The problem behind Ever Known
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 built around durable originals, precise sharing choices, attributed contributions, free Shared Essentials, Premium access to already-granted non-AI records, and subscriber-only AI text conversations grounded in permission-filtered archive sources.
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.
Ever Known 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. The goal is not to add another screen to the day; it is to make the complete decision or experience easier to understand from beginning to end.
One connected experience beats a pile of separate tools
Preserve the stories—and the person behind them. Ever Known brings memories, voice, values, relationships, traditions, and everyday details into one thoughtful archive.
Begin with 500 guided questions, preserve original memories and media, and choose who may access each item. Archive creation is free; optional plans remain inside the owner’s permissions.
- Basic — create your 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 can create and manage their archive with up to 250 MB of synchronized original media. Invited viewers can receive records the owner both permits and marks as Shared Essentials.
- Premium — preserve and share the complete granted archive: Premium’s U.S. list price is $4.99/month or $39.99/year. It includes 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. The app shows final localized pricing before purchase.
- Ever Known AI — ask questions grounded in preserved sources: Ever Known AI’s U.S. list price is $12.99/month or $99.99/year and includes Premium plus source-grounded AI text conversations subject to monthly usage limits. It requires an active entitlement and the archive owner’s separate consent for AI processing and representation. Unsupported questions receive an honest “I don’t know” response. Synthetic or cloned voice is not enabled.
- 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.
- 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.
The details that earn a place in the routine
Ask before recording: Consent for one story, photograph, or voice sample is not unlimited permission for every future use. Explain the purpose and preserve the choice made.
Keep attribution visible: A family contribution should remain identified as that contributor's memory or perspective rather than being presented as something the profile owner personally said.
Keep the AI boundary clear: Generated text must remain visibly separate from original human material, use only permitted archive sources, and answer “I don’t know” when those sources do not support a response. Synthetic or cloned voice remains a future feature and is not enabled.
Useful promises need honest boundaries
Ever Known is available now through the official store links on its Goodale Studios product page. Store availability, compatibility, and purchase terms shown by Apple or Google control the download.
Ever Known is available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store and for Android on Google Play. The apps use an authenticated shared service for cross-platform accounts, invitations, uploaded records, media, permissions, and verified subscription entitlements. Grounded AI text conversations additionally require the owner’s separate AI authorization, and Only Me, Never Share, and otherwise unauthorized records remain unavailable to viewers and AI retrieval.
The result that matters
The archive succeeds when the person's own material remains primary, every shared item follows an understandable permission, contributions and interpretations stay labeled, and the record can be exported and reviewed without inventing certainty.
That is the standard behind Ever Known: a focused app should leave the next decision clearer, the completed work or play session more satisfying, and the value easier to explain than it was before the first tap.
