What's New in memorist

Version 7.1.6 COMING SOON

Nothing gets lost

FixedPhotos finish arriving, even if you save first. Saving mid-upload used to keep only the photos that had finished. Now every one lands on your entry.
FixedOnly your edits count as your edits. A routine Memory refresh could look like you'd reworded an Ask Me question — and replace an answered one for good. It no longer does.
FixedA withdrawn question stays gone. Remove the belief behind a question and it can no longer come back as placeholder text.

Version 7.1.5 August 8, 2026

An annual plan, and a clearer Memory

NewAn annual plan. Choose monthly or annual, with the savings shown — and see which plan you're on.
ImprovedBelief cards, calmer. Freeze, Hide, Edit and Remove now appear only when you expand a card. A collapsed one shows its state in the header.
NewSee how a belief changed. Expand one that replaced an earlier version to read the old wording and why it changed.
ImprovedFading, easier to find. Fading beliefs now look faint and get their own filter. Freezing is the rescue.
ImprovedMemory speaks up sooner. Two moments now form a belief instead of three — and each arrives as a Keep or Remove card.
FixedQuestions stop repeating. Ask Me could serve the same question night after night. It now tracks what it has asked, and ignoring one retires it.
FixedThe Ask Me pill stays put. It used to vanish for free users who worked through their questions.
ImprovedMemory Update names the number. “I connected a few patterns” now says how many, and the tap lands on them.
FixedThe bigger patterns stop doubling up too. Beliefs already merged when they repeated. The patterns drawn across them now do the same.
FixedThe trial banner speaks your language. It was showing in English everywhere.

Version 7.1.4 July 31, 2026

Ask Me, and Apple Intelligence

NewAsk Me. Journal Reminders now open with a specific question instead of a blank page, and your answer becomes a Log entry. Free for everyone.
NewApple Intelligence, on iOS 27. The default engine for every iOS 27 user. Your Memory builds fully on-device.
ImprovedMemory keeps up daily. It now looks for new patterns once a day instead of every other day.
ImprovedBetter answers from your AI apps. Questions from Siri, Claude, or ChatGPT now find beliefs instead of coming back empty.
NewSiri & Spotlight, on its own screen. A dedicated Settings screen for what your iPhone can reach, whichever engine you use. Siri no longer crashes the app.
FixedYour words are yours. Edit or freeze a belief and the engine can no longer rewrite it.
Fixed“Grew stronger” means stronger. A reinforced belief keeps every receipt it has earned and adds the new ones.
FixedPrivate is a one-way door. Once marked Private, a belief stays on your device until you say otherwise.
FixedSet aside stays set aside. A belief you removed or replaced can no longer quietly return.
FixedDeleting reaches everything. Delete an entry and its traces leave every belief, including ones no longer shown.
ImprovedMemory checks in, even on quiet days. Every review now leaves a note, even when nothing changed.
FixedBeliefs stop doubling up. One idea could land twice, worded two ways. Near-identical beliefs now merge as they're written.
ImprovedPeople details, now encrypted. Person-tag details and tag names no longer travel in the clear.
FixedAccount deletion clears your AI keys. Your Claude or OpenAI key used to survive it. Not any more.
FixedRedaction, honored — and explained. “Didn't happen” no longer nudges you, and your first redaction spells out exactly what it means.
FixedFewer nudges you didn't earn. Off-tempo reminders now check your records before arriving.
ImprovedScheduling, less fiddly. New entries start at the next full hour, and the time wheels stop at their ends.
NewA prompt after contact import. Importing as a guest now offers to create an account, so the work is saved.
ImprovedSmoother photo uploads. Reliability improvements to how photos are uploaded.
FixedSmaller fixes. Tab labels stay visible, the search Shortcuts panel no longer strands itself, a deleted day can't return from a late save, and the day's add and reorder buttons swapped places.

Version 7.1.3 July 22, 2026

Your Memory stops forgetting

FixedBeliefs no longer fade away. Memorist was quietly hiding beliefs it hadn't seen you write about in a while, with no way to get them back. It doesn't any more — a belief you've stopped mentioning simply moves down the list and is marked as fading. Anything hidden this way has been restored, so your Memory may grow the first time you open this version.
NewMemory Update. A quiet in-app note after Memorist reviews your Memory, telling you what changed — what grew stronger, what's fading. No push notification, and no detail leaves your device.

Version 7.1.2 July 20, 2026

Moving entries, fixed

FixedMoving entries between days. Moving an entry to a different day now works reliably. If you'd tried this and it didn't stick, it will now.
FixedSend Entry is back. The Send Entry option had gone missing in a recent update. It's available again.
FixedGreen dot accuracy. Fixed an issue where the green dot for upcoming events was appearing on person tags with no future events.
FixedWhat's New notification. Fixed the notification that arrives when a new release is available.

Version 7.1.1 July 17, 2026

Belief Cards, redesigned

ImprovedBelief Cards, redesigned. Actions are now surfaced on each card, so what you can do next is easy to spot.
FixedMood no longer duplicates on Calm. Fixed a bug where mood appeared twice after logging a Calm session.
FixedLong journal entry migration. Fixed a migration issue that affected some long journal entries.

Version 7.1.0 July 6, 2026

Introducing your Memory of You

NewA Memory of You. As you journal, memorist now quietly builds a Memory of You — an evidence-backed picture of your preferences, identity, relationships, goals, and patterns, drawn straight from your real entries.
NewSee the receipts. Every belief shows its receipts — tap to read the exact entries it came from, or the beliefs a broader pattern was drawn from. Nothing is a black box.
NewYou're in control. Your Memory builds on its own and nothing is hidden: review any belief on the Memory screen and Freeze what matters, Edit what's off, or Remove it.
NewBuilt for your personal AI assistant. Your Memory is a portable profile your personal AI can rely on, so it knows you from the first message instead of relearning you every conversation.
NewConnect your AI apps — on your terms. You can now let an outside AI assistant draw on your Memory. You choose exactly which topics it may read, and Connected Apps shows you what each app looked at and when — one tap disconnects it, ending its access immediately.
NewSharing, never giving away. Your boundaries always travel with a connected app, and anything you’ve hidden or marked private never leaves your device.
NewPrivate by design. It's built on your end-to-end-encrypted entries, and the AI that builds it is the provider you connect with your own key — building your Memory never routes through memorist's servers. The one exception is when you connect an outside AI: memorist then holds only the slice you chose to share, so it can answer that app. Fully on-device with Apple Intelligence is coming with iOS 27.

Version 7.0.8 June 27, 2026

Some quick fixes

FixedAnnotations back on the timeline. Fixed an issue where birthdays and other event annotations had stopped appearing.
FixedPerson tag chips. Fixed an issue where person names weren't appearing as selectable tag chips when second word in a sentence.
FixedBody Check-in measurements. Fixed the measurement inputs on the Body Check-in screen.
ImprovedRefreshed app icon. A small visual update to memorist's home-screen icon.

Version 7.0.7 June 24, 2026

One Log for everything

NewThe new Log. Tap + and start typing. One flexible record replaces the old menu of separate types — pick a type label as you go, add a mood, photos, or a specialized detail (a Calm session, a body measurement, a wine note, or a scheduled event), and log as many times a day as you'd like. Backfill past sessions or schedule recurring events from inside the same editor.
ImprovedOld entries still there. Existing entries continue to appear on your timeline and remain editable in their original screens.

Version 7.0.4 May 28, 2026

Tap to talk

NewTap to talk. Tap the new mic button in the Today prompt to start dictating an event. Tap again to stop, review the transcript, and Save — tags get extracted the same way they would for a typed entry.
NewOn-device recognition. Your voice is transcribed on your phone, not sent to a server. It never leaves the device.

Version 7.0.3 May 23, 2026

Notifications, in your morning

ImprovedNotifications, in your morning. Drift Insight and off-tempo push notifications now arrive in your local morning, not at a fixed UTC hour where they could land overnight for users outside Europe. Settings shows the timezone they'll arrive in.
FixedPolish and fixes. A small affordance now indicates which notifications are tappable, the Drift Insight cooldown between signals is fixed, the Week Concentration insight message reads correctly, and a stray insight notification bug is resolved.

Version 7.0.2 May 17, 2026

Tap to reach out

NewTap to reach out. Add a mobile number to a person's tag and tap it to send a text — no leaving the app, no fishing through Contacts. Importing contacts now brings phone numbers along.
ImprovedRecurring, at a glance. A cleaner display of recurring items in the tag list and tag detail, plus a new “Is recurring” search shortcut to pull up everything on a schedule.
FixedPolish and fixes. Snappier tag creation, fixed schedule truncation, restored avatars in the Notifications Center, per-tag insight muting working as intended, the entry button icon in tag detail, refreshed banner styles for the contact-import prompts, and a daily insight notification cap that's now three instead of one.

Version 7.0.1 May 17, 2026

Show Up For Your People

ImprovedSharper search. Search results now show matching text from inside journal entries, not just event titles, and the Go Deeper workflow is fixed.
ImprovedA warmer welcome. A refreshed first-run experience — a new tagline ("Show Up For Your People"), a prompt to import your contacts so the people in your life are ready to tag, a clearer example entry, and warmer empty-state avatars on new tags.
FixedPolish and fixes. Tab labels now fade after a few launches as designed, Today button behavior is cleaner on the day, insight copy got a small pass, and a handful of smaller fixes across the app.

Version 6.9 May 13, 2026

People at a glance

NewPeople at a glance. Timeline cards now show avatars of the people you've tagged, so you can spot who was there without opening a single card.
ImprovedNear-instant Tag Library. Pulling to refresh your tags is now near-instant, with no more loading placeholders covering the screen.
ImprovedSmarter future counts. Tags with an ongoing recurrence now show a “+” to indicate continuing future events; non-recurring upcoming events are counted exactly.
FixedFewer hangs, truer counts. Fixed an occasional freeze on tags with weekly recurring events on specific weekdays, and resolved a count mismatch where some events weren't being included in the totals.

Version 6.8 May 12, 2026

Quieter, more thoughtful insights

NewMute insights per tag. Exclude any tag from Drift Insights individually — useful when the pattern would be noise rather than signal.
ImprovedCare for tags with a date of passing. Drift Insights now skip tags where you've recorded a date of passing, so an insight never lands at a moment that would be unkind.
FixedBirthdays roll forward. Fixed an issue where a person's age this year wasn't advancing on the right day.
FixedSmaller fixes. Polished copy on the Quiet Exit and a few other insight templates, a localization fix in the same area, a skeleton loader for tags on the journal entry screen, and a smoother mood-bar animation in timeline cards.

Version 6.7 May 7, 2026

Mood, by day of week

NewA new Drift Insight. Mood by day of week — a quiet observation when a particular weekday consistently runs higher or lower than the rest. A Sunday lift, a Monday dip, the patterns that hide in plain sight.
ImprovedSteadier under the hood. Reliability improvements and backend cost optimizations, continuing the work that started in 6.6.

Version 6.6 May 5, 2026

Smoother loading, steadier notifications

ImprovedA unified Timeline loader. Under the hood, the Timeline now runs through a single data loader — pages feel more consistent, and timeline cards got a small visual cleanup along the way.
FixedSharper Drift Insights. Fixed an issue where future events could slip into drift patterns, so what reaches you reflects what's actually happened.
ImprovedSteadier notifications. Refined how notifications look and tuned how often they arrive. The automatic first-entry notification is gone, replaced by a gentle check-in if you haven't logged anything in five days.
ImprovedPerformance and reliability. A handful of behind-the-scenes fixes to keep memorist fast and dependable.

Version 6.5 April 30, 2026

Meditation and breathwork, in one tap

NewCalm entries. A new entry type for logging meditation and breathwork sessions. Tap a Minutes chip and the session auto-commits — no number pad, no submit button, no streak counter.
NewOne day, many sessions. A morning meditation and a midday breathwork reset live on the same Calm card, each on its own line.
NewDrift sees Calm. The Drift screen now includes a Calm card with totals, deltas, longest sessions, and a top-techniques panel.
NewPatterns over time. Drift Insights surface meditation and breathwork patterns as quiet observations — a Sunday-evening rhythm, a quiet constant, a stretch when a practice has gone quiet.
NewEnd-to-end encrypted. Sessions, techniques, and notes never leave your device readable. memorist can't see them.

Version 6.4 April 21, 2026

Photos, front and center

NewPhoto entries. A new kind of timeline item just for pictures — snap or pick a photo, add a note if you want, and drop it on your day. For the moments where the image is the point.
ImprovedA refined Timeline. Cleaner layout, better spacing, and more room for the moments that matter.
NewWhat's new notifications. After each update, a quiet notification lands in your Notification Center so you can see what's new at your own pace — no popups, no push.
ImprovedApp Lock locks sooner. If you use App Lock, it now locks the moment you leave the app — quicker, safer, and easy to change in Settings.

Version 6.3 April 19, 2026

A quieter, more polished memorist

ImprovedPush notifications for all signed-in users. Previously reserved for subscribers, they're now available once you've signed in. Notice which routines are shifting and which relationships are quietly drifting.
ImprovedPolish everywhere. Tighter spacing, refined card layouts, cleaner timestamps, and a shimmering Timeline skeleton — small details that add up.
ImprovedA smoother first-time UX. The automatic first entry now lands on Today with a #first-time tag, and we've tuned when the app asks you to create an account or turn on notifications.

Version 6.2 April 14, 2026

Sharper insights, smoother journaling

ImprovedSharper Drift Insights. They now run more often and look for more patterns — so what matters reaches you sooner.
ImprovedSmoother journal entries. Opening, editing, and saving feels faster and more consistent, with cleaner transitions between compact and expanded views.
NewApp Lock. Protect your timeline behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
NewTwo new reflection prompts. "Missed connection" and "One clear thought" — quick, focused inputs for when you want to capture something specific.
ImprovedA redesigned Customize sheet. Pick which journal inputs you see and reorder them, now one clear card per field.
ImprovedA cleaner mood bar. The outline around journal mood is gone, replaced by a more readable mood bar.
ImprovedNavigation polish. A more prominent, easier-to-spot Today button, full-width cards, a cleaner Calendar Feed, a persistent Add Event button, and an updated target bar.

Version 6.0 April 12, 2026

Targets and a smarter Today

NewTarget Count. A gentle nudge toward a consistent journaling rhythm — see how close you are each day.
ImprovedA smarter Today button. Bigger, more visible, and now hidden when you're already looking at Today.
FixedBug fixes. A disappearing reorder button in the timeline, a flashing loading screen, and a flash when creating events — all resolved.

Version 5 April 5, 2026

Deeper insights, a more customizable journal

NewDrift Insights expanded dramatically. Several new kinds of insights shipped across the series — including Open Loop Insights — along with reflection prompts, a wider off-tempo window, and a handful of reliability fixes.
NewCustomizable journal inputs. Choose which inputs appear and in what order, with several new input types added.
NewA fuller notification system. Local notifications now cover first entries, mood tracking, imported contacts, and off-tempo moments — available in guest mode too.
NewNew features and visual polish. Contact import, Send day journal, Day Journal auto-save, mood bar motion, a new app icon, and a better search all landed across the series.

Version 4 March 14, 2026

Templates, Drift Insights, and Liquid Glass

NewTemplates arrived. A re-architecture introduced custom templates — Body and Wine I Like were the first two — each with its own stats view and a new "surprise" highlight.
NewDrift Insights were born. The first version shipped mid-series, with notifications and enhancements following — the start of memorist noticing patterns in your entries before you do.
ImprovedLiquid Glass UI. A visual refresh rolled across the app, with updated timeline colors, a refined brand teal, and a consistent look extending through tag details.
NewPhotos, expanded. Photostream arrived as a global gallery, and panorama viewing joined the toolkit.
ImprovedRoots and polish. Deep linking, emoji search, in-app FAQs, biometric-gated export, timeline and tags performance improvements, expanded localization (German, Japanese, Portuguese), and an accessibility-friendly font bump shipped across the series.

Version 3 February 9, 2026

End-to-end encryption, stats, and a richer tag system

NewEnd-to-end encryption arrived. CryptoKit-based E2EE shipped across search, notifications, and the calendar feed, with a migration for existing data and hardened server rules — making your journal unreadable to anyone but you.
NewStats, a new screen. A dedicated stats view launched with a "surprise me" card and longest-gap tracking, then got localization, skeleton loading, and steady refinements across the series.
ImprovedTags got smarter. Tag classification, an "unused" badge, a refined delete workflow, segmentation sort, person tag profile photos and names, a tag-list photo, and a photo cropper made tagging feel like a first-class part of the app.
NewA proper tier structure. Guest, Free, and subscription tiers arrived together, with a benefits-forward subscription screen, Push Notifications and Daily Reminders for subscribers, and an updated Notifications Center.
NewNew features and polish. Export backup, contact import, a share flow, timezone support, iPad layout fixes, long-press-to-edit, skeleton shimmer, independent past/future search, and search shortcuts for photos and strikethrough rounded out the series.

Version 2 January 6, 2026

Tempo grows up, Timeline gets smooth

ImprovedA smoother Timeline. Scrolling and loading got much faster, creating and editing entries feels instant, long-press menus landed on timeline cards, and you can pin a card open.
ImprovedTempo, expanded. Tempo — previously just for people — now works for places and things too. The tempo slider got a fresher UI with a clear "No tempo" option, and tags with upcoming events show a small green dot.
NewCalendar Feed. A new feed that adds your memorist schedule to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or any feed-capable calendar app.
FixedFixes and polish. Off-tempo notifications, case-insensitive search, a shortcut for starting an event already tagged with a person, entry character limits, an analytics opt-out, haptic feedback, and dozens of small fixes across the series.

Version 1 December 8, 2025

Guest mode, and a smarter journal

NewGuest mode. Start journaling right away — open memorist and write without having to create an account first.
ImprovedSmarter search and mood. A new search workflow landed, mood labels became searchable, and you can now log a mood-only day entry when writing isn't what the moment calls for.
ImprovedPolish across the app. Account deletion, a refreshed tag detail screen for people, places, and things, recency banners on place and thing tags, better handling of hyphenated phrases in tags, faster timeline and photo loading, and language that follows your device settings.
