Sayner is a private keepsake for the people who share a place. Built for one family's lake house in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, Sayner keeps the photos, videos, and stories of a place across the years — so the memories outlast any single season, and the next generation can see what it was like. • A shared feed of memories, in order, by year • Photos and videos, organized into buckets like "Lake Life," "Renovation," or "4th of July" • Add your own take to any memory — everyone's voice, kept together • Track every visit and see who's spent the most days at the lake • Private by invitation only — nothing is public, ever No ads. No algorithms. No likes. Just the memories your family keeps. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.7 — 2026-08-08 • Tag family in a memory and they'll get a notification — tap it to jump straight to the post and add your own photos • All-new photo viewer: smooth zooming, swipe down to close, and photos open instantly — even offline • Photos tab is now organized by year • Pinch the feed to see whole years at a glance • Videos play automatically (muted — tap the speaker for sound) • Fixed a bug where tapping a photo occasionally opened the wrong one ### 1.6 — 2026-07-31 • Photos are now organized by when they were taken, not when they were uploaded — old memories land in the right year. • Buckets got a big upgrade: browse them as a gallery, reorder them your way, rename them, and add photos straight into one. • Search now suggests people and buckets as you type — tap to filter, stack filters together. • The People tab shows faces, finds far more people in group photos, and fills in missed tags when you rescan. • Your entire archive is now viewable offline — every photo is kept on your phone at browsing quality. • Smoother photo swiping, better-fitting photos in the feed, and many fixes under the hood. ### 1.5 — 2026-07-30 • Buckets now have their own view — see every bucket with its cover and count, and tap straight in. • Invite family with a single link that carries the house code, so joining takes one tap. • Add a visit right from the feed's + button. • Smoother swiping between photos, and posts now fit each photo properly instead of cropping to the first one. ### 1.4 — 2026-07-29 • People: Sayner can now find faces in your photos and group them, so you can see everything with a person in it. Faces are analyzed only on your iPhone. • Profile pictures — your photo now appears on everything you post. • Tell your story out loud: talk, and your iPhone writes it down and tidies it up. • Share a post or photo with a link that opens right where you sent it. • Find and hide look-alike photos, and skip ones already in the archive. • Select many photos at once to save at full quality or add to a bucket. • Write entries with no signal — they upload themselves when you're back in range. ### 1.3 — 2026-07-28 • Get a notification when someone adds a new memory or logs a visit • The whole archive now works offline — photos are saved to your phone automatically on Wi-Fi --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
