Questions, answered
The things families ask us most, before they start.
What is LifeMantle?
LifeMantle is a private, invite-only place for your family to gather photos, milestones, letters, and your family's story — kept safe today and handed down over time.
Is LifeMantle really private?
Yes. Every family lives in its own private, invite-only space. Future Letters and the photo vault are end-to-end encrypted in your browser, and nothing is public, sold, or used to train AI models.
How much does it cost?
There's a free Keepsake tier to start, a Family plan for growing families, and a Legacy plan with unlimited members. During our beta, the paid plans are free while we finish them.
Do I need to install an app?
No. LifeMantle works in any web browser, and you can add it to your home screen on iOS and Android for an app-like experience — no app store required.
Can I get my memories out?
Always. Everything is exportable at any time, and your data is encrypted at rest and backed up nightly. Your family's story is yours to keep.
