Why we created UponLife

The idea for UponLife wasn't born in a boardroom, but around the family dinner table. We’ve always loved listening to the stories our older relatives shared.

Those stories about their youthful dreams, brave moments, and funny mishaps did more than entertain us, they connected generations and made us feel closer.

But we realized something important: if we didn't save these memories, they could vanish forever.

What Was Missing in Other Tools

We set out to find a simple, joyful way to keep these stories alive, but the solutions we found were disappointing.

Instead of being warm and inviting, they felt stressful and complicated, like a school project instead of a chance to share meaningful memories.

We saw confusing interfaces, overwhelming empty pages, and rigid formats that took away all the warmth and ease from storytelling.

It became clear: the intention behind these tools was wonderful, but the experience was far from it.

What Makes UponLife Different

Not everyone finds writing easy, but everyone has important stories to share. That's why we made UponLife feel less like writing, and more like chatting with a friend.

When words are hard to find, we gently guide you forward. If you're unsure what to say next, our smart suggestions help you along. You can simply speak your memories, and we turn them into text.

Instead of staring at blank pages, you'll receive thoughtful questions that spark your stories naturally.

And when your stories are complete, we carefully craft them into a beautiful printed book, personalized and timeless.

UponLife makes capturing memories easy and enjoyable, no matter your age or experience with technology.

It's storytelling simplified, connecting generations through the warmth of shared memories.
