Tell the stories of your ancestors
Record names, places, and the reasons they matter. Build the family tree and map the countries of your heritage, so your grandchildren can see their place in a larger story.
For Grandparents
Capture the traditions only you remember — and pass them on
Your family carries roots that shape who they are: the places you’ve lived, the recipes in your hands, the stories no one else can tell. Harvest helps you preserve them and share them with the generations coming up.
Save the recipes by heart
Photograph the handwritten cards before they fade. Harvest preserves them — flavors, measurements, and all — and makes them easy to share at the next gathering.
Share, don’t broadcast
Invite your children and grandchildren into a private, encrypted family circle. They see every memory you’ve gathered — and no one else ever does.
A keepsake that outlasts you
The book is a tangible heirloom; the app keeps those moments shareable. Together they make a legacy your family can return to for generations.
In the app
Features made for you
Family Memories
A private, end-to-end encrypted family group where you share photos and moments from the celebrations that matter. Invite a grandparent and they instantly see every memory you’ve gathered — never the internet, never us.
Heirloom Recipes
Photograph a handwritten recipe card and the app cleans up the text for you, flags allergens, and organizes by region — keeping Grandma’s cooking searchable, shareable, and safe.
World Traditions Map
Explore traditions from cultures around the world, find the threads that resonate with your family, and place your own story on the map. Inspiration for the next tradition worth keeping.
Family Tree & Heritage
Bring names, dates, and relationships from your FamilySearch tree into Harvest as your own private family history — text you own, encrypted, and woven into your story.
Seasonal Scripture & Hymns
Carefully chosen, public-domain passages and hymn lyrics for every season, stored offline on your device — available by the fire, on the road, or anywhere without a signal.
Your Cloud, Your Keys
Back up everything to your own Google Drive, encrypted on your device before it ever leaves. We hold no master key — only you can restore your family’s memories.
Good questions
Questions families ask
- I’m not very comfortable with technology. Is this for me?
- Yes. Harvest begins with a physical book you write in by hand. The companion app is optional — and when you’re ready, sharing a memory is as simple as inviting your family into a private circle where they instantly see everything you’ve gathered.
- Can I preserve handwritten recipes without retyping them?
- Just photograph the card. The app cleans up the text for you, keeps the original, and makes the recipe easy to share with the whole family at the next gathering.
- Who can see the stories and photos I add?
- Only the family you invite. Your memories are encrypted on your device before they’re ever stored, so they’re visible to your family and no one else — not advertisers, not the internet, not us.
