Timeline · Map · Story · Insights

Your life story is currently stored in about a dozen places.

LinkedIn has the jobs. Your phone has 40,000 photos it never explains. A Google Doc from 2015 has three paragraphs of a journal. Your memory holds the rest, and it drops details every year.

Nobody can see a whole life that's stored like that. Not your kids someday. Not even you, today.

So we built something
LifeCharted
The missing view.

LifeCharted lays your whole history out in lanes, like a project plan for a life: career on one row, homes on another, travel, school, health, people, milestones. A world map traces every move. And because the data is structured, the AI can do something photos never could: notice that your three biggest career leaps each followed a move, and tell you.

Ten features. One dataset: your life.

Everything below is generated from the same timeline you build once.

01 — Timeline

The whole arc, decades to days.

A Gantt-style timeline spans your entire life across every domain — career, residence, education, travel, relationships, health, and achievements.

  • Multiple lanes for every dimension of your life
  • Filter, search, and zoom to any period
  • Spot patterns you never noticed before

04 — Guided Interview

Just talk. It types.

Most people build 15–20 events in their first session. A guided conversation captures your history while you speak or type: career, education, homes, relationships, milestones. LifeCharted pulls out the events; you confirm what's right.

  • 6 guided chapters: Roots, Education, Work, Places, People, Milestones
  • Speak or type — voice mode transcribes and extracts in real time
  • AI pulls structured events as you talk; confirm, edit, or skip each one
  • Pauses and resumes across devices — pick up exactly where you left off
05 — My Story

Your timeline, written out.

LifeCharted reads your entire timeline and generates a written narrative of your life — from full autobiography to a short professional bio — in your voice.

  • 6 narrative styles: autobiography, chapter summary, professional bio, and more
  • Grounded in your actual data — not generic AI filler
  • Pinnable versions — share a snapshot, not a live feed
  • Regenerate anytime as your timeline grows

Life Story · Chapter Summary

“The decade between 2010 and 2020 was defined by movement — four cities, three industries, and a growing clarity about what kind of work actually mattered. Each relocation arrived just as something else was ending, as if geography and reinvention were always traveling together.”

08 — AI Insights

Patterns you lived but never saw.

It reads across every lane at once. That's how it can connect a job change in 2014 to a move in 2013 — a link you'd never spot scrolling photos.

  • Category-based insights: Career, Travel, Health, Education, Relationships
  • Pattern recognition across your full timeline
  • Save insights you want to keep; dismiss ones that don't resonate
  • Refreshable — generate new observations as your data grows

09 — Sharing Center

You decide who sees what.

The Sharing Center gives you precise control over who sees your history. Share a pinned document version with specific people — not a live window into your entire account.

  • Share by email, SMS, or direct link
  • Audience scope: Public (anyone with link) or Trusted (invited contacts only)
  • Version pinning — recipients see a snapshot, not a live feed
  • Revoke access anytime, instantly
10 — Life Journey

Watch your moves on a map.

Every city you've called home, every country you've visited — animated across an interactive world map. Watch your life's geography unfold in real time.

  • Animated residence moves traced with great-circle arcs
  • Trip arcs in cerulean, residence moves in amber
  • Camera follows your story through each era

A note from the founder

Someone once asked me how many cities I'd lived in. I had to think about it. I got it wrong on the first try, and went back and counted on a map.

That bothered me more than it should have. I'd lived those years. I'd packed every box. And I still couldn't tell you, with any confidence, how many places I'd called home — or which year I changed careers, or what was happening the week before the best decision of my life.

The facts were everywhere. LinkedIn knew the jobs. A Notes app held a few half-finished journals. iCloud remembered the days I'd had a camera out. Memory filled in the rest, badly. No single view existed of the whole.

Then I started thinking about everyone else. About the stories my grandfather took with him. About my parents, whose timeline I have only the vaguest grip on. About friends I've known for twenty years and couldn't put in order if I tried.

A life is too big to hold in your head. So is the life of anyone you love.

I built LifeCharted because I needed it for myself. We are building it for everyone whose stories deserve a place to live.

— Jon, founder
