the legacy tool
Where stories become heirlooms

How incredible would it be to press play and hear the voice of a loved one you miss—or a relative you never got to know well—sharing stories about their childhood and how they saw the world?
That’s what we help you create. A simple, relaxed way to build a time capsule of life experiences—captured in your own voice and preserved in beautiful, high-quality audio for generations to come. There’s no script. No pressure. Just a conversation.
You simply invite a friend or family member to ask you questions—either from our 100 starter questions or ones that are personal to your story. The conversation naturally drifts into memories, relationships, growing up, career paths, and the events that shaped your perspective.
No preparation required, just choose a few questions from our list below to create momentum. Then, you just show up and talk.
We take care of recording everything in a comfortable, high-quality sound studio environment so what you’re preserving sounds clear, natural, and worthy of being passed down for generations.
Every life is full of moments that are easy to forget over time. We simply create the space for those stories to be shared—and preserved. We’re selecting 50 pairs to take part in this for free this spring. Effingham County residents will receive first priority.
Apply for yourself below. You’ll have plenty of time to choose and invite your recording partner before your session. Just get started—we’ll walk you through the rest.

Meet Your Hosts
We’re James and Kristen, a husband-and-wife team based in Rincon, Georgia, passionate about helping families preserve what matters most — their stories, their memories, and their voices.
We created The Legacy Tool because we realized how quickly time passes and how priceless it is to be able to hear the voice of someone you love telling their story in their own words.
You’re welcome to record your session at our comfortable, quiet studio space here in Rincon, designed specifically for clear, high-quality audio in a relaxed environment.
Prefer to record at your home or location? We’re happy to travel to you for a reasonable additional fee and bring the same professional setup with us.
Our goal is simple: make this easy, comfortable, and meaningful for you.
You just show up and talk. We’ll take care of the rest.
