Photos and brief obituaries can’t capture the complexity of a human life. When you lose someone, you need space to gather the stories that reveal their character: the funny incidents, the struggles they overcame, the advice they’d give.
Honouring Lives: Remember Loved Ones Together
Keep their memory part of family life
Those stories are scattered across the family, each relative holding pieces the others have never heard, and they are clearest now.
Simirity, a private family journal app, helps your family gather their stories from every perspective, weaving photos, audio and video into a lasting tribute that preserves not just what they looked like, but who they really were.

Your Questions Answered
How is Simirity different from traditional memorial websites?
Traditional memorial sites are isolated spaces that sit separate from family life. Simirity integrates memorial profiles into your family’s ongoing story collection, keeping loved ones as a natural part of conversations and anniversary reminders rather than forgotten pages you visit once a year.

Can multiple family members contribute to one person's memorial?
Yes, through both co-authoring stories and individual story contributions. This collaborative approach creates far richer memorials than any single person could build, capturing different relationships and perspectives.
What if I don't know exact dates for events in their life?
Flexible dates let you record whatever precision you have—exact dates, year ranges (“1965-1967”), or months (“June 1982 – August 1982”).
Is there a limit to how many memorial profiles I can create?
There is no limit. Create profiles for recent losses, parents, grandparents, or distant ancestors—anyone whose memory you want preserved for future generations.
Can I include audio and video recordings in memorial profiles?
Yes. Combine photos, videos, audio recordings, and written text within stories.
What happens to memorial profiles when I pass away?
Memorial profiles remain accessible to family members you’ve granted access. You can designate family administrators who can manage the account, so these precious memories pass to the next generation rather than getting locked behind forgotten passwords.
Can I control who sees memorial content?
Yes. Each story has granular privacy controls—share with entire extended family or limit to immediate family only. Some memories are for everyone, others are more personal. You decide who accesses what, just like with all Simirity stories.
How do anniversary reminders work for memorial stories?
The app notifies you when stories happened on today’s date in past years. These gentle reminders keep their memory alive throughout the year.
