Verbatim Forever
Every word you say is preserved exactly as spoken — never rewritten, summarized, or polished. Other services edit your words into tidy prose. We never touch them. That is the Verbatim Law.
Tell yours in your own voice — privately, with family, or with the world.
Your first conversation is free — five minutes, no credit card.
The stories are ready now. So is the voice that tells them.
HOW IT WORKS
You talk. It listens, and keeps every word exactly as you said it.
One question at a time, and it waits while you think.
Kept word for word, exactly as you said it.
Private, family, one person, or everyone — story by story.
Your actual recording, in your actual voice.
Optional: an Avatar that answers in your own words, and a finished book for after you’re gone.
Three ways in
Thirty seconds each. Sound on if you can — the narration is the walkthrough.
Some stories only come out when someone asks. You can set Quiddity up for someone you love — you handle the details, they just talk. A Biographer asks the questions. Your dad answers in his own voice. Every word he says is kept exactly as he said it. Nothing cleaned up. Nothing smoothed over. Just him. When he's ready, the archive is his.
You don't have to be old to have a life worth keeping. Once a week you sit down somewhere quiet, and Quiddity asks you something. You talk. It listens. It remembers what you said last time, so the story builds. No writing. No editing. No performance. Just your voice, kept exactly as you spoke it.
You know something nobody wrote down. Forty years of hands on the same work. How you read the water. What you learned the hard way. Quiddity asks the questions that get it out of you — and keeps every word the way you said it. Not a manual. Not a summary. The way you'd tell it to someone who asked.
Built for a life still being lived
Every word you say is preserved exactly as spoken — never rewritten, summarized, or polished. Other services edit your words into tidy prose. We never touch them. That is the Verbatim Law.
Ask your Avatar a question and it answers with the story you actually told, word for word — and the people you invite can ask it too. The Avatar is included with the Full Legacy pack. Any other archive can add it with a one-time Avatar Activation.
Every story has its own audience: just you, your family, one specific person, or everyone. Until you invite someone, your stories are yours alone, and you can change who hears each one at any time.
An optional Legacy area holds the later chapters. Memorial Mode, meant for after you’re gone, closes your archive as a finished book, shared with the people you named. Only a Guardian you have chosen can request it, you are emailed the moment they do, and you have 72 hours to cancel.
Sessions happen out loud, in your web browser on a computer, tablet or phone. There is nothing to type and nothing to install.

Common questions
Today the Avatar does not use a clone of your voice: when it cannot play your original recording, it speaks your words in a stand-in voice. Your voice recordings and transcripts are never sold, and are never used for advertising. Voice processing is provided by ElevenLabs (in the United States) and is consented to explicitly during signup. If a copy of your voice is ever made, you can delete it yourself at any time in Account → Data & Privacy. Your recordings and stories stay.
Yes. You can permanently delete any story yourself from Account → Data & Privacy, and its stored files are removed within a day. For deletion of your entire account and all associated data, a written request under our Privacy Policy is honoured within 30 days, with backups clearing within a further 30 days; payment records are retained for 7 years as Canadian tax law requires. One exception: Memorial Mode permanently seals an archive. Only a Guardian you have chosen can request it, you are emailed the moment they do, and you have 72 hours to cancel. Once it completes, that archive can no longer be changed or deleted.
Your session credits never expire. Record on your own schedule — one session this month, the next whenever you're ready. And if you change your mind, here is the policy in full: No paid sessions recorded: full refund within 14 days — your free warmup never counts; Partly used: a refund for the sessions you haven’t recorded, within 14 days; All sessions used: contact us and we’ll review it together.
Yes — many families start Quiddity for a parent or grandparent. During signup, uncheck “I am the person whose story will be preserved,” confirm you're authorized to consent on their behalf, and enter their name. The archive is created as theirs, and you help them participate in sessions — many of the best recordings happen with family in the room.
Read our guide for familiesOnly what you allow. Every Guardian has a “Can view stories while I'm alive” permission that you control, and every story carries its own audience setting — only you, family, one specific person, or everyone. Stories marked “Only me” are never visible to anyone else, and stories you set to release on memorial stay sealed until Memorial Mode is activated. Only a Guardian you have chosen can request it, you are emailed the moment they do, and you have 72 hours to cancel. These rules are enforced at the database layer, not just in the app.
It means three specific things, and we would rather be exact than reassuring. Your recordings and your word-for-word transcripts are yours: once saved, a transcript is never edited, and only you can change a story — by re-recording it. You can download your whole archive as a PDF today, from Account → Export Your Archive; you do not have to ask us, and it is not a paid extra. And there is no subscription — every purchase is one-time and your session credits never expire, so nothing is ever deleted because a payment stopped.
