Spirantix products
Our developing product family helps with memory, stories, authenticity, and family possessions. The experience begins with one concierge, so you do not need to decide which specialist to ask.
Your starting point
You explain what you need once. The concierge listens, guides the conversation, and brings in Emery, Capsa, Addie, or Heri when their specialty can help.

The Companion
Memory support, daily planning, gentle reminders, and familiar moments for people living with memory loss.
Meet Emery
The Storyteller
Helps families capture the stories, memories, and experiences that deserve to be carried forward.
Meet Capsa
The Guardian
Certifies photos and documents with tamper-evident proof of their authenticity and provenance.
Meet Addie
The Steward
Catalogs, documents, and protects the possessions and history that make up a family legacy.
