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 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.
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
Ever Known is a private place to record the stories, voice, people, values, traditions, advice, and ordinary details that make someone uniquely themselves—and share only what they choose.
Basic is free for archive creation, up to 250 MB of synchronized original media, and Shared Essentials. Premium is $4.99/month or $39.99/year for preservation, up to 5 GB of synchronized original media, family and legacy workflows, portable backup, and every non-AI record the owner already granted. Ever Known AI is Coming Soon at $12.99/month or $99.99/year and is not for sale.
- 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.
- 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.
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 future AI boundary clear: AI Conversations are Coming Soon, not included at launch. If introduced later, generated interpretation must remain visibly separate from original human material and grounded only in permitted sources.
Useful promises need honest boundaries
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.
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.
