Memory Jar: Sealed Keepsakes

Write down the small things as they happen. Seal them. Open them on a day you choose. Memory Jar is a jar you fill with moments — a line about a good Tuesday, a photo from a trip, thirty seconds of someone's voice — and cannot open until the date you set. Not a journal you reread into the ground. A year you get back all at once. HOW IT WORKS Make a jar and choose when it opens. Add a short memory whenever something is worth keeping. A quiet nudge asks now and then, so a jar doesn't end up empty. Once a memory is sealed, you can't read it again until the day. That's the whole point. On the day, open it and read everything back, one memory at a time. FOR THE OCCASION A year, a trip, a baby's first year, a wedding, a school term, a hundred days of gratitude, or anything you name yourself. Each one comes with its own length, its own cover, and its own set of questions to answer when you don't know what to write. TOGETHER, OR FOR SOMEONE ELSE Invite someone to add their own memories to a jar you're keeping — a year with your partner, a trip with friends. Nobody reads anything early, including you. Or fill a jar for someone and hand it over sealed, to open on the day you choose. A wedding. A graduation. The end of a year they'll want back. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget with the days left and a one-tap way to add a memory, on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. FREE, AND WHAT PREMIUM ADDS Free: one jar at a time, unlimited written memories, the full opening day, and a reminder when it comes. Jars you've already opened are kept forever and never count against that one — you never have to delete your history to start something new. Encrypted backups are free too. Premium is one purchase, not a subscription, and it adds: • More than one jar running at once • Photos and thirty-second voice memories • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Every occasion template and its questions • Filling a jar together with someone • Sealing a jar as a gift • Your own reminder rhythm • Every jar style • Export a finished jar as PDF or text NO ACCOUNT. NO SERVER. There is nothing to sign up for. Your jars live on your iPhone and nowhere else — no analytics, no tracking, no cloud. The app makes no network requests at all except to Apple when you buy or restore. Nothing leaves your device unless you make a file and send it yourself. That also means the responsibility is yours: make a backup. It's free, it's encrypted with a passphrase only you know, and it's in Settings.
