Personal & life
Your year, your trips, your invitations
A year in review from your own photos and numbers, a trip drawn on a real map, an invitation with every detail a guest needs. Your agent works from your material and invents nothing.

Questions
Can it use my own photos and numbers?
Yes. The Year Director works from your photos, dates and numbers, in the order you give them. It never guesses a fact from a file's date or name, and never fills a gap with a made-up photo.
Can it draw my trip on a map?
Yes. The Trip Director (in testing; not on sale yet) draws your route stop by stop on a real map, with the dates and distances, and keeps homes and hotels private.
Can it make an invitation?
Yes. The Invitation Director makes a birthday, wedding or party invitation that moves, with every detail a guest needs: what, when, where and how to reply.
