Good to know
Questions families ask first.
Heldearly is designed to feel simple for the person inviting and effortless for the person telling their story.
What is Heldearly?
Heldearly asks your parents one question at a time in iMessage. Their answers become chapters on a private life timeline you can keep and revisit.
Who is it for?
Adult children who want to save a parent’s or loved one’s stories. You invite them. They answer in iMessage.
Who is it not for?
For people that want to import old chat history. Not a social feed. Not for people who need Android or SMS instead of iMessage. Heldearly only works through iMessage questions it sends.
Does the storyteller need to download an app?
No. They stay in iMessage. No new app, account, or password for them.
How does it start?
You send an invite link. They open it in iMessage, accept, say hello to Heldearly, and get the first question.
What can they send?
Text, a photo, voice, or video.
What if they are not tech-savvy?
If they already use iMessage, that is enough. Heldearly meets them there. No new app to learn.
Is there a free trial?
No free trial. You can try Heldearly risk-free with our 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
When does their story appear?
As soon as they answer a question, that answer can become a chapter on the timeline. It grows with each reply, not as a finished book on day one.
Is the story private?
Yes. The timeline stays private. You share it only by inviting people you choose, like a brother or sister.
Is the June story a customer review?
No. June is a product demo so you can see how a timeline looks. It is not a testimonial.
How much does it cost?
One plan covers up to 2 storytellers: $9.89 a month, or $98.90 a year (saves 17%). It includes iMessage questions, follow-ups, and a private living timeline.
What happens if I cancel?
You can cancel anytime. Your timeline stays yours for the period you already paid.
Where do I get help?
Email hi@heldearly.com. We answer questions about invites, iMessage, and your timeline.
Can siblings see the same story?
Yes. Invite them as timeline viewers so they can see the same story.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. 30-day money-back if Heldearly is not for you, no questions asked.
