Say it once.
Keep it for every generation after.
The Long Take is a place to record your stories, upload your pictures and video, and leave them somewhere your family can actually find them — in fifty years, not just fifty days.

Three ways to leave something true behind.
Not everything worth keeping is a photograph. Some of it is a voice. Some of it is just you, talking, on an ordinary Tuesday.
Write it, or say it out loud
Type a memory, or record yourself telling it. We keep both the words and the voice — tone matters as much as the story.
Upload the ones that matter
From your phone, an old shoebox scan, or a hard drive you forgot about. We keep the full-resolution original, always.
Film yourself, plainly
A birthday, a kitchen table conversation, an answer to a question your grandchildren haven't thought to ask yet.
Four steps, then it's out of your hands.
Record
Talk, write, film, or scan — whatever gets the memory out of your head and into a file.
Upload
Drop it into your archive from any device. No formatting, no editing required.
We preserve
Every file is copied across independent storage and checked yearly for quiet decay.
It's kept
Set who inherits access, and when. Your archive outlives the account that made it.
What one memory looks like, kept.
RUNTIME
"I want to tell you about the year we drove to the coast with no map, because your grandmother said the map would ruin it."
Kept the way an archive is kept, not the way an app is kept.
No feed, no likes, no algorithm
This isn't social media. Nothing you upload is shown to anyone but the people you name.
Migrated forward, automatically
When a file format falls out of use, we convert your archive to whatever replaces it — before it goes obsolete.
A named keeper, not just an account
Every archive has a designated inheritor. If something happens to you, it doesn't happen to your archive.
