StoryCatcher: Preserving the Spoken Voices of Our Elders

"Sit down together over a cup of tea, before the stories are lost forever."

🇮🇪 The Irish Memory Window

82%
of Irish grandparents have regular weekly contact with grandchildren — the bond is alive.
Eurostat & CSO Family Life Study
1 Million+
people in Ireland will be aged 60+ by 2030, holding living memories of a bygone Ireland.
CSO Population Projections
⏳ The 2-Generation Memory Cliff

Without voice recordings, 90% of family memories (living through rural electrification, the 1971 Decimalisation, the 1979 Papal visit, and dance halls) vanish completely by the time great-grandchildren are born.

🎙️ Why Audio-Only? The Pressure-Free Sanctuary
Pure Spoken Voice
Invisible & unforced. A phone resting beside the teapot captures the natural laugh, the quiet pause, and regional cadence.
Video Recording
Intimidating & performative. Triggers acute camera-shyness, lighting hassles, and self-consciousness about aging.
🛡️ Zero-Knowledge Archival Vault

Military-Grade AES-256 Client-Side Encryption

🔐
Encrypted Before Leaving Your Device: Voice recordings and names are encrypted on your phone or tablet using AES-GCM 256 before any data reaches the cloud.
🔑
Family-Held Keys Only: No company employee, cloud host, or outsider can listen to your audio. Only devices on your family account hold the private decryption keys.
🚫
Zero AI Training & Zero Ads: Your private family stories are never mined, never sold, and never fed into public AI models. Absolute permanent deletion rights.
