Memoir's Timeline: every memory, day by day A memory in Memoir with its photos, place and people Memoir's Today screen: a year ago today, Maya turned eight

Thousands of photos. Hardly any of the story.

Your camera roll remembers what things looked like. It forgets who was there, what was said, and why it mattered. Memoir keeps that part.

Keep

A moment, kept in seconds.

Write a line, add the photos. The place, the weather and who was with you come with it.

  • Photos, videos and voice notes in one memory
  • Place and weather filled in for you
  • Tag the people who were there

Remember

It comes back to you.

A year ago today. A birthday tomorrow. The wedding in 45 days.

Memoir's Events: 45 days to go until the wedding

Travel

Every trip becomes a journey.

Each stop follows the one before, on a map, with how you got there.

Gather

Your people and places, together.

Everyone you love and everywhere you've been, each with every memory you share.

  • Everyone you love, with every memory together
  • Every place you’ve been, on one map
  • Trips, weddings and birthdays as events

Read

Your life, as a book. And one for everyone in it.

The seasons of your life become chapters. Open your book, or the one you share with someone you love, and read your story back.

Questions

What is Memoir?

A private journal for iPhone and iPad that keeps the story behind your photos. Write a line, add photos, videos or a voice note, and the place, weather and people come with it. Memoir brings your memories back on the right day and turns the years into the book of your life.

How does early access work?

Leave your email and we’ll invite people in small groups. If you’re selected, Apple will send you a TestFlight invitation with everything you need to install Memoir.

Can anyone else read my memories?

No. Your memories are end-to-end encrypted: they’re locked on your devices with a key only you hold, and Memoir can’t read them. A recovery kit, a code you keep, brings them back if you lose every device. Face recognition and writing help run on your device. How it works.

Can I share memories with family and friends?

Yes. Add friends on Memoir, then share a memory, a chapter or a whole space with them. Each person can add their side of the story, and you can ask for theirs. Only the people you share with can see it. Sharing needs an account.

Do I need an account?

No. Without one, everything stays on your iPhone, and in your own iCloud if you turn it on. Sign in with Apple to back up and use Memoir on your iPad too.

What happens if I stop paying for Pro?

Your memories stay, all of them. Only the extra storage goes, and new photos wait on your iPhone until there’s room.

Can I take my memories with me?

Yes. Save a full backup any time: your words as readable pages, and your photos, videos and files in folders.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Memoir is made for iPhone and iPad.
