VidDay alternative
A VidDay alternative for milestone videos with the stories around them
VidDay collects video messages and photos for group video gifts across birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, weddings, memorials, and other occasions. Autograph is for families who want those messages preserved inside a broader Memory Project.
Voice note
"What did this milestone mean to the people who showed up?"
A birthday video message led to stories from siblings, old coworkers, grandchildren, and friends from three different decades.
Videos, voice memories, photos, written notes, and milestone context preserved together.
Choose VidDay if
- You want a surprise group video gift.

Choose Autograph if

- You want photos, written memories, voice notes, and follow-up context together.
- You want a milestone archive, not only a single reveal.

Autograph workflow
From group video gift to milestone Memory Project
Autograph keeps the emotional contribution moment and adds structure for everything that does not fit in a final montage.
Define the project
Pick the event, memorial, reunion, birthday, anniversary, or chapter that deserves its own collection window.
Invite contributors
Share a simple project link so guests, relatives, and friends can add memories before, during, or after the moment.
Collect more than files
Bring in photos, videos, voice notes, written memories, and follow-up details that explain what happened and why it mattered.
Organize the story
Autograph turns scattered contributions into a private project library with the people, places, and moments connected.
Preserve the keepsake
The finished project can support a durable family keepsake instead of leaving everyone with another temporary gallery.
