A calm walkthrough
Straight answers on delivery, pricing, privacy, access, and what long-term ownership actually looks like once you start using Our Fable.
Our Fable is a private platform where parents set up a memory vault for their child. Our Fable sends personalized prompts to grandparents, family members, and friends on a natural, unscheduled cadence, asking them to record a letter, voice memo, photo, or video message addressed to the child. Vault openings are delivered by email over time as milestones are reached, including the standard ages of 13, 16, 18, and 21, plus any custom milestones a family adds.

Circle members can submit written letters, voice memos, photos, and short video messages. Our Fable sends prompts tailored to each person's relationship with the child, and they can respond in whatever format feels natural.
Our Fable includes standard milestone openings at 13, 16, 18, and 21. Families can also add custom milestones like graduation, a wedding day, or another meaningful date as additional opening moments.
Our Fable is $12/month or $99/year, includes one child, thoughtful circle prompts, Dispatches, The Day They Were Born, and AES-256 encrypted vault storage. Each additional child is $4/mo or $39/yr. Each child gets their own vault and can share the same circle or have a completely separate one.
Each additional child gets their own vault, milestones, and future delivery moments. When you add a child, you can choose to share the same circle or start a separate one. Most families will share a circle, but separate circles work for blended families, half siblings, or different grandparents.
Yes. A child can share the same circle as their sibling or have a completely separate one. Shared circles are best for most siblings, while separate circles support blended family structures.
Yes. Our Fable is private by design. The vault is accessible only to the parents who created it. No content is shared publicly, on social media, or with third parties. You can export everything at any time.
Yes. Parents can view and delete anything added to their child's vault at any time.
Yes. Our Fable can be gifted as a recurring monthly or annual subscription with a gift code. The family is covered while the gift subscription remains active, and they can add additional children later if they need them. Visit ourfable.ai/gift to send a gift code by email.
Our Fable creates a permanent front page for your child's birthday, capturing details like weather, headlines, and the number one song from the day they arrived.
Dispatches let parents send photos, videos, notes, or voice memos to their whole circle privately, without group chats or social media. They are included in every Our Fable subscription.
Your content is always yours. You can export everything before or after cancelling. We will never hold your family's memories hostage.
Yes. You can download every letter, voice memo, photo, and video at any time. The data is yours, while the sealed-vault experience remains the part we protect.
Our Fable is built to last decades, not days. We take archiving seriously, so your family's memories stay protected and exportable.
No. Circle members receive a personal link, open their prompt, and respond. No account creation, no app download, and no password are required.
Vault content is encrypted with your family's unique AES-256 key before it leaves your browser. Data is also encrypted in transit and at rest, and recovery codes are your backup if you ever lose your password. Parents can also enable two-factor authentication.
Start at ourfable.ai/signup. Choose monthly or annual billing, add your child's name and birthday, set your family password, and start inviting the circle in about five minutes.
Parents can name Vault Guardians to support continuity. If the family goes inactive for an extended period, a delivery milestone sits unattended, or payments lapse for too long, Our Fable can reach out so they can help keep the vault active or trigger delivery. They can never see sealed content or recover encrypted access.
Our Fable includes a continuity layer through Vault Guardians. You can name trusted adults who can help if your family goes inactive for an extended period, if a milestone delivery is missed, or if payments lapse for too long. They support stewardship and delivery without ever seeing sealed content.
Recovery codes are your backup for encrypted vault access if you ever lose your password. Store them somewhere safe, because encrypted vault content cannot be recovered without your password or a recovery code.
