a quiet space between worlds
For Those Who Live inBetween.
A private, voice-first space to gather and preserve your story.
what inBetween is
Your memories. Your story. In your voice.
inBetween is a private, voice-first app for people whose lives span more than one culture, language, family, place or identity.
A place to gather what you remember, map the pieces of your life, discover how they connect and preserve them in your own voice.
The storyteller becomes the listener.
how it works
inBetween cards
Find a place to begin.
If you are unsure where to start, you can choose an inBetween Card.
Each card holds one question about things like names, family, language, memory and place. There is no daily card and nothing to complete.
You can also skip the cards and begin recording right away.
record
Tell it as you remember it.
Tap the record button and speak.
A recording can be a few words or a longer memory. You can stop halfway through and return later.
There is no audience, and your recording never appears in a public feed.
transcribe
Turn a recording into text.
You can have a recording transcribed whenever you want to read or keep the words.
Correct a name, change a place or fix a sentence that does not sound right. The written version stays linked to the original recording, so you can always listen again.
gather
Keep the different parts together.
Add recordings, text, photographs and documents to your personal story.
Give something a date if you know it. Leave the date open if you do not. Add new information whenever you find it.
inBetween helps you arrange the material. It does not fill in missing parts or decide what an experience means.

There is more than one way to live inBetween.
You may be adopted or part of a diaspora. You may have grown up in more than one country or spoken a different language at home. Your parents may come from different cultures. Parts of your history may be held by people you have never met.
You may also be trying to understand how an earlier version of your life fits with the person you are now. You do not need to fit a particular label to use inBetween.
created from lived experience
inBetween is being developed by an international team. Some of us know what it is to be adopted. Others know what it means to live between cultures, languages, families or places.
Together, we bring lived experience and professional knowledge to the way inBetween is built.
It is not a story we are looking at from the outside.
what inBetween offers
Tell your story
Record your voice and let your words take up space — no judgment, no audience.
Questions
Questions to begin with, when you want them. No schedule. No right way to answer.
Your memories, yours
Everything stays on your device. No account needed. Your story belongs to you.
A quiet place
Sound spaces and breathing moments for when being inBetween feels like too much.
“Not every feeling needs an audience.
Some moments simply need a place to exist.”
privacy and boundaries
Your story is not public content.
You do not need an inBetween account to begin. Your original recordings are stored on your device and we cannot listen to them.
Only material you choose for transcription or another AI feature is sent for secure processing. Your personal content is not used for advertising or to train AI models.
inBetween is a personal storytelling app. It does not diagnose, coach or give psychological interpretations.

questions
Is inBetween free?
Yes — inBetween is free to download and use. The free version includes 20 question cards and 5 voice recordings. A premium plan (€7.99/month, or €69.99/year) unlocks unlimited recordings, transcription, and more.
How much can I transcribe?
Free includes 10 minutes of transcription (one-time). inBetween + gives you 720 minutes each month, which reset at the start of every month. You can always see how much you have left in the app’s settings.
Do I need an account?
No. inBetween requires no account, no sign-up, and no email address. You can start speaking your story right after downloading the app.
Where are my recordings stored?
All recordings are stored locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server or cloud unless you choose to back up your phone yourself.
Is my data private?
Completely. Your voice recordings, memories, and story never leave your device. We have no access to your content — ever.
How does inBetween use AI?
AI is only used for features you choose, such as transcription and helping you arrange parts of your story. It performs that task. It does not decide what your story means, and your personal content is not used to train AI models.
What does fair use mean for transcription?
Transcription is included with inBetween + for normal personal use. Before launch, we will publish the exact allowance and explain what happens when someone reaches it. You will not lose your recordings or personal story.
When will the app be available?
inBetween is currently in development. It will be available on iOS and Android soon — check back here for updates.
