Heirloom
a continuation of you

Build the version of yourself
that gets to stay.

A private archive of your voice, memories, beliefs, and the things you most want your family to remember. A daily assistant that becomes a digital twin they can sit with after you're gone.

the practice

A daily assistant that becomes a lasting heirloom.

No. 01

Capture in seconds

A always-visible quick-capture bar turns any thought, reminder, or memory into the right kind of entry. The Twin sorts as you go.

No. 02

Sit with the biographer

A patient AI biographer asks one careful question at a time, drawing out the stories only you can tell.

No. 03

Speak into the silence

Press a key on your PC and talk. Your voice is transcribed and folded into the archive — the way you actually sound, the way you actually think.

No. 04

Become a continuation

Designate the people you trust. Years from now, they sit with your twin and ask what they always wished they had.

heirloom desktop · windows

A real desktop app. Not a chatbot.

Heirloom Desktop is a native Windows app that puts your twin in front of you — a talking-head avatar, full chat thread, push-to-talk, quick-capture journal, and a sidebar of recent memories. Closes to the system tray, runs forever. Drag the avatar out as its own borderless window for OBS streaming.

  • · Resizable avatar panel — D-ID talking head when twin speaks, animated waveform when you do
  • · Cloned-voice playback through ElevenLabs — your twin sounds like you
  • · Push-to-talk (Ctrl+Space) — hold, speak, release, twin replies
  • · Pop-out avatar window for OBS streaming overlays
  • · Local Vault — every conversation captured to your disk, your folder, your tier

Double-click Heirloom.bat — ~60s setup, no Python knowledge needed. Build a real Heirloom.exe later via the bundled PyInstaller script.

three storage tiers — your call
Full
Keep every chat turn + every voice clip forever. True legacy archive. Biggest disk footprint.
Partial · recommended
Keep audio 30 days, transcripts forever. ~10× smaller. Best balance for most.
Lite
Keep only the daily summary + extracted facts. Raw conversation is purged the day after.
all tiers
A nightly compaction job extracts the durable facts from each day's conversation and uploads them to your twin's permanent knowledge — so chat actually grows your twin. Local pruning never affects what your twin remembers.
a note on what this is, and isn't

Heirloom does not pretend to be you. It collects the truest pieces of you — in your words, in your voice — so the people you love can keep being held by them.
