Your Life. In Chapters? Doris is a private memoir that writes itself. Each day, Doris gathers the moments that actually happened (the photos you took, the places you went, your milestones and routines) and weaves them into a calm, first-person chapter of your life story. No blank-page prompting. No daily homework. Just your life, remembered. WRITTEN BY AI, GROUNDED IN TRUTH Doris uses a token-backed Gemini AI model to write real memoir prose, never generic filler. Doris is designed to ground its prose in moments that genuinely happened, with a visible evidence layer and editing controls so you can review and correct what you read. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your story is yours. Doris sends the journal context needed to create a requested chapter through its authenticated AI gateway, with no tracking and no ads. Depending on your permissions and choices, that context can include moment text, times, place labels, authorized daily Health aggregates, profile context, and explicit imports. WHAT BECOMES A CHAPTER - Photos you choose: the people, places, and moments of your day - Where your day unfolded - Milestones, routines, and movement from Apple Health - The events and intentions on your calendar All optional. Doris works best with richer signals, but only ever uses what you allow. DORIS PREMIUM Eligible new subscribers can start with a 1-week free trial.

Every detail is source-traceable, meaning it's color-coded to show its origin, ensuring your memoir remains honest. ### How often is Doris updated? The latest version of Doris is 1.5, and it was last updated on July 14, 2026. This indicates a recent update frequency. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.1.1 — 2026-08-20 Your chapters now say the hour things actually happened. A calendar entry is imported before the event, so its time sits in the future. Doris was reading that as an error and overwriting it with the moment it noticed, which moved appointments to the wrong part of the day and could put a time on the page that nothing in your day supports. A 1:45 PM appointment could be written up as the middle of the morning. That is fixed, the affected times are repaired, and any hour a chapter cannot support is now withdrawn from the page rather than left standing. Also in this update: A mood check-in is written at the time you answered it, instead of a point midway between the reminder and your reply. A day's step and distance totals no longer carry an invented clock time. They describe the whole day, and now read that way. When you correct a place, you can always type a name Doris does not suggest. That was previously hidden whenever Apple Maps returned anything at all, which is exactly when a place it has never heard of needs typing. The progress percentage on a chapter still being written no longer disappears for the rest of the session after one tap, and its card is legible. ### 2.1 — 2026-08-19 Doris 2.1 Gentle photo nudges. On an active day that still has no picture, Doris offers a soft prompt to capture one. The prompts change with the time of day and never read the same way twice. Take the photo and it slips straight into that day's chapter. An honest "still forming." A chapter that is still coming together now shows a calm progress card as Doris finishes weaving the day, so you always know when a chapter is truly done. Fix a place in one tap. When a moment shows the wrong location, tap to search and set the right spot right from the chapter, with a map to confirm it. A cleaner home. A refreshed layout with quick capture always within reach. Smoother and steadier throughout, with tidier syncing and fewer background interruptions. ### 2.0.4 — 2026-08-13 Your memoir now exports as a real book. Save it as a PDF and you get a title page, a contents list with real page numbers, every chapter opening its own page, and your photographs printed at full quality, laid out two to a row beside the words they belong to. Doris also opens faster and holds together better. The evidence colouring behind each chapter is rebuilt when you open the app rather than waiting for the middle of the night, and a repair pass that could stall a launch is now bounded. Also fixed: a night in bed is no longer reported as hours of sleep, chapters no longer print the same section three times, and a place you never confirmed no longer appears in your story. ### 2.0.3 — 2026-08-10 This release is about speed, and about Doris being honest with you. • The journal is dramatically faster. Opening it, switching tabs and moving between days were slow because Doris was quietly building every single day of your journal each time — not just the one you were reading. Now it builds only the page you are on and the ones either side. Measured on a real iPhone: moving between days went from 357ms of frozen screen to 41ms. • Scrolling and tapping no longer stutter every few seconds. A background housekeeping pass was rewriting your entire journal to disk every ten seconds, even when nothing had changed. It now writes only when something actually changed. • The navigation bar reads as one control again, instead of icons scattered across the bottom of the screen. • Doris no longer says you went cycling when you walked fast. A 7–20 km/h door-to-door average is equally consistent with a shuttle, a taxi in traffic, or a brisk walk that paused, so Doris now says "travelled" unless a recorded workout backs the claim. Days already written this way are corrected too. • Your photos no longer get described at the wrong time of day. A caption that said "late-day light" under a 6:24 AM photograph now simply says "light" — Doris drops the part it cannot support rather than inventing a different one. • When a detail is withdrawn, the chapter that quoted it is corrected as well, so the story and the evidence behind it always agree. This works with no internet and no AI allowance left. • "Where was this?" now shows the photo and what it was, so you can tell which moment Doris is asking about. • Doris Premium is now $4.99/month. The 1-week free trial for eligible new subscribers is unchanged. ### 2.0.2 — 2026-08-01 Fixes found by running Doris on a real iPhone and reading the server's own logs. • Your photos stop re-queuing themselves for rewriting. A day now counts as "you tagged someone" only when you actually did — the automatic photo pass was being mistaken for your edit, so ordinary days kept asking to be rewritten. That is what made the app feel busy and slow. • Your written chapters are no longer replaced by the plain factual version. When a photo imported after a chapter was written, Doris treated the chapter as untrue and overwrote your prose with the mechanical fallback. Missing a late detail is out-of-date, not untrue — the chapter is refreshed instead of replaced. • Photo restore keeps working after a failed backup. Restoring is how images come back after a reinstall, and a backup problem was blocking it exactly when it was needed. • Signing in no longer hammers the subscription check. • Doris recovers on its own if its AI allowance frees up early, instead of staying quiet. • Moving around the app is quicker. ## More apps by Unterrie Hinton - [Focus ADHD Momentum](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/focus-adhd-momentum/id6787192567) All apps by Unterrie Hinton: https://appshunter.io/developer/1865830348 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
