How do I create a project from scratch in Remento?

To start from scratch, follow these steps:

1. When you open the Remento app, you'll be taken to the My Projects page. In the bottom-right corner is a yellow button with a + symbol. Press this to start a new project.
2. You'll be shown sets of prompts. Prompts can be filtered by the person you want to have a conversation with. By default, "For Parents" will be selected. You can change this at any time.
3. Regardless of which person you chose, if you scroll down to the bottom of the "Choose a Set of Prompts" page you'll find the "Start from Scratch" section. You can choose "Start with Questions," which will open our library of questions, or "Start with Your Photos" which will open up your photo library.
4. Whether you are starting from scratch or using one of our pre-created sets, everything is customizable. You can edit the pre-written questions, write your own, or add photos.

What are prompts and how do they work?

Prompts are the questions and photos you choose to guide a conversation and help uncover memories and stories.

Prompts are organized into pre-crafted sets of prompts to make it easy to get started. Tap on a set of prompts after pressing "+" on the home page, or, navigate to the bottom of the page and tap "Start from scratch" to build a set of prompts yourself. Once selected, you can either record as-is, or tap “Edit Prompts” to rearrange, delete, add, or edit the prompts.

Can I customize prompts?

Yes! Once you've selected a set of prompts, tap “Edit Prompts." In this view, you can tap on the prompt to edit, delete, or rearrange the order. You can also write your own questions, upload photos, or choose a new question from our Library by tapping “Add Prompts.”

What happens to the content I record?

Videos recorded with Remento stay on your device in the Remento app. This means deleting the app deletes all content. Unless you have iCloud backup set to sync all your phone’s data to Apple, your videos will not be backed up. For this reason, we recommend exporting your videos for safekeeping.
