ALS and voice-loss conditions
Capture stories, advice, and "I love you" while the voice is still strong. Short sessions, in bed if needed. We make space for it to be slow and tender.
Preserve a Voice
A gentle way to preserve a voice — while there is still time
Built for families navigating ALS, dementia, cancer, and the slow erosion of time. Short recordings. Guided prompts. Private to those you love. No pressure, no performance.
Built for the moments that matter
Early-stage dementia
Record while memory is intact. Family can listen back later as an anchor, when conversations have become harder. Reminiscence therapy is built on exactly this.
Palliative and end-of-life care
Messages for grandchildren who will grow up after. Words for spouses, for siblings, for the unborn. Recorded in your own time, on your own terms.
Your privacy is our foundation
We built blyven with security and privacy at its core. Your memories belong to you — always.
Zero-knowledge architecture
We cannot access your recordings or transcriptions. Your data is encrypted so that only you and your circle can read it.
End-to-end encryption
Your voice recordings are encrypted in transit and at rest. No one — not even us — can listen to them without your permission.
Data stays in the EU
All data is stored exclusively in EU data centers (Frankfurt & Ireland). We never transfer your data outside the European Union.
Complete deletion guaranteed
When you delete your account, everything is permanently removed. No hidden backups, no data retention beyond your control.
Never sold, never used for AI
Your recordings are never sold to third parties and never used to train AI models. Your voice stays yours.
You control access
Fine-grained sharing controls let you decide exactly who hears each recording. Revoke access anytime.
Questions families ask us
What if speaking has already become harder?
Any voice still matters. A weaker voice, a shorter sentence, even a held silence — these are still the person you love. blyven has no minimum length, no quality check, no judgement. Many families also record alongside their loved one, so the recording is two voices together.
How is this different from voice banking?
Voice banking is a clinical service — it creates a synthetic voice from short standardized phrases for AAC devices. blyven captures real, freely told stories. They complement each other. Many families do both.
Is this morbid? I don't want it to feel like preparing for the end.
We hear you. Most families tell us the opposite — that recording felt like more time, not less. The act of sitting down to ask real questions, and being heard, is the gift. The recording is just what stays after.
Who has access if something happens?
You decide. By default, only the person and their family circle. On request, blyven can transfer ownership of recordings to a designated family member, automatically after a chosen date, or after a defined period of no activity. You stay in control.
When you're ready, we're here
There's no rush. blyven is free to start. Record one story, or many. Share with two people, or twenty. The choice is always yours.
