## What is Hitotsuzuri?

Ordinary days, gently bound together.
Just let your photos come in, and your memories gather on their own.


GATHERED FOR YOU

Photos, videos, screenshots, notes, voice recordings and places you visit are grouped automatically by time.
Each group is named from the places you went and the kinds of records in it.

New photos can be imported automatically (turn it on in Settings).
Sleep and workouts from Health can join the same timeline (read-only).
Google Timeline exports can be imported too.


SHAPE THEM YOUR WAY

Name a group, split it, or merge it into another.
Add notes to records and groups so they match how you remember the day.
Undo is available right after you organize.


RETRACE AND FIND

The past is above, the latest below.
The background gently shifts with the time of day and season of what you are reading.
See where you went, and in what order, on a map.

Filter by words, type, dates and place.
Search text found in photos and voice transcriptions.
On iPhones with iOS 27 and Apple Intelligence, on-device AI adds a short description to your photos, so you can find them by what's in them.


YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE

No account needed.
Saving, text recognition, transcription and photo descriptions happen on the device.
Nothing is sent to the developer's servers or to external AI. Nothing is written to Health.

Photo and video originals stay in your photo library.
Maps, place names and iCloud Photos use Apple services.

Encrypted backups, including scheduled backups, are supported.
Restoring requires your recovery code.
