Our lives are documented everywhere, across decades of text messages, emails, photos, videos, calendars, voice notes, and handwritten journals. These memories are meaningful, but they are scattered across devices, platforms, and physical keepsakes, making them difficult to preserve together.
LifeWeaver brings these pieces into one place, helping you create a living, searchable, and shareable story that connects families across generations, with privacy, security, and control built in at every step.
On the LifeWeaver platform, you can add a personal reflection for the day, or choose not to. LifeWeaver can help surface relevant details from the rest of your digital footprint, automatically bringing together moments already captured in messages, emails, or photos. Many of the most meaningful parts of our stories are written to friends and family and then lost in conversation threads. LifeWeaver helps preserve those moments without requiring you to document them twice, and nothing is included without your approval.
With Weave the Past, you can securely connect years of existing memories from your smartphone and other digital sources. You can also add older phones, computers, hard drives, and scanned handwritten journals, allowing LifeWeaver to digitize their contents while preserving images of the originals so they can be shared with family when and how you choose.
This can be especially meaningful when preserving the story of someone who has passed away. When you have access to their digital materials, LifeWeaver helps bring those scattered pieces together into a thoughtful narrative that honors their life while keeping sensitive information private and protected.
LifeWeaver is the place where scattered memories come together, helping you preserve today’s moments as tomorrow’s family history, securely and on your terms.

ConnectMyVariant uses family history to prevent hereditary disease. We are a community of families with variants in cancer or heart disease risk genes such as BRCA1, LDLR, or MYH7.

Connecting with each other helps grow our family trees and find relatives who would benefit from clinical genetic testing and prevention.
