Celebration Portrait
For a milestone: a birthday, a wedding, a new job, a farewell. Contributors answer prompts written for the occasion, so the messages feel right for the day.
How it works
One person organises. Everyone contributes.
All You Mean gathers what people really think of someone, in their own words, and shapes it into one private keepsake. Here is the whole journey.
For the organiser
From idea to reveal in five steps.
Create the project
Sign in to the app and name the adult it is for. Choose the occasion, a deadline of 3, 7 or 14 days, and whether people will send a message and a photo (Classic) or can add a voice note too (Keepsake).
Share one private link
The app gives you a single invitation link. Send it however your group already talks: a group chat, an email, a card. Anyone with the link can contribute; nobody needs an account.
Review what arrives
Each contribution waits for you. Accept it, return it with a note asking for a change, hide it or delete it. Nothing reaches the keepsake without your say-so, and you cannot quietly rewrite someone’s words.
Choose a style
Pick one of 49 styles and see it straight away, on a phone or a wide screen. Changing the style never changes what anyone wrote.
Finish and share
When you are happy, complete the project. You get the printable PDF and, with Keepsake, the Story Reveal and a download of everything accepted. Share it privately with the person it is for.
For contributors
Two minutes, no account.
Open the link you were sent, on any phone or computer. Write something true, add one photograph, and if the organiser chose Keepsake, record a voice note of up to 45 seconds.
After you send it, you get your own private edit link. Until the deadline you can come back to change your words, replace your photo, or withdraw and delete what you sent.
- Your contact details are not collected or shown to anyone else
- Only the organiser sees your contribution before it is included
- Your words appear as you wrote them
Two kinds of portrait
Celebrate a moment, or the whole person.
Living Portrait
For no reason at all, or every reason. Gentle prompts help people say what they see in someone, for example:
- What do you think I am known for? Include one real example.
- What quality in me might I not recognise? What have you seen that supports it?
- What memory best captures who I am?
Who it is for
Adults, and the moments worth marking.
All You Mean is for adults: the organiser, the person it is for, and everyone who contributes. It is made for warm, low-sensitivity occasions.
It is not for children, memorials, health matters or anything confidential, and it never asks people to rate or criticise anyone.
