Last edited: December 4th, 2024.
Preserving family memories today goes far beyond storing photographs or videos. It’s about capturing the emotions, experiences, and stories that define us—tools that help connect generations while leaving a lasting legacy.
With KINNECT’s Storybooks, available in the KINNECT App on the Apple Store, and Kinnect Books, a web-based experience for crafting physical keepsakes, families now have two distinct ways to preserve their stories.
Let’s dive into how these tools work, their differences, and how each can enrich your family’s history while strengthening connections.
Storybooks in the KINNECT App: A Digital First Step
The KINNECT App’s Storybooks are perfect for capturing memories on the go. Designed for private, secure storytelling, this feature helps families organize their life stories into digital chapters.
Key features of KINNECT App Storybooks
