Memories & Canvas
Seven ways to keep a memory. Start with one sentence.
Some moments need a photo. Some need her voice. Some need a letter she won't read for twenty years. Pick the one that fits, and keep it before the details fade.

He ran the whole length of the park. Twice.
The seven kinds
Keep each moment in the form that fits it.
- Photo
- The picture, and what happened just before you took it.
- Voice
- The laugh, the lullaby, the word he still says wrong. Some things you have to hear.
- Letter
- Words for someone to read later. Keep it, or seal it in a Time Capsule.
- Reflection
- What today was really like, the good parts and the hard ones.
- Feeling
- How the day felt, in a few taps, with a note if you want one.
- Milestone
- The firsts everyone expects, and the quiet ones only you noticed.
Canvas
A scrapbook page in your pocket.
Drop in photos, add a few words, and finish with stickers. Move, turn and resize anything. Start from a photo layout, or start from a blank page.
It's the closest thing to a real scrapbook you can make at 10pm on the couch.
Premium sticker packs are part of Unlimited.
Prompts
When you don't know what to write, start with a question.
Each day there's a prompt waiting, written for the profile you're keeping memories for. Don't like today's? Shuffle for another.
And when you have more time, the Ideas Bank has a whole shelf of them, sorted by kind.
- Write one sentence about today. That's enough.
- Record 30 seconds of the sounds in your home right now.
- What would you tell them in 15 years that you can't say today?
- Today was hard. Write it down anyway. You'll want to remember you survived it.
Gentle reminders
Reminders when you ask for them, and never otherwise.
Choose what you'd like a nudge for: a new memory, a growth update, a milestone, a timeline photo, a reflection. Then choose how often, daily, weekly or monthly, at the time that suits you.
If you like a streak, you can turn on streak reminders. If you don't, you'll never see one.
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
It doesn't have to be good
A sentence is enough. A blurry photo is enough.
You don't need a quiet hour or the right words. A list, a half-sentence, a voice note recorded in the car. If it makes sense to you when you read it again, it worked.
