From the ancient Egyptians to modern-day techies, preserving family history has been the goal of countless communities. While every generation shares events, memories and legacies differently – the end result is often a budding family tree nurtured with love and wisdom.
But did you know that oral family history can be lost in just three generations? That’s where modern solutions like CircleIt come in – making it easy for entire families to work together recording, sharing and storing those precious family memories for countless generations. All it takes is just a few taps of a finger with the easy-to-use generational platform.
Safeguard Your Legacy
How and where to start can be a daunting task. Most families have vintage photos, treasured heirlooms or meaningful traditions that are passed from generation to generation.

You can record answers to the following questions manually in a notebook or on your computer – or download CircleIt from the AppStore or Google Play and start ensuring your legacy (and theirs) securely lives through the ever-growing branches of your family tree.

A first-of-its-kind technology built to preserve your legacy.
CircleIt, available in the App Store and Google Play was inspired by the story of a unique gift left from beyond the grave. The family of CircleIt founder, Art Shaikh, was left with gifts from his father to be delivered after he passed. These thoughtful gifts and messages allowed his father to continue sending reminders of his love to his family long after he was gone. It helped ensure his story lives on through future generations. And, it’s this unique sentiment that inspired the birth of CircleIt.
Sending gifts and messages to loved ones from beyond the grave isn’t exactly new. Whether it’s a wife receiving flowers on Valentine’s Day each year after her husband’s passing, or a daughter getting flowers from her father years after he had passed, families have long looked for ways to connect with their loved ones after they’re gone. With CircleIt, there’s now a centralized place for people to preserve their memories and facilitate gift and flower deliveries for years to come – which is something you can’t find from traditional social media and other communication platforms. “Every technology of today is bound by time. Everything is now, now, now. It’s for the likes,” Shaikh said. “There’s not a single technology out there to safeguard your legacy for generations.”
Through patented technology, CircleIt enables the creation and scheduling of chat messages, cards and physical gifts to be delivered at any future date. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Art Shaikh and his team have big plans for future releases of CircleIt. “We want our users to grow with us. Our goal is to become the global go-to platform for legacy planning, preservation and fulfillment.”
