## What is Blur!?

Blur is a journal where your life is the exhibition.

Most days blur together. Blur helps you keep the ones worth remembering, then lets you walk back through them like a visitor in your own museum.

YOUR MUSEUM OPENS FULL
You already have years of photographs on your phone. Blur catalogues them for you when you first open it, reads the date each one was taken, and hangs them in wings by year. Your museum has a history before you write a single word.

THREE WAYS TO KEEP A DAY
Write a line. Say it out loud and let Blur transcribe your words, then tidy the rambling into something clean. Or draw a small doodle with your finger, which hangs itself in your Doodles wing. It all happens on your device.

BUILD YOUR MUSEUM
Every memory becomes an exhibit. Place them into rooms like Best Meals, People You Love, or Summer 2026. Watch each room warm up as it fills, and see little visitors wander in to look around.

WALK BACK THROUGH YOUR LIFE
Browse a wing as a gallery wall, a shelf, a set of pedestals, or a scrapbook page, with the whole room on one screen and the animals wandering below. Each exhibit opens like an artifact, with a wall label giving the day, the hour, and the place.

A WING FOR EVERYONE WHO MATTERS
Give the people in your life a face and a name. Every entry that mentions someone hangs in their own wing, so you can walk through years of one person. Their names are taught to the microphone too, so even the tricky ones come out spelled right.

COLLECT YOUR VISITORS
Cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, snails, birds and butterflies wander your halls, and 21 different breeds arrive as your museum grows. The Guest Book shows who has visited and what will bring the rest.

FIND ANYTHING
The Archive searches every word, person and place you have ever kept. Filter by favorites, food, trips and more. Open the calendar to write for any day in the past, so nothing is lost just because you were busy.

BRING YOUR OLD JOURNAL
Already keep a journal somewhere else? Import your exported file and the entries arrive dated, tagged, and placed in your museum. You can also paste in older entries one at a time.

GENTLE, NEVER PUSHY
Soft daily prompts ask for one small thing, never your whole day. Stamps and quiet milestones mark how far you have come. There are no streaks, no guilt, and no pressure. Blur is warm and a little playful, and never another thing to keep up with.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Nothing is ever sent away to be read. Your journal lives on your iPhone. Lock it with Face ID, back it up to your own iCloud, and export everything whenever you want. Your memories are yours alone.

Start with one small thing you noticed today. Before it blurs, keep it here.
