Laraine’s Remento Review: How Remento Makes Capturing and Sharing Family Memories Easier Than Ever

Looking for a Meaningful Gift for Your Parent? Remento Turned One Simple Gift into a Legacy of Stories

When Laraine S. received a simple yet thoughtful gift from her daughter last Christmas, little did she know that this gesture would lead to a beautiful journey of storytelling, connection, and legacy-building. What began as an ordinary present quickly turned into an extraordinary way for Laraine to preserve her memories for future generations.

“It’s a wonderful keepsake for generations to come,” Laraine said, reflecting on how Remento had become a meaningful way to share her personal stories with her family.

Remento not only helps preserve these stories but also transforms them into beautiful, personalized books that families can cherish forever. Explore the legacy of storytelling with Remento’s keepsake books here.

From First Recording to Family Heirloom: How One Gift Sparked a Lifetime of Storytelling

“I thought, ‘Oh, this ought to be fun,’” Laraine laughed as she recalled the beginning of her Remento journey. With her daughter’s help, she recorded her first two memories using Remento’s audio feature. But before long, she found herself recording video messages as well, drawn to the idea of leaving behind not just her words, but a visual record of her personality and presence.

“They can see my face, hear how I talk, see how I move, what I look like… which is different than just the audio,” she explained. “I’m thinking of future generations who’ll be born when I’m not here anymore.”

Recording a story with Remento was far easier than she expected, and the more she used it, the more she realized just how powerful this tool could be. What had begun as a simple experiment soon turned into a treasured way of connecting with her family in ways that would last for years.

Remento makes it incredibly easy for anyone to start recording meaningful stories—no writing, editing, or technical experience needed. Each week, the storyteller receives a thoughtful prompt by email or text and can respond using audio or video with just a few clicks. Everything works right in the browser, so there’s no app to download or software to learn. Remento automatically transforms each recording into a polished written story, allowing families to focus on capturing memories and preserving voices without getting caught up in the technical details.

The Gift That Brings Families Closer Together by Sharing Stories Across Distance

As the recordings piled up, her children began to take part in the experience. Her daughter added her two siblings to the account, ensuring that everyone—no matter where they lived—could listen to and enjoy the stories. The results were immediate: family bonds deepened, even across oceans and time zones.

“Today my son called from Italy,” Laraine shared. “My daughter had sent him the link to listen to the last few stories I’d recorded. He said, ‘Mom,they’re so great. I love them.’”

For Laraine, Remento became more than just a way to share her stories—it became a bridge that connected her children, even when they were thousands of miles apart. “It’s so fun that everyone can see it, no matter where they live or what country they live in.”

But the power of Remento didn’t stop with just sharing her stories—it also sparked curiosity and conversation between family members. “My daughter wants me to share stories from my childhood. The other kids are also adding things they’d like to know. It’s really nice to see them interact with each other’s comments and ideas. It gives them inspiration for more stories.”

Easy to Use, Even for First-Time Storytellers—Remento Works for Everyone

At first, Laraine was unsure how to navigate the recording process, but Remento’s easy-to-use design quickly won her over. “You do it once, and it just works. It’s so user-friendly,” she said, recalling how she was able to start recording almost immediately.

Remento’s streamlined features made it effortless for her to get started, without any unnecessary complexity. “When you press record, it gives you a 3-2-1 countdown, and you’re ready to go,” she said. “And if you mess up at the start, it’s not a problem. I love how you can pause, stop, or start over. It’s so simple to just get back on track.”

For her, the process felt entirely natural. It wasn’t about tech skills—it was about telling stories that mattered. Remento’s intuitive interface allowed her to focus on what was important: the memories, the stories, and the connections with her family.

A Lasting Legacy, Made Easy with Remento

“It's a wonderful product,” Laraine said simply, but with deep emotion. “I love it—for generations. That’s what it’s for.”

What began as a thoughtful Christmas gift quickly turned into a legacy project—a way to leave a lasting imprint of her voice, her life, and her love for her children and grandchildren. With Remento, she’s not just telling stories; she’s creating a tangible, accessible way for future generations to experience who she was, how she lived, and what mattered most to her.

And it all started with one recording.
