01
Start with one free book
Choose a milestone, share a contribution link and deliver a personal keepsake. No IT project to test the idea.
Create a free Memory BookFor HR and People Ops
Your company already celebrates birthdays and work anniversaries. Give those moments somewhere to live. Collect colleagues' stories, photos and personal messages in a Memory Book worth keeping.
Start free. Up to 30 contributors. No contributor account needed.
The business case
Your HR system sends a reminder. Someone posts in Slack. Colleagues add a few reactions. A week later, the conversation has moved on. TeamChapter gives the moment a different ending: a book built around the person, not the channel.
Status quo
Quick to send. Easy to lose among the next conversations.
With TeamChapter
Specific stories and photos collected together in a place they can revisit.
Keep Slack for communication. Use TeamChapter for the memory.
The opportunity
HR work often happens behind the scenes. A personal Memory Book is something colleagues can actually open, share and remember. Start with one celebration and show your team what thoughtful recognition looks like.
Prompts help colleagues write about real experiences rather than another one-line congratulations.
Share a link instead of collecting messages across email, chat and documents.
Start with a birthday or anniversary. Decide later which other milestones to recognize.
How to start
01
Choose a milestone, share a contribution link and deliver a personal keepsake. No IT project to test the idea.
Create a free Memory Book02
Get the source code for $99 and use Cursor, Claude Code or Codex to adapt branding, milestones and workflows. Review and test changes before deployment.
Explore the technical approach03
Deploy on company-controlled infrastructure, configure employee data and notifications, and make milestones a repeatable process.
Share with your technical teamYour first month
Pick an upcoming milestone. Create a free book and invite colleagues.
Deliver the book. Ask for feedback and note the coordination time.
Show the finished experience and participation to your manager.
Choose whether to repeat it manually or plan a wider rollout with IT.
Why another tool?
Great for conversation and invitations. Not designed around delivering a personal Memory Book.
Track dates and automate reminders. Personal stories still need a place to be collected.
Already collect greetings and can create keepsakes. TeamChapter adds guided memories and a customizable application.
May cover broader employee rewards and recognition. TeamChapter offers a focused experience and a one-time source-code option.
Make it yours
Use Cursor, Claude Code or Codex to help adjust branding, milestones, contribution prompts, reminder workflows and localization. Your developers can review and deploy changes. Visual builders may need additional adaptation for the existing backend.
Practical questions
For a quick congratulations, it may be. TeamChapter collects contributions around one person and occasion, so the result is a Memory Book rather than a message lost in a channel.
Reminders tell you when to celebrate. TeamChapter helps colleagues contribute the personal stories and photos that make the celebration meaningful.
Group cards also collect greetings. TeamChapter focuses on guided memories, milestone workflows and the option to customize and operate the application yourself.
Yes. Create one free Memory Book and share its contribution link. Contributors don't need accounts. The free book supports up to 30 contributors.
The organizer can follow up. A self-hosted rollout can configure notification and reminder workflows.
Yes. They contribute through the shared link.
The source-code version can be adapted for additional milestone types.
AI coding tools can help you describe changes in plain English. Have a developer review, test and deploy production changes.
Visual builders may require changes to the existing backend and runtime. Cursor, Claude Code and Codex are more direct choices for working on this repository.
Choose the milestones and organizers, then work with IT to configure employee imports, reminders and deployment. Start with one team before scaling.
Share a finished book, contribution rate, organizer time and recipient feedback. A real pilot is easier to evaluate than a slide deck.
A one-time source-code license under the commercial terms. Hosting, external services, implementation and maintenance are separate.
Your next initiative
Choose a milestone, invite the people who know them and give someone something worth keeping.
