— Guiding Forward launches a platform that captures a parent’s stories on video alongside the practical guidance their family will one day need.
Guiding Forward today announced the official launch of its family legacy platform, a new service designed to help parents and grandparents preserve personal stories on video while securely organizing the practical information their families may need in the future.
The launch introduces two core components: the Family Guidance Vault, which stores documents, accounts, contacts, instructions, and final wishes, and the Personal Legacy Library, which enables users to record guided video stories, create searchable transcripts, organize memories by life chapters, and generate a digital legacy book for family access.
The company said the platform was developed in response to a common challenge faced by families during illness, aging, or loss: important practical information is often scattered, while personal stories, values, and advice may never be recorded.
“Many families focus on legal and financial preparation, but they also want to preserve the voice, stories, and wisdom that cannot be reconstructed later,” said Kirill Kharlip, founder of Guiding Forward. “We built Guiding Forward to bring those two needs together in one place.”
As part of the launch, Guiding Forward has also released a free two-minute readiness check intended to help families assess whether key guidance, documents, and personal memories have been preserved and shared with the appropriate people.
The platform includes:
● Secure storage for important family information
● Guided video prompts for recording life stories
● Searchable transcripts of recorded memories
● Family tree and timeline features
● Chapter-based digital legacy books
● Time-released messages for future delivery
● Export options and family-controlled access permissions
According to the company, privacy and family ownership are central to the service. Guiding Forward states that user content is protected through encryption and access controls, and that family legacy materials are not used for advertising purposes.
Kharlip, who previously worked in documentary filmmaking through UDocs Films, said the interviewing approach influenced the design of the platform’s recording experience. Rather than relying solely on questionnaires, the service uses structured prompts intended to encourage more natural storytelling across topics such as childhood, relationships, career, parenthood, and life lessons.
Guiding Forward is offering Essential and Complete subscription plans for individuals and families who want to organize practical information and preserve personal memories for future generations. Gift options are also available for adult children who wish to start legacy conversations with parents or grandparents.
The company said the platform is intended for families at different stages of life, including new parents, grandparents, caregivers, and individuals preparing for major life transitions.
The launch is available immediately through the company’s website.
