A private space for family memories

“When a loved one dies, a library burns to the ground.”

Nenapu keeps that library safe. Your family asks the questions. The person you love answers in short recordings, in the language they think in. Everything stays private, and it stays yours.

The Nenapu app showing a grandmother's recorded memories, with questions in Kannada
How it works

One person starts it. The whole family fills it.

You don't need everyone on board to begin. Start with one question you've always wanted to ask.

1

Start a project

Pick who it's for and add their name. Takes about two minutes.

2

Ask real questions

Use our question library or write your own. “How did you two meet?” beats “tell me about your life.”

3

Answers in their voice

A big, simple screen in their language. Two taps to record. No account needed.

4

Watch together

Each answer becomes a short clip your family can watch, comment on, and keep.

Made for the person answering

Built for someone who has never installed an app

  • The whole screen is in their language, not just the questions.
  • No account, no password. You tell them a six-digit code over the phone, they type it in, and they're in.
  • Recording is two taps. Big text, one thing per screen.
  • They answer whenever they feel like it. There is no deadline.

The recording screen in Kannada: a question from a granddaughter, with one large record button
Who it's for

Four kinds of stories worth keeping

A parent or grandparent

The stories, recipes and advice you keep meaning to record.

Yourself

A private, dated journal in your own voice. Nobody sees it unless you choose.

You and your partner

Two people, one shared record of how it all happened. Strictly the two of you.

Your child

Their fourth birthday, in their own words. A childhood kept as it sounded.

A quiet promise

This is not another feed

INSTAGRAM · YOUTUBE

A stage

Built for strangers. You perform, an algorithm picks the audience, and ads pay for it.

GOOGLE PHOTOS

A drawer

Stores what you already shot. It never asks your mother a question.

NENAPU

A private room

Invite-only, for family and friends. Questions draw out what was never recorded.

We're looking for a few families

Nenapu is new, and we're building it with the first families who use it. The pilot is free. In return we'll ask what confused you, what felt right, and what you'd want next.

If there's someone whose stories you keep meaning to record, leave your details and we'll get you set up personally.

We'll only use your email to write to you about the pilot, and nothing else.

Thank you. We'll write to you soon — usually within a day or two.
