The easiest retirement video maker — colleagues, friends and family record short videos from their phones, and we turn them into one reel. No app. No editing.

Thirty years of work, and the send-off is a sheet cake in the break room and a card that went round for signatures. The people with the most to say are usually the ones who never get the microphone.
The colleague who moved on five years ago. The mentee now running a team two states over. The person who retired before them. None of them are at the lunch. All of them can be in the reel.
Not everyone will stand up in a conference room and give a toast. Most people say more to a camera alone in their car than they'd ever say in front of the whole department.
A card gets read once and put in a drawer. A reel gets watched on the drive home, again with their spouse that night, and again a year into retirement.
Ask someone to “say a few words” and they'll write three sentences and delete them. Ask them something specific and they'll talk for a minute without thinking about it.
The person who always ends up organizing it. One link replaces the group card, the reply-all thread, and the awkward speech nobody volunteered for.
You know what this person meant to the team. Now you can collect what they meant to everyone else, including the people who left years ago.
Thirty years of work happened somewhere you weren't. This is how you find out what it looked like from the inside — and give it to them.
No farewell lunch to gather at. People record from four time zones and it still arrives as one reel on their last day.
It's the first thing every organizer worries about. Here's what actually happens.
That's the case this was built for. People record from wherever they are, on their own time, in the browser they already have open. Nobody needs to be in the room.
You send one link. That's the job. You can see who's recorded and who hasn't, so a single reminder in the team channel usually closes the gap.
Nothing to install, no account to make. They tap the link and the camera opens. They can re-record as often as they like — nobody sees the takes they don't send.
One credit covers one person, however many videos they record. No subscription, no ads, and credits never expire — so leftovers roll into the next send-off.
Enough for a small team reel start to finish. No card required to try it.
You only pay for folks who actually record, and a bigger reel costs less per person.
No. They tap your link and record right in their phone or computer browser. No downloads, no signups, nothing to install.
Yes. Anyone you send the link to can record, whether they still work there or retired themselves five years ago. That's usually where the best stories come from.
Your first 5 credits are free. After that you buy credits in packs that get cheaper the more you add: 10 for $10, 25 for $22, 50 for $40, or 100 for $75. One credit covers one person no matter how many videos they record.
Only the people you invite. The reel is private and isn't listed or searchable anywhere.
No. You don't stitch clips, sync audio, or pick transitions. Folksee compiles the finished reel for you.
Yes. After they watch it, they can record a one-minute thank-you that goes to everyone who contributed.
About a week, and expect to remind them once. Most reels fill up faster than that.
Free for your first 5 contributors. No credit card. Ready in minutes.
Why a reel and not a plaque
Thirty years of work, and most of what people feel about it never gets said out loud. A reel takes the room away, so it finally lands.
