## What is Lately?

A journal you talk to. Say a few words about your day and Lately writes them down for you, word for word. Your voice is kept beside the words, with your photos, so you can read a day or hear it again. It all stays on your iPhone.

Lately is made for the days too full to sit down and write about. The walk home, lunch in the sun, the thing your kid said in the car. Hold the mic for a few seconds, add a photo if there is one, and the moment is kept.

TALK, AND IT'S WRITTEN DOWN
Speak the way you'd tell a friend. Lately turns your voice into text as you talk, right on your iPhone. Fix any word it misheard. Nothing is summarized, reworded or made up. Rather type? Write instead, any time.

READ IT, OR HEAR IT AGAIN
Every memo keeps both: your words on the page and the recording of your voice. Years from now you can read what happened, or press play and hear how you sounded that day.

KEEP THE SOUNDS, TOO
Some moments don't need words. Record the rain on the window, the waves, a song from the kitchen or your kids laughing, and keep it just as it was. Give it a name and it lives on that day with everything else.

EVERY DAY, ITS OWN PAGE
Your memos in order, with your photos, the place and the weather. Add photos from your library and they land on the day they were taken.

SHARE WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE
Turn a week or a month into a set of prints to send to family: a cover laid out like photos on a table, then each picture with its town and date. Give it a title, like "For Grandma, from the kids". Only towns and dates go out. Your words stay in Lately.

YOUR DAYS COME BACK
• Each morning, something you said on this day in other years
• Trips, birthdays and firsts, gathered into chapters for you
• Each month Lately quietly keeps one of your best days and sends it back a year later, or sooner after a few heavy days
• Letters to yourself that arrive a year from now

BRING YOUR OLD JOURNAL
Import from Day One, Apple Journal, Journey, Daylio or Diarium. Each entry lands on the day it was written, with its photos. Then see your years laid out: your first page, a few of your best days, the people in your pages.

KEEPSAKES
Every photo by day. Every recording, searchable by the words you said. A map of where your days happened. Your poems and letters.

POEMS FROM YOUR OWN LINES
On a good day, Lately offers a poem made only from phrases you said. Compare two drafts, change what you like, keep one. Every word is yours.

YOURS, ON YOUR PHONE
No account, no ads, no tracking. Nothing is sent to us. Your journal lives on your iPhone and, if you like, in your own iCloud Drive. Lock it with Face ID. Export all of it, any time, free.

FREE, THEN LATELY PLUS
Everything is open for your first 30 days, with no card. After that the daily journal stays free: every memo, every day page, one photo per memo and the last 30 days of search. Lately Plus adds poems, your week in photos, more photos per memo, more letters on their way on the day you pick, listening to a whole day, and search across your whole journal. Choose yearly, monthly, or pay once.
