Father's Day 2026
Surprise your dad with a biography of his life, written by you and the people who know him best.
A free tribute is a beautiful place to start. When you're ready, a Vivlore biography weaves the whole story together, chapters, photos, the voicemails you've kept on your phone for years, the lines he repeats every weekend.
Free to start. No card needed. Private until you choose to share it.
Below is an example biography we built for Brian Thompson, who is turning 60 this June. His wife and three grown children co-wrote it. Brian himself hasn't seen it yet.

And printed, for the shelf
Example biography
Sheffield, Yorkshire · turning 60 on Father's Day weekend · co-curated by his wife and three children
Five chapters across sixty years, from a Norfolk Park tower-block boyhood to the workshop on Brook Hill he opened the year his redundancy came through. With two recordings of his voice the family kept: a 1988 answer-phone message the night his eldest daughter was born, and a 2020 voice memo he made for his grandson's school project.
Read Brian's full biography→Three steps. Most families have the first chapter in by the end of an evening.
Add a couple of photos, a line about your dad, the year he was born. That's the whole sign-up. It costs nothing and takes about two minutes.
Mum, siblings, his oldest mate, your kids, each writes a memory in their own voice. You decide who can read it and who can contribute.
Open it together on Father's Day, or print the book for him to keep. He sees the whole life he's lived, in the voices of the people who lived it with him.
A lot of the dads we hear about are quiet men who didn't think anyone was paying attention. The ones who've been surprised this way mostly read for ten minutes, go quiet, then ask if their mate is in it. The voices are what make it land, it's not a tribute speech; it's the people he loves writing what they remember.
Yes. That's most of the point. You invite mum, your siblings, your kids, anyone you'd want a voice from. Each contributor writes in their own name; the biography is genuinely co-curated, not ghostwritten. The free tier supports unlimited collaborators.
Almost everyone says they don't want a fuss. Most of them mean it. The honest answer is that the book isn't really about the fuss, it's about giving him a record of the life he's lived, in the words of the people who lived it with him. You don't have to throw a party. You can hand it to him over a cup of tea.
A tribute is free, forever. A full biography is £5.99 a month for the Single tier, £15.99 a month for the Family tier (which supports unlimited contributors and bigger storage). You can start with the free tribute and upgrade when you're ready, no card to begin.
No. The biography keeps growing as long as you want it to. Plenty of families start before Father's Day, present what they have, and add the rest over the year that follows. Some are still adding chapters ten years later.
