How your family memoir grows
Prompt
We send a thoughtful question each week, designed to unlock the stories that matter most.
Tell
Your loved one answers by voice, on their phone, whenever the moment feels right.
Keepsake
Each response becomes a polished audio story with a custom illustration and written transcript.
Share
Send beautiful shareable clips to family, or keep them private. You decide.
Repeat
Over weeks, a rich family memoir grows, one story at a time.
Your parents have a lifetime of stories.
Most will never be told.
We always think there will be more time. More holidays. More long drives. But the stories that shaped your family, the ones only your parents can tell, are quietly slipping away. SundayPorch makes it effortless to start capturing them today.
“I built SundayPorch because I wanted to preserve my grandmother's stories before it was too late. She's 84, and I realized I'd never recorded a single one. That's what this is for: making it so easy that you actually do it.”
Three simple steps
Pick a Storyteller
Invite a parent, grandparent, or anyone whose stories you want to preserve.
They Answer by Voice
Each week, they receive a guided question and respond in their own words, in their own time.
Receive a Keepsake
Their story is transformed into polished audio, a written narrative, and a custom illustration.
Everything you need to preserve what matters
Voice-First
No typing required. Just speak naturally. We handle the rest.
Deep Questions
Thoughtfully crafted prompts that go beyond 'tell me about yourself.'
Real Voice Preserved
Hear your loved one's actual voice. Their laugh, their pauses, their warmth.
Illustrated Stories
Each story comes with a custom illustration inspired by the narrative.
Share moments that matter
Turn any story into a beautiful shareable clip. Send it to family in a text, post it for a birthday, or keep it as a private treasure. Each clip features your loved one's real voice over a custom illustration.
“We had nothing, but your grandfather looked at me and said let's dance anyway.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my parent isn't tech-savvy?
They just answer a phone call. No apps to download, no accounts to create, no typing required. If they can talk on the phone, they can use SundayPorch.
How long until I see results?
Your parent's first story is processed within minutes of the call ending. You'll get a shareable clip, transcript, and illustration. Not weeks or months from now.
What if my parent doesn't want to do it?
Start with the free tier. We'll make one call, record one story, and generate one clip. If they don't enjoy it, you've lost nothing. Most parents love it once they start talking.
Can other family members listen to the stories?
Yes. Invite unlimited family members to your dashboard. They can listen to stories, watch clips, react, and even suggest questions for future conversations.
How is this different from StoryWorth?
StoryWorth asks your parent to write essays by email for a year. SundayPorch lets them just talk, by phone call, and delivers results in minutes, not months. We also preserve their actual voice in a narrated audio memoir, generate custom illustrations, and include a hardcover printed book. And our $99 Full Memoir is a one-time purchase, not an annual subscription.
