Love this app

✔️ Another molecule that would be awesome would be a journal for memorable moments — complete with tags, notes and photo attachments.

Am glad you love the app :) Much appreciated, Thank you 🙏
I LOVE the concept of this app
My only nag is that this app, for me personally, has very limited use due to the lack of ability to add custom categories. Developer, have you considered adding a function like this?
For example, perhaps being able to add a category for special memories when you can insert a picture and write a little note about that day. Or really to be able to create a niche category for anything one might think of (since I have a lot of niche interests).
Anyway, perhaps I am thinking about this app from the wrong angle? None the less, the app is executed perfectly otherwise!

Am glad you liked the app :) Moment as a molecule is on my list as I have had one more person ask for this. Lot of people have asked for custom category and am trying to figure out how best to do it. Currently every category is carefully curated based on the needs for each category, so a little hard to figure out how best to do this. Feel feel to email me from the Support section in the app if you need anything specific :)

Apologies, there is a code bug causing this issue and I have reverted the code and you should not been seeing the trail banner anymore.

Am glad you love the app :) It sounds like you are looking for light weight journaling app? Can you please send me an email (moleculist@abitofeverything.tech) with little more details on your thought.
A company to back
Have you faced an app claiming no data collection, only to find its web-linked privacy policy says otherwise? Here emerges a new leader in privacy transparency.
Many privacy policies mislead users by stating “no personal data” is collected while detailing various data that might be “non-personal data.” This could be a flaw in Apple’s system, though I don’t see how Apple permits developers to use incorrect data handling methods by offering options like “data collected: usage data.” Yet, some companies ignore this and still claim no data collection on their App Store app, even as they employ third-party mining companies to analyze and collect your entire app usage. They then have the nerve to charge you while their analytic drivers pay them.
Transparency is the cornerstone of doing business with any company, in my view. Even if data is collected, whether personal or non-personal, trust is essential.
* Privacy Policy Importance: Straightforward and transparent privacy policies are essential for building trust with users.
* Data Collection Transparency: Companies should be transparent about the data they collect, even if it’s non-personal data, to avoid misleading users.
* Trust and Transparency: Transparency in data handling practices is crucial for building trust with users, even if data collection occurs.

Thank you for recognizing our commitment to privacy transparency! Your data in Moleculist stays 100% local to your device and iCloud account. No analytics, no tracking, no access from my end. The only external connections are when you choose to search for movies, games, or books—and even then, only the search query is sent, never your personal data, and it can be avoided by using manual add option. I built Moleculist to respect users the way I want to be respected. Thank you for your trust!
The update is great!

Update on 7/30/25 Along with the new category "Games", I was able to implement some of the enhancements based on your feedback. Operation days for restaurants, reordering of categories, enhancements to timeline view (along with calendar view). As always, truly appreciate your feedback :) ------ Truly appreciate the feedback. Will work on fixing the kinks and allow the recording of categories, notes section on restaurants and changes to timeline view. If you go into say Books and scroll right on the filter pills, last pill is sort pill which allows for sorting. I will try and make sorting more visible in next update. Using the support option, can you please email me the link that is not working through share extension. Cheers.

Thanks for the detailed response letting me know what changes are coming, and explaining the features. Much appreciated and I look forward to future updates!
Original review: I had high hopes but there are some kinks. My very first entry I wanted to add was a restaurant website straight from google…I found Moleculist from the share options and it said “Error, Unsupported Content Type” when I tried to add the website restaurant. If it can’t share the most basic of google web addresses, I don’t have high hopes it will do anything it says it will do. Also I want to indicate that the restaurant is closed on Mondays, but the notes don’t display from the timeline. So I had to add “CLOSED ON MONDAYS” to the restaurant’s name, so I would know at a glance when it is not open. There should be a way to determine what parts of a note/entry we want to display as viewable on the timeline. For example, it is unimportant when I added a restaurant to the timeline. I want a way to edit that, to delete it from the timeline, as it just clutters things up.
Another issue - you can delete your data and start from scratch but there is no way to REORDER. Whatever order you add your categories to track books, plants, restaurants whatever - is how they will permanently display to the left. I want to drag them in to the order I want so the categories I track the most are at the top of the list!
