At Rakonto we encourage users to tell stories in stages with whatever comes to mind, and over time these stories will gradually build up on your timeline to create a long life story that deserves to be preserved and shared on our beautiful platform with your friends and family.
Every story, no matter how big or small deserves to be preserved and shared on our platform, and we’re here every step of the way to help you and your story inspire others!
Get video stories from anyone – family, friends, clients, employees, partners, attendees, spectators and more – and publish in minutes without the hassle and expense.
No need for anyone using Rakonto to download or install any software, everything you need is on here with our easy-to-use platform. You can create, request, collect and publish videos in minutes without having to learn new tools and it’s completely FREE to get started.
We understand that recording a story for the first time can be difficult. Knowing what to say or where to start are normal concerns, and that’s why we created a help wizard to help you understand the layout, plus walkthrough tutorials to guide you through the recording process, while also viewing timelines to see how they look and viewing stories for inspirational ideas.
