For parents

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. LifeCharted gives you a structured record — and AI helps you write the narrative that goes with it.

Leave something that lasts

Share with your children — no app needed

Send a read-only link your kids can open in any browser. They see the full timeline, the map, the story. No account, no sign-up, nothing to download.

The years before your children

Your kids know the parent — not the person who came before. LifeCharted lets you capture the decades they never witnessed: the early career, the struggles, the adventures, the person you were becoming.

A written story they can keep

AI turns your timeline into a narrative — your story in full sentences, grounded in the events you've entered. Export it as a PDF to share, print, or include in a life binder.

Milestones they remember and ones they don't

Mix events your children know — their births, family moves, school years — with milestones from before they existed. The full family history, not just the parent-years.

AI helps you remember

The AI interview asks you questions about your life phase by phase, drawing out stories you might not have thought to write down. It prompts, you respond — the timeline fills itself in.

Private — visible only to you

Your timeline is private by default. You control exactly what you share and with whom. Nothing is public unless you create a share link.

How parents use it

My daughter kept asking about my childhood — where I grew up, what school was like, when I met her dad. LifeCharted let me answer all of it in one place.

Mother of two, Columbus, Ohio

I started it as a legacy project — something to leave my kids. Three months in, I realized I was doing it as much for myself as for them.

Father of three, Atlanta

My dad has early-stage dementia. We built his LifeCharted together while we still could. I'm so grateful we started when we did.

Common questions

How do I share my timeline with my kids?

Premium users can generate a read-only share link that anyone can view in a browser — no account required. You can also export a Life Resume PDF and a My Story narrative to share digitally or print.

Can I include photos of my children and family?

Yes. You can attach photos to any life event — a birth, a move, a milestone. Photos are stored privately and visible to you and anyone you explicitly share with.

Is LifeCharted a good gift idea?

Many people use LifeCharted as a gift for a parent — for a milestone birthday or after a health scare. You can create an account, pre-fill a few events from what you know, then invite them to continue.

What if I want to capture my parents' story, not my own?

You can use LifeCharted to build a timeline for anyone — including a parent. Add events from what you know, interview them for the rest, and keep the record for your family.
