For a birthday
We love a birthday you can see as well as hear! Use Chorus to gather video messages from family and friends for the birthday person, along with voice notes, photos and writing.
Gathering everyone's messages is free. You won't need a card.

Chorus, thanks so much! I'm not technical and found this so easy. The book is a family heirloom now.

The podcast link is brilliant - you just get things you couldn't get in a book like laughing or the background in a recording! I am so happy we have this for all the grandkids.

SUPER idea. In a world where we're all so disconnected, capturing all the things we mean to each other is just priceless. Make the time, do it!

Hear it
With one link the birthday person plays every video, one after another, with each name on it. The voice notes, photos and songs are in there too.
What's your toast to Eoin?
his friend
To Eoin! You're loyal to the bone and you've never once let me down. Happy fortieth!

Each person can pick a song that reminds them of the birthday person. It plays from their place in the podcast, and prints on their page in the book.
They can each record a message on their own phone. Nobody needs an account.
Everyone can answer their own way, with a voice note, a video or a few written lines.
A code under each message plays the voice from the book. You can switch the codes off if you'd like the page without them.
Turn on chip-in and everyone can put money towards the book.
The free Chorus app
Grandma might never open a link, and that's ok! Sit down together, ask her one of the questions and hold up your phone while she talks.
