From the family book
The Bakery on Maple Street
Every Saturday my father woke us before the sun did, because the bakery on Maple Street sold out of cinnamon rolls by eight and he considered that a personal challenge.
We’d stand on the cold sidewalk in our pajama tops, and he’d tell the baker, same as always: “Two for the kids, one for their mother, and one for the road.”…
A sample legend, read aloud by an AI storyteller voice.
How it works
1. Just talk
Tell the story the way you would at the dinner table. Ten minutes, tops — or type it if you'd rather.
2. We write it down beautifully
In minutes it becomes a warm, well-told story. Don't like a line? Leave a note on it and it's fixed — the rest stays yours.
3. Your family keeps it forever
Every story joins a private book of legends, with the photos, the voices, and the people who were there.
The part you’ll be glad you kept
Someday, the voice telling the story will matter as much as the story.
Every legend can be read aloud in the storyteller’s own voice — with their permission — and the original recording stays with the story, always.
What makes Hey Legends different
Three tellings of every story
The raw telling, word for word. A polished retelling in their own words. And the storybook legend. All three are kept.
Their voice, forever
Stories can be narrated in the storyteller's own voice, and the original recording is never thrown away.
One book per circle
A book for the family, one for old friends, one just for you. One person can belong to them all.
Private by default
- Books are invite-only. Nobody sees your family’s stories unless you hand them the key.
- Every story has its own visibility — keep it to yourself, share it with the circle, or pass along a link when you choose to.
- Only the storyteller can ever edit or delete their story. Nobody else. Ever.
Questions, answered plainly
Is it hard for my mother to use?
No. She talks — that's the whole job. It works right in her phone's web browser, with one big button to press. If she can tell a story at the kitchen table, she can use Hey Legends.
Is it private?
Yes. Every book is invite-only and private by default. Each story also has its own setting, so a storyteller can keep something just for themselves, share it with the circle, or pass along a link — it's always their call.
What happens to the recordings?
They're kept, right alongside the story — the original telling, in her own voice, hers forever. Nothing gets thrown away.
Does she need to install anything?
No. Hey Legends works in the browser her phone already has — nothing to download, no account setup beyond a name and a PIN. And soon, guided story prompts will mean you never have to wonder what to ask her.
