Their story, told by everyone who loves them.
Family and friends each record a short memory. Our studio weaves every voice into one film — and we handle everything. Starting is free, the room is private, and production is one flat $1,200when you're ready.
How it works
Three acts. One unforgettable film.
Begin with a single link.
Create a private link in seconds and drop it in the family group chat. Everyone records straight from their phone — free to start, nothing to install.
They share from the heart.
From wherever they are, each person records a short message about them — a story, a memory, a thank-you. One to five minutes is perfect, and there's no limit.
We handle everything from here.
Our studio crafts the first cut, then a real person reviews and finishes every film — refining the story, sound, color, captions, and score for the service or celebration.
The craft
Not a slideshow. A film.
Our studio builds each story from the contributors’ voices, and a real person reviews and finishes every film before delivery. Not a playlist. Not a template.
The first watchFinished by a real person
A real person reviews and finishes every film, refining the story, pacing, sound, and color before delivery.
The craft of a finished film
Audio cleaned, color graded, a fitting score, captions, title and chapter cards — and a closing roll of every name.
Made from every voice
Each recorded message is treated as raw footage — woven into one film that tells the story of who they are.
Revised until it's right
Unlimited revisions — we keep refining until your family says it feels like them.

Love it, or keep it free.
This matters too much to leave to chance. We’ll revise the film until it feels right — and if you’re still not delighted, we’ll refund every dollar and you keep the film.

Common questions
Yes. Create your private link, share it, and collect as many messages as you'd like — all before paying anything. You only pay $1,200 when you're ready for us to craft the film. No credit card required to start. No expiration.
Most people worry about this — so we built everything around it. There's no app: your people tap the link and record from their phone in a couple of minutes, with gentle prompts to guide them. And our team shapes whatever comes in into a complete story.
No. Our studio crafts a true story arc with refined audio, color, score, captions, and title and chapter cards. A real person reviews and finishes every film before delivery. It's a film, not a template.
Yes — one flat price, tax included. No subscriptions, no upsells, no per-person fees. It covers a finished, human-crafted film your family will keep forever, made by a team that handles everything. And it's backed by The Dearly Promise: if you're not delighted, we refund every dollar and you keep the film.
Yes. You never touch editing software — if you can send a text, you can do this. We handle all of the production, and a real person is always a reply away.
We're built for this. Once everyone has contributed and you ask us to begin, most films arrive the next day; richer stories can take up to three days. You can choose when our studio begins production.
We'll revise it until it does — as many times as you need. And if you're still not delighted, The Dearly Promise means a full refund, and you keep the film.
Yes. Your link is private — anyone you share it with can add a message, but only you manage the room, and the finished film is shared only with the people you choose.
No app — just a supported browser and a quick verification code so we know who's contributing. They open the link and record or upload their message right there.
There's no limit — five voices or five hundred. Films find their fullest shape around twenty or more contributors, so share the link generously. We'll take it from there.
It depends on how many voices join. With twenty or more contributors, films often run twenty minutes or longer — a full portrait, with a beginning, middle, and end.
Yes. Any one person in the family can cover the $1,200 flat price.
Late messages are always welcome. Once they contribute, the organizer can request a new version at no extra cost.
Contributors can revisit their own messages in the room. The finished film remains available to watch and download, and the room never expires.
Everyone receives a few gentle prompts with the link — a favorite memory, a story, what they'd want them to know. No preparation needed.
Yes — families create Dearly films for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and retirements. The process is identical. The only difference is they get to watch it.
Most services are software — templates that stitch clips together, or slideshow tools you operate yourself. Dearly is a studio: we craft the film from your family's messages, and a real person reviews and finishes it before delivery. Nothing for you to edit, ever.
