Show them what they mean to you
A life is best told through many voices
The stories and photos of a life are scattered across everyone who knows them. Aatlas gathers them in one place, so a friend's memory sits beside a colleague's and a neighbor's, and together they show who someone really is.
How Aatlas can help
Aatlas makes it easy
The questions people ask before they begin, and what Aatlas does about each one.
“Will this be one more thing for them to do?”
They don't have to do all the work
An Aatlas gathers memories from everyone who knows them, so the story never rests on one person.
Friends, colleagues, neighbors and relatives each add what only they know, often photos and stories you've never seen. They add from the link in their invitation, free and with no account.

“Can they talk instead of type?”
Speak a memory, and Aatlas writes it down
Sit with them and record a memory in their own voice, and Aatlas writes it down for you.

“What do I even ask?”
Questions that get the stories started
Aatlas suggests questions across ten parts of a life, so nobody faces a blank page. The questions adapt to how you know them, once you tell us.
Each answer becomes a memory everyone in their Aatlas can enjoy.

Questions
Can it be ready for their birthday?
It's ready to enjoy from the first memory. Play the 1-Click Slideshow full screen at the party, and leave it running on a loop.
What if they're not comfortable with technology?
A phone is enough. The people you invite tap one link, with no account to create, and you can add memories on their behalf.
Who can see it?
Only the people you invite. Nothing is public unless you ask us to make it public.
Will it ever be finished?
There's nothing to finish. It keeps growing for as long as people keep adding.
Can I keep it a surprise?
Yes. Start their Aatlas yourself, gather memories with the people who know them, and invite them in when you're ready.
What does it cost?
$99, once, with no subscription. The people you invite never pay.
Pay once. No subscription, ever.
Two ways to begin
Give it to them as a gift, or start it yourself and show them when you're ready.
