How to get the most out of KeepSaiQ

Practical tips from families who've built rich, lasting stories.

KeepSaiQ works best as a family project, a little at a time. Here's what makes the biggest difference.

Start with one person

Pick one loved one, often a grandparent or a parent, and answer the first few questions yourself. Don't wait until you have time to write something perfect. Short and honest beats long and polished.

Bring in other voices early

The magic happens when other people add what they remember. Your brother remembers a different side of Dad than you do. Invite two or three people in the first week. They can contribute from a web browser, with no app to download.

Explore the dimensions

Each story has dimensions: facets like What Brought Them Joy, How They Made People Feel, Childhood and Traditions & Rituals. Pick one you know well and add a memory. If you don't know, invite someone who might.

Add photos, then talk about them

Upload a handful of photos and add a line or two about what was happening. Search understands everyday language, so later you can find "Grandma at the beach" without tagging anything.

Record their voice, if you can

If your loved one is still with you, a short voice recording of them telling a favourite story is one of the most treasured things a family can keep.

Let the prompts do the remembering

KeepSaiQ can send your family a gentle question to answer. Choose how often in Settings: every day, once a week, or around holidays and birthdays.
