## What is Sonder?

Everyone has a story, as vivid and complicated as your own. Sonder helps you find where yours quietly overlaps with everyone else's.

You record the moments that matter to you, including the ones that never fit neatly on Instagram or LinkedIn. Sonder keeps them private and looks for the parallels you share with other people, so you have a real reason to reach out.

WRITE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Save memories as you live them, with photos, dates, and whatever you were thinking at the time. Group them into arcs, the chapters you're moving through: the post-grad fog, the fitness kick, the going-out era. It's your journal, and it stays yours.

SEE YOUR WORLD TAKE SHAPE
Every memory adds to a map of the people, places, and things in your life and the ways they connect. Move back through time to watch it grow. Tap anything to return to the moments behind it.

TALK IT THROUGH
The Narrator is a voice companion that already knows your story. Talk to it about what's on your mind, and it can write memories and arcs from the conversation while you speak.

FIND YOUR PARALLELS
Ask something like "who else has been through this?" and Sonder looks for people whose stories line up with yours. You see what you have in common before you ever meet. Your memories stay private the whole time, and nothing is shared unless you decide to share it.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Everything you write is invisible to start. The more of yourself you put in, the more parallels Sonder can find for you, and you stay in control the entire way. Make an arc public when you want to, send a memory to a friend, keep a shared arc together, or hold the whole thing close.

The more honest your story, the more surface area you give to serendipity.

## Frequently asked questions about Sonder

The knowledge graph is an interactive 3D visualization that maps out the people, places, and things in your life based on your memories. You can scrub through time and tap on nodes to explore the connections and memories associated with them.

### How does the Matchmaker feature work in Sonder?

The Matchmaker uses AI to explore your personal knowledge graph and find individuals whose stories resonate thematically with yours. Your memories remain private unless you choose to share them, and connections are based on thematic resonance.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.20 — 2026-08-23

Your memories now have a calendar. Scroll back month by month and see how a year actually went, then tap any day to start reading.

Other improvements & bug fixes:
• Arcs rise to the top of Home the moment you add a memory to them
• Memories the Narrator files into an arc now show up in its chat
• Chats no longer jump when the keyboard opens
• Settings got a visual refresh and a tidier layout

### 1.1.19 — 2026-08-21

Finishing your interview now lands somewhere simpler: one screen where parallel invitations appear as they're found — each one a real arc you can open and join on the spot, and more keep arriving while you read. The recap of what you wrote got a cleaner look, invitations no longer show up twice in your activity, and the first minutes of Sonder got smoother and quicker throughout.

### 1.1.18 — 2026-08-19

Arcs are easier to share. A link now opens the arc for whoever you send it to — they can read it right away, with nothing to join and nothing to accept — and if it's your arc, you can see who arrived through your link and invite them in from the same place. We've also folded onboarding into fewer steps, made drafts look the same wherever you capture them, and smoothed out how the Narrator responds.

### 1.1.17 — 2026-08-19

Sonder finds arcs you have in common with others. Parallels now matches more than one memory at a time, shows you which of your memories earned an invitation, and gives declining one a visible action. We've also rebuilt onboarding around your own voice, and redesigned in-app navigation to make it easier to chat with and organize your arcs.

### 1.1.15 — 2026-08-15

Sonder finds arcs you have in common with others. Parallels now matches more than one memory at a time, shows you which of your memories earned an invitation, and gives declining one a visible action. We've also rebuilt onboarding around your own voice, and redesigned in-app navigation to make it easier to chat with and organize your arcs.
