Porchlight calls your parent, has a real conversation, and turns what they say into a memoir you and your family can read online. The page grows every week, and by the end of a year it reads like a book.
If the first month is not what you hoped for, write to us within 30 days and we will refund it in full.
Backed by the Deepgram Startup Program
Porchlight calls at the same time each week, like a standing appointment already on the calendar.
There's nothing to log into and no screen to look at. Your parent picks up the phone and talks about their life.
Each call becomes a new chapter on a private page, one that keeps growing week after week.
What was your very first job?
Bill's five and dime, on Union Street. I was sixteen that summer.
Do you remember learning the register?
Mr. Averill taught me by hand, no tape. You just counted the change out loud until it stuck.

Mr. Averill taught her the register by hand, no tape, just counting change out loud until it felt automatic.
Nothing to download or create an account for. Your parent never has to remember a password.
Calls happen on a schedule, like a friend checking in, not a task on a to-do list.
The interviewer is a warm, patient computer voice that remembers every story from past weeks and never rushes.
Family gets one private link that isn’t public and doesn’t need managing.
Pick a day and a time, and the first conversation happens this week. Signing up for yourself, or for someone other than a parent? It works exactly the same way.
