About
We make magazines about real people. We take your photos, voice notes and stories and turn them into a glossy magazine with you on the cover. Then we save it forever online so it can never be lost, deleted or forgotten.
Impact
We make more memories than anyone in history and keep almost none worth holding. Phones die, platforms vanish, photos disappear. Zinefy gives people a permanent, owned record of their own life, in print and on chain, so the story actually survives.
Progress
A live studio shipping bespoke magazines to paying UK clients, from graduations to grief tributes. An AI intake engine prototype on Lovable turns raw photos and voice notes into editorial briefs. Growing pipeline of commissions and partnerships.
Team
I already do the hard part by hand: turning someone's raw memories into editorial-quality print people cry over. That manual work is the training data for the engine I'm building, so the studio and the technology grow from the same root.

The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
