299 for the first year, everything included. €29/year after that to keep editing, or free passive storage. See the pricing page for the full picture.

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you can send a text message and click a link, you can use Willow.

Is the story private?

Yes. A Willow Story is private to the people you invite. Nothing is public unless you choose to make it public.
