A Digital Legacy App for the Story of Your Life
Eterna helps you preserve the memories, stories, voice, values, family history, and meaningful moments that make you who you are — so the people who come after you inherit more than names, dates, and scattered files.
Your life is already being recorded — just not in one meaningful place
There is more of you stored right now than at any point in history: thousands of photos, videos nobody has labelled, message threads, cloud folders, and social posts spread across accounts with different passwords. It looks like an archive. It behaves like a pile.
What's missing isn't storage. It's meaning — who is in the photo, why that afternoon mattered, what you were thinking at the time, and what you'd want someone to take from it. That context lives in one place only, and it leaves when you do. What a digital legacy actually is covers the distinction in more detail.
What a digital legacy can preserve
Stories, not just files
AI-guided interviews ask the questions nobody thinks to ask — childhood, turning points, the advice you'd want repeated. Answers become chapters you can keep adding to.
Your voice
Voice preservation means future generations don't only read your words — they hear how you said them. Cloned voice is available on the Heirloom tier.
Values and perspective
What you believed, how you decided things, what you'd warn someone about. The part of a person that usually survives only as second-hand paraphrase.
Family history and relationships
A family tree with people, relationships, and the traditions and inside jokes that explain why a family behaves the way it does.
Meaningful moments, dated forward
Seal a letter or a blessing in a time capsule and set it to open at a graduation, a wedding, or a birthday you may not be there for.
A story your family can talk with
Your archive becomes an interactive persona grounded only in what you actually shared, with generated responses clearly labelled as generated.
If you're weighing where to begin, our guides on recording your life story and preserving your voice are the most practical starting points.
More than a family tree
Genealogy is genuinely valuable work. It establishes who existed — names, dates, places, the shape of a family across generations. Eterna is aimed at a different question: who they were.
A record can tell your great-grandchild that you were born in a particular year and lived in a particular town. It can't tell them how you told a joke, what you thought about the year everything went wrong, or the advice you gave the same way every time. Eterna keeps a family tree too — but the tree is a way into the people, not the point.
The longer comparison lives in digital legacy vs. traditional memorial, and how an AI memorial works explains what is generated and what isn't.
For your life now — and for the people who come after you
Eterna is built for living people first. Most of what's in it gets used while you're here: stories read aloud at a birthday, a recording played for a grandchild, a family question finally settled because someone wrote down what actually happened.
An archive in active use is also the one that survives, because it's the one that keeps getting maintained. Sealed messages and digital time capsules handle the future part — a letter that opens at a wedding, a blessing timed for a thirtieth birthday.
How Eterna works

Eterna asks gently and keeps track. Add photos, media, people, and traditions as they come to mind.
Preserve your voice
Record readings of your own stories so the archive carries how you sound, not just what you said.
Decide who inherits it
Choose what stays private, what is shared, and when sealed messages open for the people they're meant for.

Common questions
What is a digital legacy app?
A digital legacy app is a place to deliberately preserve the parts of a life that normally get lost: stories, voice, values, relationships, and the moments behind the photos. Eterna guides that capture with prompts, stores it privately, and turns it into something family can revisit later.
Is Eterna only for people who have died?
No. Eterna is built for living people first. You can start your own legacy today and add to it over years. Families can also create a memorial for someone who has passed, using the memories, letters, and recordings they already have.
What can I preserve in Eterna?
Stories captured through AI-guided interviews, photos and media, your voice, family relationships and traditions in a family tree, sealed time capsules and future messages, and an auto-generated lifebook stitched from your chapters. Voice cloning is available on the Heirloom tier.
When should I start a digital legacy?
While the person whose story it is can still tell it. Most loss happens quietly — a memory is never asked about, and then it can't be. Starting early also means the archive grows in ordinary moments rather than urgent ones.
Is my content private?
Yes. Everything in Eterna is private by default. You choose what is shared, who can see it, and when future messages open, and you can export or delete your content at any time.
Eterna. Your legacy. Their tomorrow.
Start with one story. Add to it when you think of the next one. The version of this archive that matters is the one that exists.
