What is OverBiscuits?
OverBiscuits is a family storytelling app that helps you record, preserve, and share your family's stories and memories for future generations. Using voice recording, AI-powered transcription, and guided questions, OverBiscuits makes it easy for anyone - especially seniors - to capture their life story without needing to write.
Key Features of OverBiscuits
Voice Recording with AI Transcription
Simply tap the microphone and start talking. OverBiscuits records your voice and automatically transcribes every word using advanced AI. You get both the audio recording (to preserve the actual voice) and a text transcript (for reading and editing).
320 Guided Interview Questions
Never face a blank page wondering what to say. OverBiscuits provides 320 thoughtfully crafted questions organized into 16 life chapters: childhood, education, career, love, parenthood, traditions, travel, friendships, challenges, faith, humor, wisdom, achievements, and legacy.
AI-Powered Follow-Up Questions
After you answer a question, OverBiscuits uses AI (powered by Claude) to generate a relevant follow-up question that helps you remember additional details and create richer, more complete stories.
Moments: Quick Standalone Stories
Not every memory fits into a life chapter. Moments lets anyone capture a standalone story in minutes — how you met your partner, a favorite vacation, a memorable holiday. Choose from 25+ topics or create your own, answer a few guided questions, and get a polished first-person narrative. Learn more about Moments.
Family Sharing & Collaboration
Invite family members to your OverBiscuits account. They can listen to your stories, send "nudges" requesting specific stories they want to hear, and leave voice comments creating a cross-generational dialogue.
Heirloom Books & Audio Memoirs
Turn your digital stories into beautiful physical keepsakes. OverBiscuits offers professionally printed hardcover books containing your stories and photos, as well as "Living Legacy" audio memoirs - edited compilations of your voice recordings.

Why is it Called "OverBiscuits"?
The name comes from the idea that the best family stories aren't told in formal interviews - they're shared naturally, "over biscuits" at the kitchen table. OverBiscuits aims to capture that warm, conversational feeling where memories flow freely and stories emerge naturally.
