## What is Maren?

Maren remembers your life so you don't have to keep it all in your head.

Tell Maren what's going on: people, plans, ideas, what happened today. It quietly builds a memory of your life that stays useful over time. Ask it later and it remembers. A journal, a notebook, reminders, and a companion that knows your context, in one place.

MAREN TOGETHER: ONE BRAIN FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD
Everyone gets their own private Maren, plus one you share. The shared space is a group chat where Maren listens and remembers, but never replies into the group. You summon it on purpose when you want it: ask "when's the flight?" and it answers from what your people actually said. Shared plans, shared lists, the trip, the move, the life you have in common. Privacy by separation: your shared space is shared, and your own memory stays yours. $25 a month flat for up to five adults.

YOUR MEMORY IS THE POINT, AND IT'S YOURS
• Export everything, anytime, in a clean open format. No lock-in.
• Delete anything, and permanently destroy photos and audio for good.
• We never sell your data, never show ads, and never train AI on your private content.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your photos and voice memos are read and transcribed on your device or on Maren's own server, never handed to a third-party cloud transcription service.
• No third-party trackers or ad SDKs. None.
• Sign in with a one-time email link, a typed code, or Face ID. There is no password to steal.

WHAT YOU CAN KEEP IN MAREN
• A memory that grows: the facts, people, and projects of your life
• A daily journal, with photos and voice memos
• Notes, lists, reminders, and habit streaks
• A chat that remembers, so you pick up where you left off

IT ACTS ONLY WITH YOUR CONFIRM
Maren can draft a message, a list, or a calendar event from your memory. You review every word, and nothing goes out unless you send it. Maren never pays or moves money, ever.

MAKE IT YOURS
A dozen themes, accessible type, a voice that talks back if you want it, and a capture button on your Apple Watch.

TRY IT
Every part of Solo is free for 14 days, no card to start. Then $12 a month just for you, or $25 a month for up to five who share a household brain, which starts day one with no trial. If you stop, Maren pauses, but your memory never leaves: it stays yours to see and export, and it comes back the moment you subscribe.

Maren is for adults (18+).

Own your memory. Get Together.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-11

Connections: everything that flows into Maren now lives in one place. Link a calendar with its secret address and its events keep landing by themselves. Add people from your contacts with a pick list. Make a private forward to Maren email address for captures. Turn on Health and Maren quietly knows your sleep, steps, and workouts, read on your phone, never a chart.

Bring your past in now reads listening histories: a few notes on who you keep on repeat, never a play-by-play.

Chat: past days fold into tidy boxes, so it is not one endless feed. Plus the Phosphor theme's cursor now blinks beside the clock, where it belongs.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-07

Maren now lives on your wrist: hold a thought on your Apple Watch and it lands in your journal, even if your phone is out of reach. Sign in with Face ID, or type the 6-digit code right from the mail banner without leaving the app. Also in this update: checklists you can check off from chat, replies you can read from the first line while they stream, search results that open the right screen every time, deletes that stick across timezones, and the voice no longer reads formatting out loud.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-14

Maren 1.2 is a big one:

• The Vault comes alive: watch your memory build itself with Rewire, wander it with the ambient sound on, and tap any node to open it.
• Reflection is now a snapshot story. Your week, month, or year, one real memory at a time.
• The Dashboard joins the bottom tabs: streaks, goals, and what's next at a glance.
• Give a week, get a week: share Maren with a friend from Settings.
• Spoken replies start right away, even the long ones.
• Voice input reliably captures what you say, photos and voice memos save dependably, text size and reading font settings now truly apply, and onboarding no longer fights the keyboard.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-09

No release notes.
