Preserve what matters most
Start with one memory. Build something that lasts forever.
Whether you're writing your own memoir or giving someone you love the chance to tell theirs, Legacy guides the journey with gentle questions that digitally capture memories, values, and wisdom your family will treasure forever — and print into a beautiful keepsake book.

First chapter free. No credit card needed.
How it works
Simple for the storyteller. Meaningful for everyone who loves them.
01. Answer guided questions
Legacy asks thoughtful questions about a life — childhood, family, career, values, and more. Answer by typing or speaking, or gift it to someone you love so they can answer in their own voice.
02. Go deeper naturally
The AI listens to every answer and asks the perfect follow-up, drawing out details and meaning that might never have been shared otherwise.
03. Watch the story grow
Legacy automatically organizes memories into a timeline and weaves them into a beautifully readable story that grows richer with every answer.
04. Share with family
Invite family members to contribute questions or memories, share chapters when they're ready, or keep the story private until the moment is right.
05. Print it as a beautiful book
Once your chapters are complete, order a professionally printed, bound memoir delivered to your door — a real heirloom your family will treasure for generations.
What gets preserved
Everything that makes a life story irreplaceable.
- Memories — The moments that shaped a life
- Values — What you believe in and stand for
- Lessons — Wisdom earned through experience
- Voice — Your perspective, in your words
- Family history — Where your family came from
- Traditions — The rituals that bind generations
Why families do this
Whether you're the storyteller or the one making sure the story gets told.
The stories you don't know yet
The version of your parents you know is only part of who they are. Their fears at 25, their dreams they quietly let go of, the moments that changed everything. Those stories still exist. Legacy helps you find them.
There's still time, but not forever
Whether you're capturing your own story or someone else's, starting today means nothing gets lost. One memory at a time, at your own pace.
A gift that outlasts everything else
Long after the people we love are gone, their stories remain. Legacy turns those stories into something your family can hold, share, and return to for the rest of their lives.
A letter they'll open when the moment comes
Write a message to your grandson for his wedding day. To your daughter when she turns 30. To great-grandchildren who haven't been born yet. Legacy keeps it sealed and delivers it exactly when you intend.
Type it or record it in your own voice. Legacy holds it safely and releases it on the date you choose, or whenever the person you love is ready to receive it.
Your stories are safe here — always.
- Private by default — Only you and people you personally invite can ever read your stories.
- We never sell your data — Your memories are never shared with advertisers, third parties, or anyone else.
- Your stories are yours — Export everything anytime — your words belong to you, not to us.
- Delete anytime — Cancel and permanently delete all your data whenever you choose.
What families are saying
"I didn't think I had interesting stories to tell. Legacy helped me realize I had so much more to say than I ever imagined." — James M., preserving his story for his grandchildren
"I signed my father up because I didn't want our family stories to disappear. What surprised me most was how much he enjoyed it himself." — Richard D., gifted Legacy to his father
"My children keep asking me to add more chapters. They're obsessed with reading about my life — things I never would have thought to share." — Dorothy B., active for 8 months
A living legacy
Imagine a future where your grandchildren could sit down and hear your story, or your parents', ask questions, and truly understand where they came from. Every story captured today, yours or a loved one's, brings that future closer. Legacy is building toward a world where no one we love is ever truly forgotten.
Everything you need to know
Who can see my stories?
Only you — and anyone you personally invite. Your stories are completely private by default. We never share, sell, or analyze your personal content.
Do I need to be a good writer?
Not at all. Legacy guides you with gentle, thoughtful questions. You can answer by typing or speaking — there's no blank page, and no writing experience needed.
How much does it cost?
Your first chapter is completely free — no credit card required. After that, plans start at $12/month or $99/year. You can cancel anytime.
What happens to my stories if I cancel?
Your stories remain accessible for 30 days after cancellation. You can export everything before then, and we'll delete your data permanently when you ask.
Can family members add to my story?
Yes! By reading and asking you questions about your chapter. Every question you answer adds to your legacy.
Can I print my memoir as a physical book?
Yes — once you've completed your story chapters, you can order a beautifully printed hardcover or paperback memoir directly from Legacy. It makes a wonderful keepsake for the whole family.
Preserve Your Family's Memories Forever
Legacy by Lgcies is a memory preservation app that guides you through capturing your life story, chapter by chapter. Whether you want to record your childhood memories, family traditions, or life lessons, Legacy makes it beautiful and effortless.
Why Family Stories Matter
Most families lose their stories within one generation. Names, voices, and memories fade when they aren't captured. Legacy helps you preserve family history digitally so the people you love most can always look back and remember.
Who Legacy Is For
Legacy is designed for seniors who want to tell their own story, adult children who want to preserve a parent's or grandparent's memories before they fade, and families who want to give a meaningful gift that lasts forever. Whether you're 35 or 85, it's never too early — or too late — to start.
Legacy vs. a Journal
A blank journal can feel overwhelming. Legacy removes that friction entirely. Instead of staring at an empty page, you're guided by warm, thoughtful questions that draw out stories you might never have thought to write down — about your childhood neighborhood, your proudest moment, the advice you'd give your younger self, and the values you hope to pass on.
Start a story that will outlast all of us.
Whether it's your own story or someone you love, you don't need to write a book. Just start with one question, one memory, one answer. The rest takes shape from there.
