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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your timeline is private by default. You control exactly what you share and with whom. Nothing is public unless you create a share link.
Where this usually starts
Where you grew up, what school was like, how you met their other parent. The answers come out in fragments over years of car rides and holidays. A timeline holds them in one place, in order, so the next question doesn't start from nothing.
It usually starts as something to leave the kids. Seeing the shape of your own decades laid out tends not to stay a gift for someone else.
A parent with early-stage dementia changes the arithmetic. Building the timeline together, while they can still narrate it, captures what no amount of later research recovers.
