DONEO24 · Echo

An evening with your grandparents. Stories to keep.

What was life like back then? Which story do you keep telling? And what have we never asked each other?

Make time to listen. The DONEO24 Echo family time capsule gives you questions, conversation cards and ideas for photos and recordings. Capture your stories together and rediscover them later.

Family time capsule · €9.90 once · no subscription

The downloadable package and previews are in German. Buy without an account. Fill in digitally or print.

Listen. Capture. Rediscover.

Start a conversation

60 memory prompts and twelve conversation cards help you begin. Choose what you want to talk about. One question can be enough; skip any others you prefer.

Keep more than words

Capture a voice, shared laughter or an object with a story. Eight memory activities offer ideas for your own photos, audio and short videos.

Keep your own memories

Save the completed files and your recordings on your own devices. You decide who receives them and when to open them again.

How your evening could begin

Put an old photo on the table, choose a question and listen. Nobody has to tell their whole life story. Fill in the workbook together, write down answers or make a short recording with permission.

These five questions are translated from the German workbook:

  • Which childhood memory instantly makes you smile?
  • What used to be taken for granted and is completely different today?
  • Which shared meal is part of your story?
  • Which tradition do you want to keep alive?
  • What advice would you have needed at eighteen?

You may know some answers already. Or you may hear a story for the first time that would otherwise get lost in everyday life.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a separate grandparents product?

You receive the existing DONEO24 Echo family time capsule. This page shows how to use it for an evening with grandparents. The prompts also suit other family members and people who matter to you.

Do grandparents have to type on a computer?

No. You can print the workbook and conversation cards. Or one person can handle writing and files while you share stories together.

Do we need an account or a subscription?

No. You can buy without an account. The package costs €9.90 once.

Do we need paid PDF software?

No. A free PDF reader supporting interactive form fields is sufficient. Browser PDF viewers do not always support every feature reliably. Save your own copy, reopen it and check that your entries were saved.

Are our stories sent to DONEO24?

When filling in this downloaded package, your content stays where you save it. DONEO24 Echo does not receive your completed files or recordings. This package needs no AI feature. Necessary order data is processed for purchase and download.

Privacy details
Do we have to take photos or make recordings?

No. You decide what to capture. Before taking photos or making recordings, agree with everyone involved whether they are comfortable with it and who may see or hear the files later.

How long can we download and use the package?

The download is normally available for 72 hours and up to five counted download requests. The limits applying to your purchase appear on the download page. Save the package on your device after buying. You can then continue using your saved copy for private use.

Is the capsule sent automatically on the chosen date?

No. The opening date is your own arrangement. You store the files and organise handover yourselves. Check your backups regularly.

Which story would you like to hear first?

Begin with a question and some time together. The DONEO24 Echo family time capsule gives you a framework for your own memories.
