Our lives are made up of many stories that spark laughter, gratitude, and love. We share stories to pass down hard-earned life lessons and because they bring joy to us and the people we share them with. A story can be that small moment of mishap with your friend, a piece of advice you want to pass on to your children, or that first time you cooked with Mom.
My Stories Matter leverages the latest academic knowledge in psychology and memory to deliver an age-friendly app that helps you easily recall, collaborate, organize, and share your stories safely, securely, and confidentially.
See how My Stories Matter is the best digital platform to reminisce on, all for free to you.

We do not sell or share any of your personal data. My Stories Matter has no advertisements and no third party access.
Our memories are precious to us. We don't want our memories of our mother's cooking, our father's sage advice, or our private moments with friends to be sold to the highest bidder. Unlike other social media sites, we do NOT share or sell the content of your stories, or any information about you, to third parties.
We treat your memories the same way we want our own memories to be treated: with the privacy they deserve.

Our digital platform is completely free to use! No charges now, no charges later. We want you to have a space to reminisce freely on without the worry of taxes and fees.
Our lives are shaped by the memories we shared with family and friends. The stories tied to those memories matter and are worth preserving for the benefit of ourselves, our family, and friends. As we age, we become more vulnerable to losing these precious stories. Keep your memories safe by moving them from the hard drive between your ears to the Cloud.
Other social media feeds are cluttered with ads, trivial posts and memes, news pushed by an algorithm, and posts from people we barely know. My Stories Matter is different. We focus on helping people preserve and share their important stories and memories with family and close friends.
No ads, no junk, no invasion of privacy. My Stories Matter is designed by Baby Boomers for Baby Boomers, not by Millennials for Millennials. We understand how people’s needs and interests change as we age, so My Stories Matter was purpose-built to be age-friendly.
Unlike Facebook and other apps, we do NOT add trackers to follow you around everywhere you browse on the internet – even when you have logged out. “Everywhere?” Yes, unfortunately, that’s what they do. “Even when I’m not using Facebook?” Yep!
We know your memories and stories are priceless, so we do everything possible to ensure that you never lose them. My Stories Matter runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is the most reliable and widely-used web services platform on the planet. For added protection, we use AWS to maintain comprehensive backups of all memories, photos, comments, and other content you create or upload.
Your memories are only viewable by the users to whom you have expressly given individual viewing permission. Even better, this high degree of sharing control can be set on a memory by memory basis.
You can also create your own private circles of family and friends, called Friend Circles.
All memories are encrypted so that even My Stories Matter employees can not view them.
We're very proud of our privacy settings. They're the strongest and most comprehensive you'll find anywhere in social media. In fact, our focus on privacy is one of our most important and defining features.
Yes, you can. We understand that you've spent a lot of time recollecting and recording your memories. Your family and friends may have also spent valuable time contributing to, and collaborating on, those memories. To protect all that heartfelt effort, we ensure that you have the ability to easily access and download your memories at any time.
