LegacyOS is the private social network for your whole extended family — the cousins, the grandparents, the great-aunt with all the stories. No ads, no algorithm, no strangers. One question a week keeps everyone close, and quietly builds an archive your family keeps forever.
Private by design — no ads, no data selling, no algorithm. Just your family. We're onboarding our very first families now, so this is early.
"What did your grandmother cook that no one makes anymore?"
Aunt Rosa replied: "Her Sunday cornbread. The secret was a spoonful of honey and way too much butter…"

Cousins only see each other at funerals. The stories live in one person's memory. The photos are scattered across a dozen phones. The group chat scrolls away by Tuesday — and the people who remember the most won't be here forever.
The stories are leaving.
Every year, the people who remember the old ones get older. The recipes, the origins, the voices — undocumented, they're gone for good.
The group chat isn't it.
Photos vanish up the scroll. There's no home, no order — no real way for a 40-person family to actually stay close.
Facebook sells you. Ancestry is for the dead.
One mines your family for ads. The other is a tree of people you never met. Neither is a private place for the living family around the table.
You don't set anything up. You just answer a question — and everything else quietly assembles itself around your family.
One thoughtful question arrives every Sunday. Answer in a text or a voice memo — that's the whole habit. Each answer fills your family's archive, one memory at a time.
The habitPhotos, the family tree, recipes, events, time capsules — one private place your whole family builds together. No ads. No algorithm. Yours.
The homeOne day, ask the people you've lost what they'd say — in their own words, from the stories they actually told. A way to revisit them, built only from what they chose to share.
The keepsakeA question lands by text — no app to open, no login. Just something worth remembering, sent to whoever's turn it is that week.
Reply with a line or a voice memo. It takes a minute — and it's the kind of thing your family will read for the next fifty years.
It's saved to your family's private vault forever — tagged to the people and places it's about. Over time, it teaches the Avatar.
The Sunday question starts the habit — but staying close is the whole point. These are the moments that keep everyone leaning in the other six days.
When someone tells a story that includes you — the time you fell out of the apple tree, the recipe you swore by — you hear about it. It's the small nudge that turns into a real phone call. The app quietly sends you back to each other.
Memories become conversationsRecord something for a grandchild's 18th birthday, a wedding day, or a hard day down the road — and it's delivered on that date, in your own voice, long after. A hug you send forward in time.
A message to a person & a datePhotos, the family tree, the next reunion, the recipes worth keeping — the whole family builds it together. Not one person keeping score, not a group chat nobody scrolls back through. A living place that gets richer every week.
A home you build togetherEvery December, a look back at the year your family shared — the questions answered, the photos added, the people who showed up. The kind of thing you pass around the table at the holidays and actually talk about.
A yearly ritual to gather around"One day, your grandchildren can ask you anything."
Every answer you give becomes something the people who outlive you can hear — in your own voice, from the stories you actually told. Not a resurrection. A way to keep the conversation going.
We build the Avatar with more care than anything else. It only ever speaks from what a person chose to share, never invents what they didn't say, and never pretends to be more than a reconstruction of their own words. A lens onto what someone actually said — never a puppet of who they were.
Somewhere in a year of Sunday questions — "who knows where the deed is?", "which bank was Dad's account with?" — your family answers the very things a lawyer will one day need to know. You never sat down to "do estate planning." You just answered questions about your family. And everything's already in one place. (We help you organize — we never give legal or financial advice.)
We're onboarding our very first families now. Leave your email and we'll send your family's first Sunday question when it's your turn.
You're on the list. We'll be in touch soon. 🌿
No spam, ever. We'll only email you about your family's early access. Private by design.
"I started this organizing my own family — and realized the paperwork was the easy part. Keeping a big family close, and not losing the stories, was the hard part. So I built the thing I needed first."
