Nian
念
Because the details blur first.
How It Works
Two people. One story.
Preserved before the details blur.
Nian works two ways — for the person who wants their story to outlive them, and for the son, daughter, or grandchild who refuses to let it fade.
For You
"I want the people I love to know who I really was."
Not your rank. Not your resume. The stories the after-action report never captured. The humor. The hard lessons. The code you lived by that nobody ever asked you to explain. Nian captures all of it — in your voice, on your terms, sealed until you decide it's time.
For Someone You Love
"I need to capture them before their voice is gone."
You already know it's starting to blur. The specific way they tell a story. The things they only say on certain evenings. The version of them that exists when they think nobody is watching. Nian gives you a way to sit across from the person who matters most and finally ask the questions that need asking. While there's still time.
The Questionnaire
Fifty questions across five domains — identity, relationships, stories, wisdom, and the private things. Done at your own pace, alone or together. Every question has a skip option. Nothing is compulsory.
This is pre-production. By the time the camera turns on, the thinking is already done.
The Foundation Session
A guided capture session — your voice, your stories, at home or in a neutral studio. You record. Kam joins via Zoom to hold the space.
This is where the $299 lives. Not in the technology. In this moment.
The Vault — Yours. Always.
Everything captured is stored in an encrypted vault you own entirely. Two tiers: a Family Vault for shared memories — and a Private Vault for sealed messages released at the moment you choose. After you're gone, at a milestone you designate, or as a message from your younger self to your future self. Even we cannot read it.
Your terms. Your timing. Your people.
Return Anytime
Life surfaces things the first session couldn't. A memory that came back at 3am. Something they weren't ready to say yet. The vault stays open for as long as the story keeps coming.
No deadline. No pressure. No expiry. This is their pace.
The Closing Chapter
Optional. Irreversible. At a moment only you will know — you return one final time to seal the vault. Not because you are dying. Because you are ready. No competitor offers this. Because no competitor understands that the most powerful moment in legacy planning is not when someone dies — it is when someone consciously decides they have said everything they needed to say.
