How it works

The journal for busy days.

You do not need a long entry or a daily writing habit. Keep the small version now and find it later.

1

Open.

No sign-up form stands between you and your first entry.

2

Capture.

“Coffee with Sam. New job starts Monday.” A sentence can be enough.

3

Tag.

Tag people, places, and things so important context stays findable without changing how you write.

4

Return.

Search for Sam later to find what you wrote and pick up the conversation.

Explore the parts of the journal that help you capture quickly, find things later, record personal practices, and keep your history under your control.

Private place

A place for the details you want to keep.

Memorist keeps your notes, photos, and the people you tag together. Return to a conversation, a small discovery, or an ordinary day you might otherwise forget.

Built for busy days

Short entries are enough.

Journaling pays back most when it is easy enough to actually keep doing.

memorist journal timeline with people, photos, and quick entries.
Entries, moods, people, photos, and tags create a timeline you can return to later.

A short entry is enough.

Write when something feels worth keeping. A sentence, a photo, or a quick dictated note can hold the context without a long writing session.

Return to what mattered.

Search for a person, revisit a photo, or read an earlier entry. Your own words help you remember what happened and how you felt about it.

What it becomes

Your journal becomes more useful the longer it exists.

A single entry is small. A history of entries becomes memory, search, relationship context, and a clearer picture of your life.

A searchable timeline.

Find the conversation, photo, mood, place, or person without reconstructing the whole week from memory.

Relationship rhythm.

Tagged entries help Tempo track the time since a recorded mention against the rhythm you choose.

A Memory of You.

With membership and AI setup, review possible preferences and goals drawn from your entries. You can inspect and correct them.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is memorist free?

Yes. memorist is free to download on the App Store, and you can start journaling without creating an account.

Do I need an account to start journaling?

No account is needed for your first entries. A free account lets you continue beyond the guest limit. Recovery also requires your encryption key in iCloud Keychain.

How is my journal protected?

memorist uses end-to-end encryption. Your entries are encrypted on your device before they ever reach our servers, using a key stored in your iOS Keychain. Encrypted sync storage is separate from optional AI processing and the Memory topics you choose to share with an assistant.

Does memorist work offline?

Yes. Your entries are written and saved locally on your iPhone. Sync and online AI features need a connection.

Can I export my journal?

Journal export is a membership feature. Keep exported files somewhere safe: they are readable files, and journal export is not a complete Memory backup.

What does Tempo do?

Tempo™ helps you make time for your people. Tag someone in an entry and choose a rhythm for keeping in touch. Get a gentle nudge when that time passes without a recorded mention. Tempo does not read your calls or messages.

Which devices does memorist support?
