Preserving family memories
Family memories rarely vanish all at once. They fade slowly: a replaced phone, a failed hard drive, a story nobody can tell anymore. Preserving them takes little time, but it takes method.
What is worth keeping
Not everything carries the same weight. A few hundred well-chosen memories matter more than ten thousand files nobody will open.
- Photos of people, rather than landscapes with no context.
- The voices of elders: a story told is worth more than a silent photo.
- Family recipes, with the name of the person who cooked them.
- Traditions, nicknames and the small stories that explain a picture.
- Documents that tell a life: diplomas, letters, deeds, announcements.
The most useful rule: name the people
A photo without names loses its value within a generation. Writing who is in the picture, where and when, takes ten seconds and changes everything.
Solexi links each memory to people in the family tree, so the context stays attached to the image.
Recording voices and stories
Five minutes is often enough: how your parents met, a trade that no longer exists, a childhood memory.
Ask one question at a time and let them talk. These recordings usually become the most replayed content a family owns.
Avoiding long-term loss
A phone is not a preservation place. Neither is a hard drive: it fails without warning.
Gather what matters in a space built to last, shared with trusted people, so losing a device does not mean losing the memories.

Frequently asked questions
How do I preserve family memories for the long term?
Gather the important ones in a single space built to last, add names and dates, and give access to at least one trusted person.
Where do I start with thousands of photos?
Do not sort everything. Pick fifty photos that truly matter, add the names, then continue in short sessions.
How do I record my parents’ stories?
Record short answers to one question at a time with a phone, then attach the recording to the related memory so it is not lost.
Are my memories private in Solexi?
Yes. Your memories are private and visible only to the members you invite, according to the role you give them.
Solexi does not replace a legal will, a notary or a lawyer. Solexi helps you gather, organize and pass on your information.
