The Lake House
The lake house was a two-story weatherboard that leaned slightly to the left, as if the wind off the water had been pushing it for decades. Grandpa bought it in the seventies when land out there cost almost nothing. By the time we were old enough to remember, the paint was peeling and the screen door never quite closed, but none of that mattered. The jetty out the back was half-rotten but we'd still fish off it every afternoon, catching nothing and caring less. Nights were the best part. We'd drag the old couch cushions onto the veranda and lie there counting satellites.
Every summer we’d pack the car before dawn. Dad always insisted on making his terrible coffee first. The drive took three hours but felt like minutes with the windows down and the radio on. We’d pull up to the lake house just as the sun hit the water, and Mum would already be planning lunch before we’d even unpacked. The kids would run straight to the dock.
Real-time Collaboration
StoryWorth relies on an email-only workflow with no real-time collaboration. Keepsake lets the whole family write together in real time. See who's online, watch edits appear live, and build your story as a team.
Write together in real time. Unlike StoryWorth, everyone can contribute simultaneously.
Stay on track, effortlessly
Unlike StoryWorth's rigid email schedule, Keepsake offers flexibility. Writing prompts spark ideas when you're stuck, chapter goals keep you moving, making it easy to stay on track.
Prompts spark ideas, chapter goals keep you moving, and everything saves automatically.
Easy Sharing & Permissions
Invite family, friends or colleagues, then set their editing privileges. Share projects privately, and control who can view, comment or edit. Far more flexible than StoryWorth's limited sharing.
Invite others, set editing privileges, and control who can view, comment or edit.
Queue your questions
Never feel rushed. Save questions you want to come back to later and add memories whenever the moment feels right, with zero pressure to answer them all at once. StoryWorth's weekly email format doesn't offer this flexibility.
Save questions for later and answer whenever the moment feels right. No pressure to do it all at once.
Comments & Reactions
Add comments, tag contributors and react to their responses. Spark conversations, share laughter and encourage feedback on every story. A social layer StoryWorth simply doesn't have.
A Summer to Remember
SyncedDad pulled out a shoe box from the top of the wardrobe. Inside were letters, photos, and a tiny brass key
Auto save
Your memories are always safe. Every word is automatically saved as you type, so you never lose your progress. No manual saving required.
Features StoryWorth is
still missing.
A complete photo studio, built in
Crop, rotate, adjust brightness, apply filters, add annotations, and AI-upscale low-res photos for print. StoryWorth gives you a basic upload button.
A real editor, not a text box
Rich text formatting, drag-and-drop media, inline photo editing, writing prompts, and auto-save. Write naturally, not fight a basic textarea.
Write together, not in isolation
Invite the whole family. See who’s online, watch edits appear live, leave comments, react to entries. StoryWorth's email workflow keeps contributors isolated.
Australian owned, globally printed
Designed and developed in Meanjin, Australia. Books printed locally in Australia, the UK, US, Canada, and Germany — faster delivery, local pricing, and support that understands your timezone.
