Porchlight is a family oral-history app. Wren, a warm voice interviewer, talks with grandparents and relatives in English or Spanish and asks follow-ups based on what they actually said. It turns their answers into a family record where every line is sourced: stories, plus people and places pages ("Familypedia") that only say what someone really said. Descendants can browse it and ask questions. Consent comes first: each person controls what's recorded and who can see it. Speech can run privately on your own hardware.
