share stories
Gather around the Kinoke table to share stories with family and friends. Fill your Kinoke box with anything — we’ll digitize it all so you and your loved ones can revisit the memories and share the stories behind them in the Kinoke app.
Fill the box
Fill this box with photos, tapes, slides, reels-anything! We'll digitize everything you can fit inside, then upload all of it to the Kinoke app.
Invite family and friends
Invite everyone who was part of those moments in your life so you can all share stories and reminisce together in the app. Family, friends, old neighbors, anybody!
Begin receiving weekly story prompts
You and everyone you invited will begin receiving weekly story prompts in the Kinoke app about the memories you digitized. Then, let the magic begin!
The Kinoke app is ready for you — with or without the Kinoke Box. Kinoke is all about capturing life's "Kinoke Moments", which are any moments in your life that end up getting told as stories later on. Stories told by one person are meaningful — but stories shared by everyone who was there are even better. That’s why anyone you invite can contribute to a story, with no limits.
With over 200 million memories preserved (and counting!), there is no better way to preserve and share the stories behind your old memories than with ScanCafe and Kinoke.
Photography
From prints to slides to negatives, we'll digitize all your treasured photos. Our team carefully scans each image, preserving it with the highest possible resolution.
Tapes
We'll transfer your old tapes to digital! We can transfer VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Hi8, Digital8, DVCAM, Betamax and more. We'll preserve your precious moments on tape from family celebrations to school plays.
Audio
Whether it’s a favorite song, or a family story, we’ll bring your audio memories back to life. Send in your audio cassettes, or reel-to-reel recordings, and our skilled technicians will preserve each one with crystal-clear, high-quality sound.
Reels
Bring back the magic of your old home movies! We digitize 8mm, Super 8, 16mm, and 35mm film with or without sound, using advanced technology to deliver smooth, flicker-free playback and vibrant colors.
Unlimited use cases
Stories about photos. Stories about family. Stories about people. Stories about trips. Stories about kids. Kinoke is the place you tell stories together about all of the "Kinoke moments" in your life.
Unlimited people
Think of Kinoke like one big group chat for telling stories together. Invite as many people as you would like.
Unlimited stories
If everybody in the family chimes in over who really broke the toilet seat — that’s exactly what Kinoke is for. There’s no limit to how many stories (or storytellers) you can have.
Video and voice
Writing down a story will never match the magic of telling it. Kinoke has a strong emphasis on everybody using their voice for the stories shared.
AI story prompts
Give the Kinoke app a short description of a story, event, time period, anything. Then, the entire group will receive automated story prompts tailored to the description or photos uploaded.
AI follow-up questions
Some details get left out of a story? Harry the Robot wants to know more! Receive AI-automated-follow-up questions to stories told in the app (this is optional).
