I've been here before. Open the map, and the days you kept — a photo and a word each — line up by the places you visited. Frame is a tiny app for not letting your moments slip away, so you can meet them again where they happened. Each entry is just three things: one photo, a short note, and the place. Not for social, not for showing off — for the future you. Nothing heavy to keep up with, so it lasts. WHAT GOES IN A FRAME • One photo — picked from your library, nothing more • A short note — eight characters or eighty, whatever feels right • A place — auto-detected from your photo's location data, easily editable TWO WAYS TO LOOK BACK • Map — pins for every place you visited. "I've been here before," found by place • Timeline — your entries in date order, easy to scroll NEW THIS SUMMER (v2.2) • Bulk-import past photos — bring your camera roll onto the map at once, great after a trip • "Today's Frame" widget — your frames return on your Home Screen, changing through the day • You've been here before — save near a familiar place and quietly meet a past frame • Memory notifications (optional) — a "one year ago today" frame, delivered in the morning SHARED TRIP ALBUMS (v2.0) For trips, anniversaries or any shared occasion, create an album and invite family or friends. Everyone adds their own frames from their own device, and the album becomes a collaborative travel diary. • Create an album and share a link via Messages, Mail or AirDrop • Each participant adds their own frames • Optional notifications when someone adds a new frame PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • Location is read from your photo, so no GPS permission prompts • Your data is stored only in your personal iCloud • No advertising SDKs, no analytics, no tracking Read our privacy policy at https://akagamisora.github.io/hitokoma-privacy/ WHO IT'S FOR • People who want to remember where they've been, on a map • People whose photos scroll away, never to be seen again • People who want to journal but struggle with long-form writing • People tired of social and monetized apps • Families and friends who want to share trip memories collaboratively REQUIREMENTS iOS 17.0 or later. iPhone and iPad supported. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Coffee Tip | $0.99 | one-time | | Onigiri Tip | $1.99 | one-time | | Lunch Tip | $6.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.2 — 2026-07-07 Frame v2.2 — A summer update.
