Why Ever Known exists
Ever Known is designed as a private, portable life archive in which owners create for free, invited viewers receive only permitted material, and original memories, permissions, corrections, and source labels remain authoritative.
A meaningful digital legacy should preserve the person's own words and work for trusted people regardless of whether they use iOS or Android. Ever Known is being built around durable originals, precise sharing choices, attributed contributions, free Shared Essentials, Premium to already-granted non-AI records, and an honest boundary around AI Conversations, which are Coming Soon and are not sold at launch.
It is designed for living people and trusted families who want to preserve stories, voice, photographs, relationships, values, future messages, and source context across iOS and Android with explicit consent.
Create your own archive for free
Write memories, record your voice, preserve photographs, video, and documents, and connect entries to the people and moments that give them meaning. Owners do not need a subscription to create or manage their own archive.
This capability supports the larger Ever Known promise: preserve a life in their own words. It is most useful when it stays connected to the rest of the workflow instead of becoming an isolated screen or score.
Share permission—not ownership
Invite a specific person and decide which records they may receive. Relationship labels, trustee status, and payment never create permission, while Only Me and Never Share records remain unavailable to viewers.

Start viewers with Shared Essentials
An invited viewer can use Basic to access records the owner both permitted and marked as Shared Essentials. Private records never appear as a reward for subscribing.

Unlock the complete granted archive
Premium is $4.99/month or $39.99/year. It supports preservation, up to 5 GB of synchronized original media, family and legacy workflows, portable backup, and all non-AI records already granted by the owner. It cannot broaden the owner’s permission.

Move between iOS and Android
The same Ever Known account, invitations, owner permissions, archive records, and verified subscription entitlement work across both platforms through the authenticated shared service.

AI conversations are Coming Soon
Ever Known AI will include Premium plus AI interviews, adaptive questioning, knowledge-gap analysis, grounded conversational representation, AI organization and extraction, and separately consented synthetic conversational voice. Its planned price is $12.99/month or $99.99/year, but it remains Coming Soon and unavailable for purchase.

Availability, privacy, and honest limits
Ever Known is coming soon. This guide explains the current published product direction so readers can understand the planned experience without implying that a public store release is already available.
Ever Known is in development for iOS and Android and is not presented as a public download until the store listings are ready. Local-first apps use an authenticated shared service for cross-platform accounts, invitations, uploaded records, media, permissions, and verified Premium entitlements. Only Me and Never Share records remain unavailable to viewers, and AI processing is not part of the launch release.
