LifeCharted turns what you remember into a visual timeline you can explore, question, and share. Talk for ten minutes and watch the first fifteen events appear.
We built a full timeline for a fictional person: forty years of jobs, moves, and trips. Open it, zoom around, read the AI's observations about him. No account, no email.
Open the live demo →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.
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.
Everything below is generated from the same timeline you build once.
A Gantt-style timeline spans your entire life across every domain — career, residence, education, travel, relationships, health, and achievements.
Define the great periods — College Years, a decade abroad, your founding chapter — as named eras that span the full timeline. Every event suddenly has a story above it.
Type or speak anything — “Joined Netflix as Senior Engineer in 2019” — and LifeCharted parses it into a structured event. AI handles the extraction; you review and confirm.
“You mentioned finance after college — which firm was your first, and when did you start?”
Joined Goldman right after graduation in 2001, left for a startup in 2004
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.
LifeCharted reads your entire timeline and generates a written narrative of your life — from full autobiography to a short professional bio — in your voice.
“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.”
The Life Resume pulls every chapter into one document: career, education, homes, achievements. It covers all of it, not just the last three jobs.
How many cities have you called home? Which decade had the most change? Life Stats turns your timeline into a set of numbers that surprise you — and reveal how much you've actually lived.
“Your three biggest career leaps each came within 12 months of a major relocation. The pattern is remarkably consistent across 20 years.”
“You've lived in 5 cities across 3 countries, averaging 6.4 years per home — longer roots than you probably think.”
“Your move to San Francisco in 2014 preceded your two strongest career years. Location and momentum are connected for you.”
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.
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.
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.
Your life data belongs to you. We make money from subscriptions, so we have no reason to sell data or run ads, and we never will. Every AI feature is opt-in, nothing you write trains a model, and you can export everything in open formats whenever you want.
The more decades, moves, and chapters you have, the more the timeline gives back.
Decades of career, family, travel, and milestones — finally organized in one place. Share your story with children and grandchildren who never knew the early chapters.
See how retirees use it →Multiple countries, languages, careers, and homes — the complexity of a global life deserves a structured record. Chart where you've been and what you've built along the way.
See how expats use it →Your history is your children's inheritance. Capture the decades before they arrived, the milestones they remember, and the story they'll want to know someday.
See how parents use it →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.
