memorist is a private pocket journal that helps you stay close to the people who matter. You choose who, and how often — and memorist quietly tells you when a friendship is drifting. No streaks. No guilt. Just a gentle signal. After all, life is all about showing up.
Three small choices. The rest is just showing up.
Family, close friends, the people you'd be sad to lose touch with. Not your whole address book — just the ones you want to stay in rhythm with.
Every two weeks for your sister. Once a month for the friend in Lisbon. Weekly for your dad. You decide.
Not a notification storm. Not a streak you'll break. Just a soft tap that says “Mom — 23 days.” Then you call. Or text. Or just think of her.
memorist is a private journal for people who want to show up more intentionally for the friends and family they care about. Every entry you keep stays yours — end-to-end encrypted on your device — and over time it becomes a living record of who's been in your life, when you saw them last, and what's been on your mind.
The app runs on iPhone and is free to download. There's no account required to start and no sign-up form standing between you and your first entry. You open memorist, write, and you're already keeping track. When you're ready, Sign in with Apple lets you back up everything across your Apple devices — still encrypted, still private to you.
Journaling is one of the simplest habits you can build, and it pays back disproportionately. A short entry written today will one day be the only remaining record of a moment that would otherwise slip away. memorist is designed to make capturing an entry as fast as possible — you're in and out in under a minute — so the habit sticks even on the days you feel like you don't have time for it.
The more you keep, the more patterns surface. You start to see which weeks felt full and which felt hollow, which friendships are growing closer and which have gone quiet, which topics keep returning to you. None of that shows up on a calendar. It shows up in a journal you actually keep.
