Flashback is a privacy-focused AI app that listens to your life stories as you share them in audio chats with our voice assistant, finds the moments that matter, and quietly documents them in a private space you control – so you don’t have to risk forgetting them.
You Talk; Flashback organizes your memories around people, time, and emotion, and keeps them safe for the future.

How it works
• Tap the mic & talk
Share a moment with your child, a call with your mom, an old story from school, or something that happened today. No typing, no complicated setup – talk naturally. Your voice is processed securely & stays tied to your account, not a public profile.
• Our AI finds the “Flashbacks” in what you say
As you speak, Flashback detects the important moments – who it was about, what happened, when & where it took place, and why it mattered. These are saved as structured memories in your private timeline.
• Your memories become Memory Orbs
Each important moment is turned into a Memory Orb – a visual, emotion-filled capsule that holds the story, the people involved, and key details. Orbs are private by default and are meant to feel like a safe container for your most meaningful moments.
⸻
What are Memory Orbs?
Memory Orbs are living containers for your memories:
• A snapshot of a moment, with the story attached
• Linked to the people you talked about (family, friends, partners, kids)
• Organized by time, emotion, and relationships
• Saved in one private place you can return to, any time
They are designed so you can quickly recall not just what happened, but how it felt – without exposing your memories to a public feed or an ad-driven social network.

Why do this? How it helps you
• Remember more than photos can
Most moments are never photographed. Flashback helps you capture those small, everyday stories that would normally fade.
• Reduce the mental load of “trying to remember everything”
Instead of holding everything in your head, you can speak it out & trust that it is safely stored and organized for later.
• See your life through the people who matter
Because Memory Orbs are linked to people, you can explore “Memories with Mom,” “Us as a family,” or “My journey with my best friend” without manual tagging.
• Build something you and your loved ones can look back on
Over time, you create a private archive of your life story that can help you reflect, heal, feel grateful, and stay connected to the people & moments that shaped you.
⸻
Privacy, everywhere in the experience
Privacy is not an afterthought in Flashback – it is built into every part of the app:
• Private by default
There is no public timeline or “discover” feed. What you say and the Orbs you create are for you, unless you explicitly choose to share something.
• You stay in control
You can edit or delete any Memory Orb or recording. You decide what stays, what goes, and what never leaves your device.
• No ad-based use of your memories
Your stories are not collected to build ad profiles or sold to data brokers. They exist to power your own private memory experience.
• Secure processing
Your data is handled with modern security practices and safe AI infrastructure designed to treat your memories as sensitive, not as content to be exploited.

Who Flashback is for
• Adult children capturing stories about (and with) parents or grandparents
• Parents who want to preserve more than just photos of their kids
• Anyone who wants a private, AI-assisted way to document their life story
• People who find journaling hard but talking easy
• Anyone afraid of forgetting special moments over time
• Anyone grieving or missing loved ones they cannot make new memories with, but still want to remember and honor

Early access – v0.1
This early version of Flashback AI focuses on one promise:
We turn your life stories into private, organized Memory Orbs – so the moments that shape you do not disappear, and the people you love are always part of a story you can return to.
