I can't remember
what she sounds like.

It's been two years. I have a thousand photos. I can't hear her laugh in any of them. I can't hear her say my name. And once you notice the silence, it doesn't stop.

Why this exists

I lost her when I was a kid.

The founder as a child with his mother in the early years

It's been 15 years. I have photos. I have memories.

But the first thing I forgot was her voice.

That's the part nobody warns you about. Losing someone is the worst feeling there is. Forgetting them is worse. The smell. The laugh. The way they said your name. That's when grief becomes real pain.

This is the video.

I have one video of her. She's filming me ice skating. I'm a kid. She says my name. I fall. She laughs.

Twenty seconds. I've watched it a thousand times. Every time I cry. Not because I'm sad. Because I remember her.

That video is why I built NOVAVO.

Your mom is still here. Your dad is still here. Their voice is still here.

Don't wait. Record them now.

Thomas, founder of NOVAVO

What silence sounds like

I had only one voicemail from Dad. A pocket dial. He didn't even say anything. Six months after he died, I realized I couldn't remember his voice anymore.

My biggest regret isn't the things I didn't say. It's that I have nothing left to play.

They didn't have this kit.

You still have time.

I lost her voice. I refuse to lose his.

How it works

The hard part was never the recording. It was sitting down to do it.

AI Summary

Dad recalls growing up in a two-story colonial on Maple Street in Burlington, Vermont. He describes the wraparound porch where the family gathered on summer evenings, the oak tree he climbed as a boy, and the garden his mother tended. A warm portrait of a close-knit neighborhood in the 1960s.

This works even if…

  • "I can barely get through the day. I don't have the energy for a project."

    This isn't a project. It's one card after dinner. Ten minutes. You pick a question, press the button, and he talks. You don't plan it, schedule it, or prepare for it. You just do one. That's enough.

  • "I'm afraid I'll cry and ruin it."

    You might cry. Most people do. That's fine. The recording doesn't care. Some of the best recordings have a cracked voice or a long pause. That's not ruining it. That's what makes it real. Your grandchildren won't hear the tears. They'll hear his voice.

  • "I don't want to make him feel like he's dying."

    You're not asking him to prepare for death. You're asking him to tell you about his life. There's a difference, and most parents feel it immediately. One user told us her dad said, "I've been waiting 40 years for someone to ask me about this."

  • "He's not tech-savvy."

    He never touches a screen. One button on a recorder. No apps, no WiFi, no accounts, no passwords. It sits on the table and does one thing. You manage everything else after.

  • "We tried StoryWorth and it didn't work."

    StoryWorth asks them to write. Most parents give up because writing feels like homework. This asks them to talk. No typing, no weekly emails, no deadlines. Just a question and a conversation. The difference is the difference between a term paper and a phone call.

  • "What if I can't bring myself to listen?"

    You might not be ready right away. That's okay. The recordings aren't going anywhere. They're saved, organized, and waiting. For next week, next year, or whenever your daughter asks what Grandpa sounded like. Having them and not being ready is a thousand times better than being ready and having nothing.

Your kids will ask one day.

They'll ask what Grandpa sounded like. What he laughed about. What he told you about the day you were born. You'll have something to play. That's the gift.

This won't heal the grief.

But it removes the silence.

One less "I should have." That's what this is.
