## What is KeepOfEchoes?

KeepOfEchoes is your personal memory keeper—built for families, storytellers, and anyone who wants to preserve the moments that matter. Record voice stories, add rich context, and build a beautifully organized timeline of your life and legacy.

Unlike traditional journaling apps, KeepOfEchoes isn’t just for daily logs—it’s designed for capturing the stories of the past. Whether it’s a memory from summer 1980 or a voice recording made today, every story fits perfectly into your timeline. Add photos or albums from your Apple Photos library, organize moments by people, themes, and dates, and create a living archive of your most important experiences.

Three expressive recording modes make storytelling effortless:

Spontaneous – Record quick memories as they happen, in your own words.

Intimate – Be gently guided by Ember, our on-device AI interviewer who asks warm, thoughtful questions.

Solo Reflection – Sit down with Ember for a reflective, intelligent conversation. The AI adapts to what you say, adding emotional nuance and smart prompts.

Every recording is automatically transcribed and analyzed using private, on-device AI. KeepOfEchoes identifies key people, places, emotions, and themes—making your archive deeply searchable and beautifully organized. Find memories by name, mood, topic, or decade, and relive them with fresh perspective.

Explore stories through a scrollable timeline, calendar view, or visual grid. Add time, tags, and context to shape your legacy exactly as you remember it.

When you’re ready to share, invite loved ones to listen or contribute to your family’s collective story—securely and privately via iCloud. No accounts required.

Key Features:

Add voice stories to any point in your timeline—even decades in the past.

Attach Apple Photos or albums to stories for visual richness.

Automatically transcribed and AI-analyzed memories.

Discover stories by theme, person, mood, or time.

Three intuitive recording modes for all kinds of storytellers.

AI-powered interviews with on-device Foundation Models.

Share stories privately with family using iCloud and CloudKit.

All content stays on your device or in your iCloud—never on our servers.

Supports English and Dutch, with full localization.

Device compatibility note:
KeepOfEchoes uses on-device AI and requires iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max or newer, or an iPad with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) running iOS 18 or later.
(Older iPhones and iPads do not have the processing power needed for AI features.)

Whether you're capturing everyday thoughts or preserving family history, KeepOfEchoes helps you build a voice-powered legacy that lasts.
