Common questions before you sign up.
What is Aria?
Aria is the interview guide inside Stories by Campfire. You talk; she asks follow-ups and keeps the recording so you can listen later.
Do I need an account to try it?
You can browse Ada’s fictional sample archive without signing in. Recording your own stories requires a free account.
Is the demo real data?
No. The demo is clearly labeled sample fiction. It cannot edit data, invite families, or reach anyone else’s archive.
Who can see my stories?
Only you, until you share into a family feed. Read more on the privacy page.
What do Archive, Life, and Library mean?
Archive is your personal story list (the Archive tab). Life opens the Life Graph of people, places, and claims. Library holds media and documents you link in. Narratives drafts live under Life Graph → Narratives.
Can I use it offline after installing?
Installing adds a home-screen shortcut. Aria interviews and your archive still need a live connection to the server. If you open the app offline, you’ll see a reconnect page — get back online and try again.
Where do I create an account?
Start free, or sign in if you already have one.
