New ways to tell stories: Photo Slideshow for those who'd rather not be on camera, and Story Booth for fun shout-out videos at gatherings. New interview questions, too!
StoryCatcher® for iOS is a fun and simple tool to create and share video stories. Become the documentarian in your circles!
Be the video storyteller for your friends, family, and heck, even strangers, by effortlessly building filmed stories. Choose themes, design titles, capture video, add screen text, and import photos! Once all your elements are in place, your very own movie is crafted into an amazing and shareable time capsule.
StoryCatcher® provides provocative interview questions to keep things interesting. Create a single story or stitch together a group of stories into a Collection. You can even create a full-length documentary. You import the pieces; we’ll take care of the glue! Simply record and share; the app does the rest!
CAMERA SHY? TRY PHOTO SLIDESHOW
For those who prefer to stay behind the lens, the Photo Slideshow theme lets you tell a story using your voice and your favorite photos. Record your story as you normally would: StoryCatcher® keeps your audio and replaces the video with the images you select. Add captions and a title, preview it, and share. It's a beautiful way to bring photographs to life.
SPREAD JOY WITH STORY BOOTH!
Turn your device into a story recording booth and let friends and family film short shoutouts! Great for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and any gathering worth celebrating. Write a title and a short prompt your guests will see while they record. Story Booth creates a new Collection and adds each video automatically, keeping an eye on your available storage along the way. Afterward, rearrange, retitle, and edit the videos like any other StoryCatcher® story.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
We believe in privacy and that your stories belong to you. No data collection or subscription, ever. Share your StoryCatcher® videos by email, on YouTube, or Vimeo, save to your camera roll, or store them in a shared Dropbox folder for all to enjoy, publicly or privately.
StoryCatcher® is the brainchild collaboration between Professional Personal Historian, April Bell, and iPhone App Coder, Urs Brauchli. Their goal is to provide an engaging and intuitive tool to bring friends and family closer together through video storytelling.
Ultimately, it is our personal stories that connect and bind us, now and for generations to come.
We want the world to tell their stories and pass them on.
What’s your story?
North Beach Apps, LLC was formed by Urs and April in 2012 to support the creation and distribution of StoryCatcher for iOS.
This app was the perfect thing for me to have when my grandmother and her sisters (my great-aunties) came to visit. Using the questions provided in the app, I captured so many great stories from each of them about their lives and also some great advice on living a good life. They had great fun telling stories about each other, asking each other the questions from the "Interview Tips". They also enjoyed knowing I was going to save and share their stories with the rest of the family. We love this app!!!
Reminiscing with old photos

We had such a great time showing my Mom old family photos and recording short videos for each one as she spoke. It's so cool that we can see her face as she tells her stories and also have the photo displayed on the screen at the same time! I love using the quotes to write in dates, names and places to go along with the story and picture. My sisters are loving these little keepsakes I've been making and sharing for our whole family to enjoy. We love this app!!
Thanks for making this app

We each have a story to tell. Many of us have several. When we share our lives with those close or far it really allows us to get to know one another on a deeper level. I really like how I can use this app for sharing some simple thoughts or I can take my time and pass on what really touches me in life so that others can be touched. I love how this app allows me to express what is important to myself, to the world and for those I care about. :)
More than an app...it's a gift to anyone with a loved one.

What a simple and fun way to capture life's special moments. I only wish that I had this app when my mom was still here. Photos just can't capture the essence of a person like video does. Hopefully, everyone out there discovers and uses this app to record even the simplest moments with their loved ones...while they have the chance. What a difference this app will surely make for many!

Photo Slideshow
Tell a story with your voice and your favorite photos. StoryCatcher® keeps your audio and replaces the video with the images you choose. Perfect if you'd rather not be on camera.
