Proust (), a private place for families and close friends to share and preserve memories, today emerged from beta and launched interactive maps and timelines to help you tell the story of your life and get to know the ones you love by reading their stories.
Proust is free and easy to use, with questions organized into chapters designed to help guide you through the process of telling your story or to be used in interviewing loved ones to capture their memories.
Whether you prefer to answer Proust questions, jot down a long-standing family anecdote or recount the tale of a special place or time in your life, Proust is there with ways to inspire you to share.
Proust lets you view your story in multiple, fun formats from a basic feed of entries or a storybook to the new map and timeline views.

Like your Proust storybook, your timeline and map are safe with Proust. Proust protects your memories by storing them safely in the cloud where they are automatically backed up and always accessible. You can make every Proust memory private or share it with the family and friends you invite to view and comment.
Proust was inspired by the 19th century French writer Marcel Proust who is popularly associated with the "Proust Questionnaire." In his famous novel, the adult Proust describes biting into a Madeleine cookie and it bringing on a rush of childhood memories. Through writing prompts, Proust.com is designed to act as that proverbial Madeleine to help unlock your memories.
