Start with one story
Let them tell it in their own voice
Tellby turns one relaxed conversation into a private written-and-audio story card. They can pause, skip, or stop during the conversation. You read the memory card and approve it before the rest of the family sees it.
Starting does not enrol or consent for your parent or relative.
