Memoir
Capture
Write, speak or start with media.
Text, photos, full-quality video, voice notes, scans, PDFs and links can live in the same memory.
Private journal app
A private journal app for the life happening around you.
Memoir is a private journal and diary app for iPhone and iPad. Write as much or as little as you want, keep the photos and voices that belong with the day, and let the details stay connected.
A daily journal without the pressure
A sentence is enough. So is a photograph.
Blank pages make many journal apps feel like homework. Memoir starts with the moment instead. Type a thought, record a voice note, import a document, scan something worth keeping, or begin with photos when the pictures are the story.
The editor keeps rich text, links, people, tags, places, weather and activities together. A quick note can stay quick. A longer story can become a full entry with a title, quotations, lists and the media that gives it context. You can also begin with a day from your photos.
Organise
People and places stay attached.
Find a memory through who was there, where it happened, a tag, an event or any word you wrote.
Remember
The right memory returns.
See what happened a year ago today, remember a birthday tomorrow, or count down to a day ahead.
More than a diary
Read your life back, instead of filing it away.
A chronological timeline is there when you need it, but your journal also becomes something you can explore. Trips form journeys on a map. Seasons become chapters. Memories gather around the people and places that made them.
Over time, those pieces become the book of your life: a readable story rather than a folder of disconnected entries. When a story belongs to other people too, the shared journal keeps their sides beside yours.
Private by design
Your journal is end-to-end encrypted. Writing help, photo understanding and face recognition run on your device. There are no ads and no tracking, and you can export or delete your memories whenever you choose.
Is Memoir a diary or a journal?+
Both words fit. You can keep a daily diary, write occasional journal entries, or save individual memories without committing to writing every day.
Can I use it without an account?+
Yes. Without an account your journal stays on your iPhone, and in your own iCloud if you enable iCloud sync. An account adds encrypted backup, sharing and access from your other devices.
Can I move my journal somewhere else later?+
Yes. Export your writing as readable pages and keep the original photos, videos and files in folders.
Keep the part the camera missed.
Begin with one moment. Your journal can grow with the life around it.
