MyGenLink · Your Link Between Generations
Your stories are the link
between generations.
Every family has a generation that remembers. The one with stories at the dinner table that make everyone go quiet and lean in. MyGenLink gives that generation a private, guided home for their memories — one that reaches forward in time to the children and grandchildren who will one day want to know exactly who they were.
MyGenLink is for the memory keepers.
A private place where memories live — the moments that made you laugh, the years that shaped you, the ordinary days that turned out to be anything but. Yours to write. Yours to keep. Yours to pass on.

Yours to keep
“I wish I had asked Grandpa more questions before he was gone.”
Every family has this regret. The stories that only one person knows. The recipes in someone's head. The history that disappears when a generation does. MyGenLink exists so that never has to happen to yours.

What goes in your archive
One chapter that belongs to you alone — and six more for the whole family to build together.
My Story
Your personal memoir — yours alone
This is where you write your story. Not a shared chapter — a letter to your family. Where you grew up. What shaped you. What you want the next generation to carry forward. Guided prompts make it easy to start, even if you've never written about yourself before.
“What do you want your grandchildren to know about who you really are?”
Plus six chapters the whole family can contribute to
Childhood
Where you grew up, your earliest memories, the family you came from.
School Years
The teachers who shaped you, the friends you made, the person you were becoming.
Career & Work
The work that shaped you, the lessons you learned the hard way.
Love & Marriage
How you met, what love taught you, advice for the next generation.
Family Life
The traditions, the chaos, the ordinary days that became extraordinary.
Travel & Adventures
The places that changed you. The trip that almost went wrong.

How your privacy actually works
Not marketing language — a plain explanation of where your memories live and who can see them.
Think of a safe deposit box at a bank
The bank keeps your box locked in their vault — but the bank staff cannot open it, cannot read what's inside, and have no reason to look. Only you have the key.
MyGenLink works the same way. Your memories are kept in a private, locked digital space that only your family can open. We hold the space — but we cannot see inside it, we do not look, and we have nothing to gain from doing so.
Our promises to you
No ads. Ever.
We charge a flat annual fee. That's how we keep the lights on. No advertisers, no sponsors, no one to sell your information to.
Your memories are never fed into AI.
Your family's stories and pictures will never be used to train a machine. Not now. Not ever. Full stop.
When you delete something, it's gone.
Not moved to a hidden pile. When you remove a memory or close your account, it is permanently destroyed — like a shredder, not a drawer.
You can take everything with you, any time.
Download a complete copy of your archive — every memory, photo, and conversation — as plain files that open on any computer. No account needed to read them.
What free apps don't tell you
Pressing "delete" doesn't actually delete.
On Facebook and Instagram, deleting a photo is like putting a letter in someone else's bin — they can still read it before emptying it. Copies can sit in their storage for years, used to train AI or shown to advertisers, even after you've "removed" it.
Every word you write is being studied.
Free apps make money by reading everything you post — who's in your photos, what you talk about, who you're connected to. They build a profile on you and sell it. Your grandmother's stories deserve better than that.
"Friends only" doesn't mean private.
Setting a post to "friends only" decides who can see it on screen. It does nothing about what the company does with it behind the scenes. The post is still theirs to read, analyse, and keep — indefinitely.
Everything your family needs
Built for real families — not tech-savvy ones.
Guided chapters
Childhood, Career, Love, Family Life, Travel — structured prompts help anyone start writing.
Private by design
No ads. No algorithms. No AI training on your stories. Your family's memories belong to your family.
Photos & videos
Attach a photo or video to any memory. See Grandpa's face alongside his words.
Question Bank
Ask your family elder a question directly. They answer in their own time, in their own words.
The whole family
Invite grandparents, parents, and children. Everyone contributes at their own pace.
Your data, always
Export your complete archive as plain files anytime. Open them without MyGenLink, forever.
A Note From the Founder
MyGenLink did not begin as a software project.
It began with a question.
Over the years, I became increasingly aware that many of our most important memories now live on platforms we do not own and do not control. Family photos, stories, conversations, milestones, and pieces of our personal history are often stored inside systems designed primarily for advertising, engagement, and growth.
That realization stayed with me.
Not because I believe technology is inherently bad. Quite the opposite. Technology has made it easier than ever to capture and share moments with the people we care about.
But I began to wonder: What would a platform look like if it were designed around a different principle?
What if family memories were treated as a legacy rather than content?
What if ownership mattered more than engagement?
What if families could preserve their stories without worrying about advertising, data mining, or whether a future policy change might alter how their memories are used?
MyGenLink was built to answer those questions. At its heart, it is a private family archive — a place to preserve stories, photographs, videos, traditions, lessons, and memories across generations.
✓ Your family's memories belong to your family.
✓ Your content is not used to train AI systems.
✓ Your archive is portable and can be downloaded.
✓ Your family history should never be trapped inside a platform.
✓ Future generations should be able to access these stories long after they are recorded.
I believe that every family has stories worth preserving. I also believe that preserving them should not require surrendering ownership of them.
My hope is that MyGenLink helps families create something that lasts — an archive of memories, wisdom, and stories that can be shared for generations to come.
Thank you for being here.
— Michael, Founder of MyGenLink
