Roon turns your family’s photos, video, and voice into visual chapters — a crafted story, not just the files. Rooney is the storyteller who lives inside Roon — she reads the photos and videos your family already has and writes the story back to you: chapters, threads across the years, a film every January, letters for later. Below is the real product. It all works. Try it.
Good morning, Jeff.
Rooney’s been through the archive overnight.
Ask Rooney to find something, or build you a story…
Ask Rooney lives inside Roon — tap the bar and you’re there. Rooney, bottom centre, answers using only this family’s photos and words.
The Den — the family in this story, who can watch and add
ask her · then watch
Ask in plain words — she gathers it, and makes films from it.
An ask becomes a thread. A followed thread can close a film. Every year can play as a film. Tap an ask and watch the real product, below, do it.
the real product
This is Roon. Try it — don’t just look at it.
Everything in the frame below works. Scroll Moments — the feed. Open Threads — the patterns Rooney follows across the years — and tap one. Read her Story. Look through Collections and Saved, the moments set aside. Then tap Rooney, bottom centre, and ask about anything you saw — the answers come only from this family’s photos and words.
The interactive sample isn’t available here — everything else on this page still is, including joining the beta below.
Start free — see what Rooney does with one chapter of your family.
Private beta · now forming
We’re building this with a small group of families first.
We’re letting in a limited first group — people who’ll help shape it, get in at founding pricing, and keep that price for as long as they stay. Add your email and we’ll be in touch as spots open.
You’re on the list.
We’ll email you the moment a spot opens. Thank you for wanting this to exist.
her story
Her story
Six years, told the way you’d actually tell it. What’s actually in the feed — four things, taking turns:
A photo
Yours, as you took it. The feed starts with what your family already has.
Something Rooney noticed
A pattern across your years, shown with the photos that prove it — never just a claim.
A thread Rooney is following
The same person, place, or day, gathered from every year it appears in, in order.
The start of a chapter
A named piece of your story, written in sentences from your family’s own words — tap to read the rest.

The Same Garden — made for Grandma
Rooney finished this story from six years of her garden, ending at her table. It is packaged as a gift: she can watch it on any screen — no account, no app.
and this is a film
Press play on a year.
Recorded from the product itself: one year, playing as a film — chapter titles as intertitles, the family’s own captions as the words, a followed thread as the finale. There isn’t one film in Roon — there’s one for every year, every thread, every ask. She keeps making them.

The smaller print: room comes in three steps — $30, $80, or $150 a year (or $3, $8, or $15 a month), added only when your story needs it. Want a big stack of older memories told at once — 2,500 of them? That’s $19, one time. A second family is $49 a year, or $5 a month.

Rooney follows 3 people closely. Everyone in your Den can watch, react, and add their own moments — the story is the family’s, not one person’s camera roll.
Taylor
The subject · keeper-in-training
Storyline 1 of 3 followed. Six years of archive and, lately, its co-author.
Dad
Keeper · that’s you
Added most of the early archive. Wrote the letters. Runs behind the bike.
Mom
Keeper · co-archivist
The family’s best photographer and its harshest editor. Reads the last page to nobody.
Grandma
Contributor · the garden
Source of the garden, the Sunday table, and most of the rules worth keeping.
Cousin Jack
Cousin · two years ahead
The benchmark: whatever Jack can do this year, she is coming for next year.
Bailey
Dog · head of security
Appears across all six years. Appointed himself. Never takes a day off.
