Retold 2.0 is the biggest update yet. • New way to start: record your first 5 stories free, then Retold Family (formerly Retold Keepsake) unlocks unlimited recording, The Book and more, as a one-time purchase. Already using Retold? You keep unlimited recording. • Watch their words appear. On iOS 26 and later, the transcript now writes itself under the meter while they talk, so you can see it working. • Chapters. Long sittings are split into titled chapters you can tap to hear, and they become the table of contents in The Book. • Ask the Archive. Ask a question in plain words and get an answer built only from what your family said, with links to the exact moment. Works as a fast search even with intelligence off. • Family circle. Invite relatives to listen to and read one storyteller's stories, read-only, over Apple's iCloud sharing — including who's talking, for a shared table conversation. Stop sharing any time. • Read in another language. Any transcript can be translated on your device, with the original one tap away. • It knows the voice. After a few recordings Retold offers "Looks like Grandma, confirm?" instead of asking you to pick. • Recording survives a phone call. When the call ends, recording picks back up on its own where it safely can. • Photos help. A photo's own caption can inform the suggested title and index, on your device only. • A widget that remembers. In the week of a remembrance day, the widget shows who you're remembering, with a button to hear one of their stories. • "Transcribe my latest story" joins the Siri shortcuts. • Redeem a Code on the unlock screen, for gift codes. • A refreshed look for iOS 26 and 27, and a new app icon. • Bring the family in. After you save a story, Retold offers to send the same question to another relative so they can record their answer too, or to invite family to listen in a read-only family circle. Skip it any time. • Every story card, book, and export you share now says "Made with Retold", so relatives know where it came from. • Table conversations. Tag who's talking in a holiday-table recording by hand — tap a name, or "from here until the voice changes" — and hear back just one person's turns. The Book prints it as dialogue. An optional download finds where the voice changes and where people talk over each other, so tagging goes faster; it never guesses who's who. New and optional: a Jewish family setting. Turn it on for Hebrew dates and the parsha on every story, yahrzeits alongside anniversaries, a weekly question from the parsha, two Jewish interview kits, and a full Hebrew interface. Off by default, and free. Everything still happens on your iPhone. No account, ever.
