Cool concept, easy to use
Love the idea behind this app but disappointed by the large amount of “missed moments.” I have lots of black (blank) pics and found out that if you order the book at the end the blank photos would be printed . . . What a huge waste! I know the idea is to have a set amount of time but either remove the missed days from the final product or provide users the option to keep going with the project until they’ve managed to take the maximum number of photos . . . Maybe some people would take longer than others to finish but I think it would be more satisfying. But I have no complaints about the app itself—it’s a great idea!Show lessashafer
Simple but intriguing
Yay 1st reviewer!
So I really like this app, it's changed how I value my routine, making me focus on the small but important things that I've always taken for granted. Because of the short window to take a picture, the app forces you to photograph what is really happening, with no staging. I would love not to miss the alarms though - makes you anxious! - but sometimes that's inevitable. Oh and having a sneak peak into a total stranger's life is fun too. Makes you feel more human and everything more mundane. And that's good!Show lessjmbk.2017
Memories at odd times - Captured
780 ‘Moments’ have been captured since signing into Minutiae the first time, and glad of it. Some very powerful moments, and some less than memorable ones, are ‘in the bag’ - ready to retell their story after the next 305 Moments are captured. Really looking forward to seeing them - and, maybe splurging $$ for a printed book of them from Daniel & Martin.
Also, seeing others ‘Moments’, as I capture each of mine, is refreshing and reaffirming of the humanity in each of us around this planet 🌎 🌎 🌏
Highly Recommended!Show lessMacMark9
I love this app
This app has given me so much happiness. At a random time each day, you’re asked to take a photo within seconds, no matter what you’re doing. Sometimes it can be during something mundane you’re doing, or other times it strikes at the exact time you’re doing something exciting and you get to document it and share it with someone else in the world, then also see a moment from someone else. I absolutely love the concept and so happy I bought it!Show lesslaurxe
Daily Joy
This app stands alone. An artistic project in which we get to participate. A daily reminder to stop, just for a minute, and notice what is going on.
My stats aren’t great, but I have captured 440 snapshots. The little buzz I get from mi:nu:ti:ae whenever the alert trips is great—I snap out of whatever fog I’ve been in, take a picture of whatever I’m doing.
Then I have 60 seconds to either scroll through my previous shots or see someone else’s snaps. I’ve had these glimpses into other lives on every continent but Antartica, and dozens and dozens of countries. Just seeing someone else’s mundane activities helps me get out of myself for a bit.
I should say that this is the only thing approaching social media that I engage in. No facebook, instagram, twitter, snap, etc. I’m old, started in punch card days, still participate in Usenet newsgroups/Listservs.
I love that there is no chance to pose, agonize, curate. Just be in the moment, take the shot.
I’ve been a photographer for over 50 years, still active, but I prefer to print my pictures to having them in my hand. I’m looking forward to the end of the project when we can buy into the book project.
Thanks, guys, for conceiving and hosting this great experiment. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!Show lessNiceoldguy
Beautiful idea, great execution
Love love love this app and what it stands for. I’m a couple of years in on my project and can’t wait to see the finished product. I love seeing what others are photographing during the amount of time when we’re allowed to look, but sometimes I also enjoy swiping through my own to remember moments I had forgotten or see how my life has changed. My best advice? Don’t get so caught up in needing to take every single picture. Do it as you can and when you’re able. Remember, this is about not being a slave to social media. If you miss a day’s prompt, it’s not a big deal. Thanks to the developers for a great app!Show lessAbczyxdefwyughitsr098123
Fantastic app Minutiae
This app absolutely beautiful. They alert 5times and you take photo where you’re. I love it. Great job. Thank you minuateyildirimozk
Unique and (seriously) special app
This is by far my favorite app. When I get the notification everyday even my boyfriend and coworkers get excited about it. After taking my photo for the day it’s so great to be able to scroll through past, random moments and remember days and times that were previously forgotten. Since the photos are timed randomly throughout the day there’s no way to prepare for them, and so your memories are captured in such a way that reveals your unedited, real days. In many ways it is much more rewarding than scrolling through your camera roll; not being able to delete/edit photos from your past ‘random moments’ can, at times, be a surprisingly emotional thing - capturing both the good and bad times of life.
ANYWAYS - great app, highly recommend to anyone and everyone

A fascinating experiment
I have been participating in this strange and wonderful experiment since it’s inception in 2016. I look forward to when I can capture my “moment” and for a brief time be able to see a window in to someone else’s life. It’s exciting to be paired with people from all over the globe. But it is especially great that it’s only for a minute; it’s not an app that I get sick of because I end up spending too much time on it (Instagram, I’m talking about you here). It retains the fun and magic of social media without overstaying it’s welcome.Show lessmeek835
Love love love
I personally love storing memories for myself. This is such a unique spin. Saving my “mundane” every day moments makes those moments special. When I look back at them I realize I remember that specific moment and since mine is filled with loved ones I don’t often get to see, it’s a nice surprise to see their faces when I get to scroll through my pictures. Its fun to see what other people are up to across the world and sometimes even in my own city. It’s also helped me see where I spend most of my time (unfortunately in front of a computer screen) so it’s also created an awareness. I can’t wait until I’m done and have the finished product in my hands!Show lessCat5006
