Until 120
A beautifully made book, their own voice reading it, and a private archive your family keeps for good.
Every year, a few more details slip away — a phrase, a story, the exact sound of a voice.
add120 captures all of it while there's still time: a life told in their own words, read aloud in their own voice, and held somewhere your family will always be able to reach.
What we make
Hear it
The rarest gift add120 makes: a voice that can read anything, in any year — a bedtime story to a grandchild not yet born, a letter on a wedding day, a prayer on a hard morning. Made once, and there for them always.
A real add120 voice, cloned from a single sitting — read in their own voice.
How it works
A few unhurried conversations, in person or by video.
We listen for the stories that matter — and the ones you forgot to ask for.
The book, the voice, the archive — crafted over a few weeks.
We place it in your family's hands as the heirloom it is.
Every file belongs to you, to keep forever.
Why we exist
I started add120 because the most precious thing a person leaves behind — the sound of their voice, the way they tell a story — is the one thing we never think to save, until it's gone.
We're a small studio of writers, archivists, and careful engineers who treat every archive the way we'd treat our own grandmother's — privately, patiently, and for keeps.

À la carte
Keeping it · Membership
Year one is included with every package.An archive is a living thing — hosted, encrypted, backed up, and added to. After the first year, a quiet annual membership — or a single lifetime endowment — keeps everything safe and growing, so nothing is ever lost.
Priced in multiples of chai (18) — the Hebrew number for life. Bundled, each package saves against à-la-carte.
The promise
We begin with the book.
Nothing is made without consent.
Every file belongs to your family.
This is someone's life, and we treat it that way. The book and the archive are yours to hold — so even if we vanished tomorrow, you'd still have everything.
See it for real
Built from one remarkable life — the book, the voice, and the archive, exactly as your family would receive them.

"When someone we love is gone, it's their voice we reach for first — and the first thing that fades. I started add120 so no family would have to lose it. If someone's on your mind, let's just talk — no script, no pressure."— Karine Merkur, founder
