Build Your Family’s
Story Library.
MiMir makes it easy to capture stories by voice, video or text. Your family can play them back today, and their kids can play them back years from now.
We’re Losing Our Family Stories.
In every family, there’s someone who knows why the family moved, what really happened at that wedding, how a favorite dish was made before anyone wrote down the recipe. These stories are a kind of inheritance that shape our identities, and little by little, they’re disappearing.
- Hours of video footage is hard to search
- Books of stories get read once and then forgotten on a shelf
- A lifetime of memories feels overwhelming to take on, so families don’t start.
Built Over a Life, Not Pieced Together After Someone’s Gone.
MiMir saves more than just the story. It keeps the personality, laughter, and wisdom imbued by the person telling the story, so the people you love can keep learning from you, in your voice.
Record Stories
Create your own or answer curated questions. Record by voice, video, or text, with the ability to voiceover photos and videos for an immersive story.
Auto-Organize
Every recording is transcribed and indexed the moment it’s saved, with the ability to tag and map names and nicknames so any story is easy to find.
Share Privately
Stories live in relationship-based family circles. Spouse, kids, extended family, friends, each with their own designated privacy level.
Creators
Record or upload stories through text, audio, video and photographs. Start on your own, follow a guided prompt, or answer a request from family.
Consumers
Listen, watch and revisit stories from the Creators you’re connected to, and ask them for the stories you want to hear next.
Executors
Trusted people a Creator designates to look after the archive when the Creator can no longer manage it.
MiMir is Private By Design
We’re recording our own family stories on MiMir alongside you, and built the entire business model around keeping this data private.
You decide who sees what.
No public feed, no followers, no algorithm deciding what surfaces.
Your stories never train an AI.
What your family records stays in your family. It doesn’t go to any model, anywhere.
We don’t sell anything about you.
MiMir runs on subscriptions. Your data and attention aren’t the product.
Encrypted, private storage.
Sensitive data is encrypted, and personal details are kept in privacy-focused jurisdictions.
Family Lore is Born Out of Every Chapter.
Start at a wedding. Add it to a graduation, a birthday, a reunion, a summer BBQ, a winter ski trip. Bring it into the places where families gather to remember — a care home, a hospice, an estate planning conversation. Life happens in all of them.

“I wanted something closer to the front-porch storytelling I did with my family. I wanted to hear their voices.”
MiMir began as the dream of its founder, Scott Harris, after losing his father and brother and facing his young son’s cancer diagnosis.
