In their own words
Eternida
Eternida is a browser-based service for turning memories, photographs, letters, and stories into a book, narrated film, and private family space. Memories can be shared through conversation, writing, photographs, or voice, while relatives can add interviews, photos, and memories to a profile. An AI collaborator helps shape recollections and answers into chapters in the user’s voice. Uploaded audio can be transcribed with Whisper into searchable, editable text for stories. Eternida produces print-ready PDF books and shareable narrated films, and raw stories can be exported at any time. Stories are private by default, encrypted in transit and at rest, and not sold or used to train public models. It works in a browser on a computer, tablet, or phone without installation. The Free plan costs nothing and includes browsing profiles and stories, reading public content, and creating a profile. Credit packs start at $2.99, paid once, provide 300–8,000 credits, and never expire.
Folio Studio
Folio Studio is browser-based book layout software for independent authors making novels, essays, memoirs and picture books. It imports Markdown, DOCX, ODT and PDF manuscripts, then detects and structures chapters. Authors can choose from 15 typographic templates for formats such as novels, poetry, thrillers and fantasy, with real-time preview. Chapter tools include summaries, style analysis, opening rewrites and proofreading. The Pro manuscript bible organizes characters and relationships and points out possible inconsistencies alongside source passages for the author to assess. Export choices include epub, PDF and DOCX; the site says epub export is free, while DOCX and print-ready exports are available from Starter. The cover studio offers 2D and 3D previews and can produce a 300 DPI print-ready PDF with calculated spine width, bleed and a reserved barcode zone. The Free plan costs nothing and allows one active project, selected templates, epub and watermark-free PDF, one introductory AI action and one full-page illustration. Pro costs €9 a month; Starter is listed at €499 a month. Folio Studio works in modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, with no installation required.
