Capture family stories
Use guided prompts to record parents, grandparents, relatives, and chosen family — without making anyone write, organize, or perform.
Start here →The living archive for family stories
Your family's stories, preserved for generations.
Corrido is the private system where your family captures stories, traditions, memories, and history — then organizes them into a living archive future generations can actually understand.
Stories are the beginning. Corrido connects them by people, themes, places, values, and context — so your family can return to them, understand them, and add to them over time.
Contribute your own context
Add the stories, values, traditions, and explanations your family will one day wish they could ask you about directly.

We're onboarding families in small groups as we build the long-term home for private family stories.
What disappears first
What gets lost is the context behind the story
Families carry more than stories. They carry names, migrations, recipes, beliefs, warnings, sacrifices, inside jokes, and the reasons behind choices that shaped everyone who came after.
But those stories usually live in scattered conversations, camera rolls, old messages, and the memories of people who may never think to write them down.
Corrido gives those stories a place to land: voices connected to people, people connected to family history, and stories organized so future generations can understand not only what happened — but why it mattered.

The system
A system for preserving family stories
Corrido does not stop at recording stories. It turns conversations, memories, and context into a structured archive your family can build on for decades.
Each conversation becomes part of a larger record: who said it, who it connects to, what themes it belongs to, and why it matters to the family.
The result is not a one-time memory project. It is shared family infrastructure: capture once, organize continuously, and pass down with context intact.
Capture
Guided conversations collect stories, traditions, lessons,
and memories in someone's own voice.
Organize
Stories connect to people, branches, places, topics, prompts,
and relationships.
Preserve
A private archive grows over time so future generations can
search, understand, and add to it.
How it starts
Capture stories through simple conversations
The hardest part is rarely recording. It's knowing what to ask. Corrido gives families thoughtful prompts that uncover the meaning behind everyday stories without turning the moment into homework.
- Family history, traditions, and turning points
- Life lessons, values, and the context behind choices
Record in the room, on a walk, or during a long call. Save the voice, capture the meaning, and let the archive become more useful one conversation at a time.
Recording
What story are you preserving?
Choose a topic, name the speaker, and let Corrido guide the conversation at human speed.
My story
Share your own stories, lessons, and context.
Their story
Record a parent, grandparent, relative, or elder.

How it becomes useful
A family graph for stories, people, and context
A family tree shows relationships. Corrido goes further by connecting people to the stories, places, lessons, and traditions attached to them.
That means future family members can search for a person, a branch, a topic, or a moment — and find the voices and context that make the history feel alive.
The goal is not a perfect genealogy chart on day one. It is a growing, private system where each new story makes the family record more useful, searchable, and meaningful.

Why it works as a platform
The archive becomes more useful every time someone contributes, connects, or searches.
Everyone can contribute
Interview someone today, record your own context tomorrow, and invite more relatives as the archive grows.
Stories become easier to find
Stories connect to people, themes, prompts, and relationships so your family can actually find and understand them later.
Private by default
Built for households and future generations — not public feeds, engagement metrics, or strangers scrolling by.

Built for family trust
Corrido is designed for private family spaces. The goal is to preserve stories for relatives and future generations — not publish it to a public audience.
Questions
Is Corrido just for recording grandparents?
No. Corrido is for anyone whose stories belong in the family archive — grandparents, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and chosen family.
What makes this different from a folder of videos?
A folder stores files. Corrido connects stories to people, prompts, topics, and family relationships so the archive becomes easier to search, understand, and pass down.
What happens after I get into the beta?
We'll send instructions to install the test build. Then you can create or join a family space, record your first story, and begin building your archive one conversation at a time.
Do I need a family tree before I record anything?
No. Start with one conversation. Add people, relationships, and themes as the archive grows. The family graph gives stories a home — it is not a requirement to begin.
Why voice instead of only text?
Voice preserves warmth, pacing, names, laughter, and emotion that text often loses. Corrido can still help organize the meaning around what was said.
Will this be available beyond iPhone?
iPhone-first today. Other platforms may follow; the focus stays on private, durable family stories.
