How much time do you really have left?
If you see them once a month, and they're 65, here's what that looks like.
Each visit, you could capture 3 stories. That's it. The rest gets lost.
I lost her when I was a kid.
It's been 15 years. I have photos. I have memories. I have a story I tell myself about who she was.
But the first thing I forgot was her voice.
One 20-second video of her is the only thing that makes her feel here now. She's filming me ice skating. She says my name. I fall. She laughs.
I built NOVAVO so other people wouldn't lose what I almost lost.

Three things. That's the whole kit.
No subscriptions. No apps to learn. Nothing you'll have to figure out.
The 150 prompt cards.
Questions that unlock stories you've never heard. Sorted by life chapter. Start light: "What did you get in trouble for as a kid?" Go deeper: "What do you want your grandchildren to know about you?"
Pick a card. Read it out loud. They'll do the rest.
The recorder.
One button. Press it and they talk. No apps. No WiFi. No tech support calls. 20+ hours of studio-clear audio. USB-C to plug into your phone or computer.
If they can press an elevator button, they can use this.
The Legacy Book.
Every recording gets transcribed and organized into chapters. Your family listens from any device. Share with siblings, cousins, your kids.
No subscription. No expiration. Their stories are yours. Permanently.
Not a voicemail.
A legacy.
Every answer becomes a story. Every story becomes a chapter. Hours of their voice, organized for your whole family. Tap through Dad's book.
Pay once. Keep it forever.
No subscription. No expiration. Share with up to 4 family members.
Every week you wait is a story you might not get back.
Not because you don't care. But because memory fades, health changes, and "someday" has a way of becoming too late.
-
Their memory is changing.
The details of old stories. Names, dates, places. These are the first to go. The story exists right now. Next year it might not.
-
You're already forgetting the sound.
A year after they're gone, most people can't recall the sound of their voice. You don't notice it going until it's gone.
-
The moments are happening now.
Dinner conversations. Sunday calls. The stories they always mean to finish. These are the recordings you'll wish you had.
You're in good company
Families who decided not to wait.
"Can't I just use my phone?"
You could. Here's what actually happens.
- "I'll do it later." You never do.
- Apps, storage, a screen between you.
- Lost in the camera roll.
- One upgrade away from gone.
- 150 cards on the table, waiting.
- One button. They just talk.
- Organized into a Legacy Book.
- Saved, shared, kept for good.
Your first Sunday with the kit
- Five minutes in, he laughs at the first card.
- Twenty minutes in, a story you have never heard.
- An hour in, you have his voice. Saying your name.
From families who started
I have a ten second voicemail from my mom and I've played it so many times I'm scared it will wear out. I wasn't going to let that be all I had of my dad too. We've recorded eleven stories now. My daughter will know his voice.
I almost didn't order it. I have a graveyard of good intentions in a drawer: the journal, the scrapbook kit, all of it. This one we actually use. My mom pretends the cards are silly and then talks for an hour.
My son is four. Last week he asked to hear "Grandma on the little box." She passed in March. I can't describe what it did to me to press play and watch him smile at the sound of her voice.
My dad is a man of few words. I figured he would do one card and quit. Three weeks in he asked where the recorder was, because he remembered something else. I have stories about his own father I never knew existed.
I counted once. Over 800 photos of my mom on my phone, and not one recording of her voice. That is the whole reason I bought this. Now I have Sunday afternoons of her talking, not just pictures.
My sister and I each got a kit and linked our accounts. Her book and mine show up for the whole family now. Comparing what Mom told her with what she told me has been the best part.
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 they talk. 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 their voice.
-
"I don't want to make them feel like they're dying."
You're not asking them to prepare for death. You're asking them to tell you about their life. There's a difference, and most people feel it immediately. One user told us her dad said, "I've been waiting 40 years for someone to ask me about this."
-
"They're not tech-savvy."
They never touch 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 people 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 to listen right away. That's okay. The recordings aren't going anywhere. They're saved, organized, and waiting for whenever you need them. Next week, next year, or when your daughter asks what Grandpa sounded like. Having them and not being ready is a thousand times better than being ready and having nothing.
Questions you might have
-
Can't I just use my phone?
You can. But you haven't. That's the honest answer. The cards on the table are a reminder to actually sit down. The recorder means no texts interrupting, no notifications, no accidentally hitting stop. And everything gets organized into a Legacy Book your whole family can listen to, not buried in your camera roll, one phone upgrade away from gone.
-
How is this different from StoryWorth?
StoryWorth is writing. Weekly email prompts. They type answers. Compiled into a printed book. Most never finish because writing about your life feels like homework. This is voice. They just talk. You get their actual voice. The laugh, the accent, the pause before the punchline. One-time $79. No subscription. And they don't need to touch a computer.
-
What if they say no?
Very few people refuse when you keep it small. Don't say "I want to record your life story." Say "I got these story cards, can we try one after dinner?" One question. That's it. Once they start talking, they usually won't stop.
-
Is $79 worth it?
You've spent more on a dinner you don't remember. This gives your grandchildren their grandfather's voice. His stories, his laugh, the way he says their name. Twenty years from now, that recording is the most valuable thing in the family.
-
What's the return policy?
30 days. Full refund. Contact support@getnovavo.com to start a return.
-
What do I actually get in the box?
The voice recorder (one button, 20+ hours, USB-C cable), 150 prompt cards sorted by life chapter, instruction cards, and access to the Legacy Book app where everything gets organized and shared with your family. No subscription. No extra costs.
You're still in time.
Every Sunday you don't sit down is a story you might never hear.
Not because you don't care. Because life moves fast and "someday" keeps feeling safe, until it isn't.
The Voice Preservation Kit. 150 prompt cards. One-button recorder. Their voice, their stories, organized in a Legacy Book your whole family shares. For generations.
One less "I should have." That's what this is.
