Miss the old days

I updated little memory after maybe seven years? I’ve been on this app since March 2014 and it used to be so simple and sweet. Now everything that was a free option is a premium service. Adding pictures, seeing your mood tracking over time… it was great as it was. I wish I hadn’t had to update. Make no mistake: I love this app so much. Rereading the daily grind is so crazy. But losing out on the occasional picture is really disappointing.

Thanks for 12 years with the app, and my apologies for how abrupt the 2.0 change was. I'm glad rereading the daily grind still hits the same way. I'd like to help with the photos and charts, so please email me at ivan@thelittlememory.com when you get a chance.

Perfect for daily reflection

I love this app! I’ve been a consistent journal person for years and this app helps me check in every day rather than only doing long journal entries when big things happen. That means the small stuff gets love too. This is literally the only app I allow notifications for; it’s consistent, but not annoying, it just prompts me and doesn’t nag. The interface is easy and seamless.

Thanks for the kind words. It's an honor to be the only app you allow notifications for!

A Daily Habit Easy to Keep

Love this app! It’s such a simple way to capture a little snapshot of each day without feeling like I need to sit down and write a full journal entry. It only takes a minute, and I love the idea of being able to look back on all the small moments I probably would have forgotten otherwise.

Lost memories

The upgrade looks nice but I’m very sad I seem to have lost all my memories from the past 9 years!!

Thanks for 9 years with the app. Oh no, but don't worry, your memories aren't lost: 2.0 needs to bring them over from your account once, and that step can be easy to miss. Please email me at ivan@thelittlememory.com and I'll help get it sorted out.

5 star journal

Get this little memory. It’s true Minimalism. It’s like micro-journaling (©️2025 by me sl1200mkII haha) Just jot down your thoughts on the day. Wind down. As you write more and more it’s able to show you what you talk about the most or whom and about how well you feel about that person place or thing. It’s minimal with great analytics to get you focused on the main part-journaling. You can see other entries from a week month year or 5. Just keep writing and you can scroll through to see what you wrote this time last year. 💯 percent get it. Micro-journal at its best. Quick. Easy. Distraction free. You can even add pictures (though to add more you have to purchase it but it’s worth it). Trust me I love this app. ****SO BAD NOW SEPTEMBER 2026**** for some reason they decided to update and change the way the app looks, feels and runs. Before you could upload a picture. Now you have to pay. I brought all my data over from the old style (bc otherwise I wouldn’t see my memories) and it’s just a bad update. I told all my friends and family how great this was. Had it for 10 years. Now, I’m looking for a new minimal simple app. They changed it and it’s nothing like before. So sad.

Thanks for 10 years with the app, and my apologies for how abrupt the 2.0 change was. I can relate to how new designs can be jarring, especially for long-time users like you. I'd like to help with the photos, so please email me at ivan@thelittlememory.com when you get a chance.

Journaling on the run!

I love the clean, simple design. No pushy ads, no up-sells. Just a basic, straight forward app for once! I love when I see what old memories come up, where I was on the same date years ago. Thanks for making this lovely tool for me to document my life!

Thanks for the kind words. I've tried to keep the app simple on purpose, so I'm glad that comes through. Seeing what came up on the same date years ago is my favorite part of it too.

Best little journal app!

This is my go to app for a quick journal recap about my day. The simplicity of it really helps me keep up the habit and I love seeing my memories from the past. 🧡

Thanks for the kind words. Keeping the habit going is the hard part of journaling, so it's great to hear the simplicity helps with that.

One of my favorite Journal apps

This is probably one of the best apps you can download if you want to journal without feeling pressured. I have been using this app for over 10 years now and it has kept me writing and logging my memories. I’m totally a dedicated fan of this.

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for over ten years with the app. I wanted a journal that didn't nag me to write, and I'm happy it's been that for you too.

Vital! Best journal app

Elegant, powerful, fantastic UI. I’ve been using it 12 years! V2.0 is a major improvement

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for twelve years with the app. 2.0 was a big rewrite, so I'm glad to hear it feels like a real improvement.

BEST APP FOR OVER 10 YEARS

I've used this app nearly every day for over 10 years it has allowed me to document major life steps in a way nothing else can replicate. This app is far better than the built-in Apple journal, far better than a traditional notebook. Being able to add photos and a short blurb allows you to mark special memories that would otherwise go unnoticed. I cannot recommend this app enough

A decade of daily use is the highest compliment this app could get. Amazing! It means a lot to know Little Memory has helped you mark your special moments in life. Thank you.

Get it!!!

I can’t say enough about this app. I’ve been using this app since 2016, and an active user since 2019. It’s a great way to jot down the highlights of my day without having to read through a few pages of a journal. I love how you can attach a photo with a memory. It’s easy to look back at old ones as well. I also LOVE how it’s stayed familiar all of these years. Kudos to the developers for keeping it simple! PS: pleaseee made a dark mode/grey mode. Thank you for this app!

Thank you for the kind words, and for sticking with it since 2016. Keeping it simple has always been the goal, so it's good to hear that still comes through. The 2.0 update that just came out has a dark mode. I think you'll really like it.

Daily Drop of Joy

This is the first thing I check every morning! Simple but a wonderfully effective drop of joy ever day. And being able to compare how our life was a while ago and today is really interesting. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

My favorite iPhone app

I am so grateful for little memory. I’ve been using it for eight years and it’s my favorite app for iPhone. It allows me to jot down a thought, anecdote, or snapshot of the day in a simple and easy format. I get to receive this memory years down the road, as a reminder of good times had, struggles overcome, and triumphs big and small. Each “little memory” is a gift for the present. With 2,000+ little memories saved and counting, I can’t think of any other app that fills me with as much gratitude.

Journaling system that works for me!

I’ve tried for years and years to keep a journal. I tried various apps and tried using txt files. This app is so simple I don’t “feel bad” writing a sentence or two and being done.

I have a few items to suggest for future updates: 1) offline mode. I was traveling in an area with no wifi / cell service and I wasn’t able to post for those days 2) ability to upload 4 photos. Currently you can only take 4 photos and upload 1 3) ability to add posts more than one day in the past. If I’m in an area with no radio signals my streak is broken.

This is a great app and is will worth both the cost and the yearly subscription.

A hidden gem of an app!

Absolutely love the simplicity of this app! Was looking for an alternative to social media, and I found it. I will say one thing to improve is that I would love to be able to add memories from days of my choosing. To be able to catch up of needed beyond just yesterday. But! Again, worth it. Happy to support this app and vision!

Thanks for your support and your feedback. Happy to hear you're loving how simple the app is, and it sounds like Little Memory's been a meaningful app for you to get away from social media and give yourself some self-care to help with your self-growth and reflection. We've got some things we're working on to let you catch up on previous days further than just yesterday, so stay tuned! Thanks again!

thx for the memories!!

(i didn't even know the online version had a calendar to write in days further than yesterday!!! that's very cool)

i love love love this app, as someone who appreciates 1st account reports from important days AND fun details from days gone from memory, this app is the BEST. i've been beating myself up over not keepin streaks lately bc its honestly so much fun to look through old ones.
