Reminisce in the App
RITA helps you ask the questions that spark the stories. Their voice, their memories, kept exactly as they told them.
What do you remember about your street growing up?
It's funny that, I've not thought about them things for years.
— a real quote from a RITA user
How it works
A photograph does something words can't. It takes someone straight back. Pick one from your camera roll and watch their face change. But if you don't have one, just start talking.
110 prompts across 11 life categories. There are even prompts for little ones, capturing the wonder of growing up right now. Pick a storyteller and RITA remembers which questions they have already been asked, so every conversation picks up where the last one left off. Use a prompt to get started, or ignore it entirely. Once people get going, the best thing you can do is stay quiet and let them talk.
Their voice. Their words. Exactly as they said them. Saved on your phone with a full transcript. No account needed. No internet required. Upgrade to RITA Plus for encrypted cloud backup — so your memories are safe even if you lose your phone.

110 prompts
Growing up. School days. First times. Food and home. Love and all that. RITA has 110 conversation starters across 11 life categories, written to feel like something you'd actually say at a kitchen table. Choose a storyteller and RITA shows which prompts have already been asked, so every session covers new ground.
Who RITA is for
For anyone who keeps meaning to ask
You've been meaning to sit down properly. To ask about their life before you were in it. How they met, where they lived, who they were. RITA makes that conversation easy to start and impossible to lose.
Care sector & NHS
RITA creates shared Care Spaces where staff record conversations with residents and families listen from home. Free for care teams, encrypted, and built for the realities of professional care. See how it works
RITA Care
RITA Care creates shared spaces where staff record conversations with residents and families listen from their own phone, anywhere in the country.
Download RITA for free. Tap "Are you a care team?" and sign in. Create a space for each person by name. Any staff member picks up the tablet and records.
RITA offers 110 conversation prompts designed for these moments. Add a photo. Press record. The recording saves to a shared space that the whole team can see.
Invite family by email. They sign in on their own phone, enter a code, and can hear every recording from wherever they are. A daughter in Bristol listens that evening.
Resident profiles
After each recording, RITA asks if anything worth remembering came up. Facts are confirmed by a person before they appear on the profile. A new carer reads it in thirty seconds: preferred name, key people, what makes them smile. No starting from zero.
Built for the hard days too
Because family members access recordings from their own phone, there is never a retrieval process, never a box of files to find. Their mum's voice, her stories, the photo from that afternoon in the garden. Already there, already theirs.
