Why stars
In My Life Timeline, people who are still here shine as moving light. When someone has passed, their trail stops and their light rises into the sky as a star. The metaphor is simple on purpose: they remain in the frame of your story.
How to mark someone who has passed
- Add them with their name and birth year
- Choose Passed away
- Enter the age or year they passed
- Pick a color that feels like them
When you scrub past that year — or play the full story — their light becomes a star, and their years still appear on the ending card.
Keep the tone human
- Use the names you actually say aloud
- Write ending words that sound like you, not a caption template
- Remember estimates for living people are optional story tools, not forecasts
Sharing with care
If you download a video for a memorial, birthday, or family chat, check that every year is something you are comfortable sharing. The studio keeps your entries in your browser until you clear them.

Open the studio, add the people you love, and let the light carry their years.
