FAMILY TIMELINE APP

Your family's journey,
on one timeline.

Grandparents, parents, and you. When you line up each person's life on the same timeline, conversations begin: "What was everyone doing that year?" Kakeifu – Family Timeline is an app for keeping old stories, by speaking or writing, together with photos and voices.

For families like these

  • While your parents are well: you want to hear more of their stories, but you don't know where to start.
  • Photos are scattered: albums and phone photos are spread across the family and hard to look back on.
  • For your grandchildren: you want to pass on the scenes your family has lived through.

What you can do

  • A colorful family timeline: each family member's life is shown as a colored band on the same time axis. Years with records are marked.
  • Record by speaking or writing: if writing is hard, you can turn spoken words into text, or record your voice as it is. Speech to text works with English (US) speech, but it may not work in some browsers.
  • Photos too: keep memorable photos with the events of that year. Location data is removed automatically.
  • Pets are family too: add a pet with the year they came home (and the year you said goodbye, if needed). Their band appears on the timeline, and you can keep their memories too.
  • Look back person by person: tap a band on the timeline to see that person's memories in order.
  • Backup: export your records to a file and keep it safe. You can carry them over to a new phone.
  • No installation: works in the browser on iPhone and Android. Add it to your home screen to open it like an app.
  • English or Japanese: the app is shown in English when your phone's language is not Japanese, and you can switch with the 日本語 / English button.

Your family's memories stay with your family

  • Records are saved only on your smartphone. They are not sent to HiBUNO, and we cannot see them.
  • We recommend backing up once a month. If records are lost because your phone is lost or broken, HiBUNO cannot restore them.
  • When you use "speak to text," your voice may be sent to your phone's provider (such as Apple or Google). Using it is up to you.
  • Please get the consent of the person whose stories, photos and voice you record.
