1Start it.
Add a photo and chat about it. Memtastic asks a few simple questions, one at a time. Who’s in it? Where were you? What was going on? In a couple of minutes, the core backstory is captured and saved with the photo.
2Add to it.
Each chat after the first adds to the backstory. Mom opens the photo and shares what she remembers. Your brother fixes the year. A grandkid asks a question nobody thought of. No one’s telling gets overwritten — the photo stays the same, while the story behind it keeps growing.

Nags Head, summer of ’87
Jim and me at Nags Head in the summer of ’87, our first year in the blue house on the sound side. Mom took the picture from her beach chair. We worked on that castle all afternoon, and Jim swears the green bucket was his. When the tide came in, Dad refused to move.
3Keep it going.
A text brings the memory back to each family member at the pace they choose — weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. A photo, and one good question. They can take a moment to remember, or chat about it. Whatever is shared is kept with the photo, and the next question picks up where the last one left off.
The more you chat about it, the richer it gets.
Texts get read. App alerts get swiped away.
Why it feels good.
Telling your own story to people who care about it is one of the best things a person can do with an old photo. Researchers have studied it for sixty years. They call it reminiscence. Families call it Sunday dinner.
Every parent has stories.
Memtastic was built for them first. Add a few photos once, and it texts your parent a photo and something to talk about, on a pace you set. They tell. The family asks. They stay engaged.
