Every year you lived
left a layer.
We're building the tool to dig it back up.

Strata will read through years of your messages, notes, and photos — and turn them into an autobiography you can talk to. It's not ready yet. Leave your email and we'll let you know the moment it is.

Four layers down, one story up

An excavation has a method. So will Strata. Here's the process we're building toward — from the moment you'd connect an account to the moment you could ask your past a question.

01Surface

You'll hand over what you're comfortable with

Connect email, chat exports, photo libraries, or journal apps — one at a time, fully reversible. Nothing pulled automatically; every source an opt-in.

02Sediment

Strata will sort it into years, not folders

Messages, captions, and notes dated, deduplicated, and organized by lived chronology — the way memory actually works, not the way your inbox does.

03Core sample

Patterns will surface across the years

Recurring people, places, beliefs you held and later dropped, the language you used to talk about work, love, or money — indexed and cross-referenced.

04Artifact

You'll get something to hold and to ask

A written autobiography organized by year, plus a private chat that answers questions like "what was I worried about before the move?" — always sourced back to the original message.

The things you forgot you said

This is the vision we're building toward — not a search bar for your inbox, but something designed to notice what changed in you, and when.

Ask it anything, get the receipt

"What did I think about leaving my job?" will return an answer and the exact messages it's drawn from — never a guess dressed up as memory.

Belief drift over time

Tracking how your stated opinions on recurring topics — a person, a city, a career path — shifted year over year, and showing the turning points.

A written autobiography

Every excavation should end in a readable, year-by-year narrative — exportable as a book — stitched together from your own words, not generic phrasing.

The people who recur

Seeing who shows up across the most years of your archive, when they entered and faded from your day-to-day, and what your conversations were actually about.

This-week-in-history digest

An optional weekly note: what you were doing and feeling on this exact week, one, five, and ten years back. Quiet by default — you choose when to look back.

Milestone reconstruction

Rebuilding the full timeline of a specific chapter — a relationship, a job search, a move — pulling every related fragment into one ordered account.

You already lived it. We just want to help you read it back.

Most people generate a denser written record of their own life than any generation before them — and almost never look back at it in a way that means anything. We think the value isn't in storing that record. It's in organizing it the way memory actually works: by year, by person, by the things you changed your mind about.

— the team building Strata

This will be the most personal archive you own

We're designing the storage and access model first, before a single feature ships.

01

Encrypted at rest, per-user keys

The plan: your archive is encrypted with a key only your account holds. No shared model training set would ever see your raw data.

02

Delete a source, delete its layer

Disconnecting a source should remove everything derived from it — not just the connection, the indexed sediment too.

03

Export and walk away anytime

Your autobiography and raw archive should export as plain files. No lock-in to a format only Strata can read.

Questions people ask first

Is Strata available yet? +
Not yet — the core excavation engine is actively in development. Leaving your email is the fastest way to hear about private beta access before public launch.
What will it be able to connect to? +
We're starting with email exports, common chat export formats, photo library metadata, and plain-text journals or notes. The exact list may change before launch based on what early sign-ups ask for most.
Will anyone else ever see my archive? +
That's the commitment we're designing around: per-account encryption, no shared-model training on personal data, and full deletability. We'll publish the finished privacy policy before asking anyone to connect real data.
Will sign-up cost anything? +
No. Joining the list just means you'll hear from us when there's something to try — pricing will be shared closer to launch.
