Everything you might wonder.
What is a Starcard?
A Starcard is a group gift made of voices. Everyone who cares about someone records a short voice message, each one becomes a star in a private night sky, and the person you are gifting discovers them one at a time on their special day.
How much does it cost?
$9.99, once. There is no subscription. One price covers up to twenty-five voices, unlimited reviews until you are ready to send.
Do people need an account or an app to record?
No. You can invite people direct if you know their email, or you share one link, and everyone records right in their web browser. No accounts, no downloads. They tap, they talk, and they send when they are happy with it.
How many voices can I collect, and how long should they be?
Up to twenty-five voices per Starcard. There is no minimum length and you have 3 minutes of message time.
What occasions is it for?
Any moment worth marking: a birthday, wedding, graduation, retirement, a farewell, or just to tell someone how much they matter. If it's not a preset occasion you can create one. You choose the occasion when you create the card.
What is the final star?
The final star is the last star the recipient opens, so it lands at the end of the experience. You choose which message it is, and you can record your own to place there. The recipient still opens it when they are ready.
Do I have to use a riddle?
No, the riddle is optional and off by default. If you turn it on, you write a question only the recipient could answer, which unlocks their sky and shows the gift was made by someone who truly knows them.
How long can the recipient revisit their sky?
As long as their Starcard exists. They can return to their private link any time to reopen the messages and hear the voices again.
Is it private?
Yes. Each Starcard lives behind its own private link and is never listed publicly or indexed by search engines. Only the people you share the link with can record or open it.
Starcard vs a group card?
A group card collects messages from multiple people, but everyone writes on one card, the messages are text, and the recipient reads them once and moves on. A Starcard is audio: each person records a short voice message that becomes a star in a private night sky. The recipient hears the voices, not reads them, and can replay them any time.
What do you get someone who has everything?
A Starcard. Instead of another object, you give them the voices of everyone who cares about them: friends, family, coworkers, anyone with something to say. Each voice becomes a star they discover one at a time. It is personal, it comes from the whole group, and it costs $9.99 once.
How does a Starcard work, step by step?
1. Start a card: add their name, the occasion, and pick a sky. 2. Share one private link with everyone you want to include. 3. Each person records a short voice message in their browser, no account or app needed. 4. You approve each message and preview the actual card before sending. 5. Pay once, then send the recipient a private link, or sit down with them and open it together. 6. They discover the voices as stars in a private night sky, one at a time, for as long as the card exists.
Can I hear a sample before I pay?
Yes. You can create a card and see exactly how it will look before you pay anything. Once you are happy, you pay $9.99 and send it when the special day arrives.
What makes a good group gift?
A good group gift combines three things: it comes from everyone, not just one person; it is personal enough to matter; and it does not ask too much of the givers. A Starcard does this by having each person record a short voice message that becomes a star in a private night sky. Everyone contributes, it is deeply personal, and recording are very easy for contributors.
Can I try it before everyone records?
Yes. You can create the card, set everything up, and preview exactly how the sky will look before you send a single invite. If you record a test message first, you can hear how it sounds in the sky before anyone else joins.
What if someone doesn't know what to say in their voice message?
Most people record something short and simple: a memory, a joke, or just "I hope you have a great birthday." And if someone freezes, they can re-record as many times as they want. Messages can be up to three minutes, but most come in under a minute.
How is a Starcard different from a video message?
A video message asks someone to look good on camera and keep the lighting right. A voice message only asks them to speak. There is no camera, no lighting, no performance. It is easier to record, so more people actually do it, and the result is something the recipient listens to rather than watches.
Can I use Starcard for someone who is far away?
Yes. That is what it is made for. You share one link by text, email, IG, Tik-Tok, or anyway else. They record from their device (phone, tablet, computer), and the recipient opens their sky wherever they are. No app, no account, no shipping, no time zones.
