You finally asked.
…and found out your mom might have been cooler than you. Mom's answers are wild.
Every family has stories. Sommos helps you unlock yours.
Free while we’re in beta.
It’s all the things you’ve been meaning to save finally off your to-do list.
Sommos is a daily storytelling app for families. Every day, it sends one Story Spark™ — a simple question that gets everyone talking. Before you know it, you’ve saved your great-aunt’s stories you’ve been meaning to get down, Grandma’s mac and cheese recipe (the real one), the story Dad tells every Thanksgiving, the one your uncle swears happened differently… and all the stories you kept saying, “we really should record that someday.”
You’ll probably recognize someone here.
The sandwich generation
Kids on one side, parents on the other, and you’re the panini in between. Three minutes is a break, not a chore.
Grandparents who love a tangent
One big button, and all the time in the world. For once, nobody’s rushing them off the phone.
Siblings who mean well
The ones who can’t fly home but still want in — now they show up in the group chat that actually matters.
Families are finding out what they never knew.
My grandparents met at the airport the day they arrived — married six months later. I’m 39, and no one ever told me.
Renée · granddaughter of immigrants
Using Sommos, I found out my dad drove to Reno at 3am to propose to my mom. I had no idea — turns out he's a real romantic.
Danielle · eldest daughter, 55
Definitely had a Sommos moment. I did it in a cafe and was afraid I was gonna start crying.
Zerline · two kids, one aging parent, 49
One Spark a day. Watch it snowball.
Three minutes a day. Here’s what Sommos does.
Blanking on what to ask? We got you.
You never face a blank page — the question’s already waiting. You just tap and talk. Answer it yourself, or send it to Mom, Dad, the whole family and hear their versions of the same one.
Share your story. They just tap play.
One click, and your family can hear it — no app to download.
Not one storyteller. The whole family.
Other apps record one person talking into the void. Sommos is the family Arkive: everyone contributes, everyone curates.
Not files. Records.
A text disappears. A photo can’t tell you the story behind it. This is her actual voice — every tangent — that you can play back anytime, with the whole family adding their side. It never gets buried in a folder you stop opening.
Every family has stories. Sommos helps you find them.
In just three minutes a day, ask the questions you’ve been meaning to ask—and hear the stories you never saw coming. Fair warning: you never heard Mom like this.
