About

We keep ten thousand photos and almost never keep a voice. A voice is the fastest trace of a person to disappear from memory — and the quickest to bring them back. timbre keeps the sound of the people and places you love. Press and hold, and it records a short spoken moment together with the room around it. The recording becomes a small living stone — colored by what it heard, sized by how long you listened — that settles into a timeline. Over months, the timeline becomes a warm field of colored stones: a map of a life in sound. Years later you can still hear exactly how someone said your name. WHAT IT DOES • Press and hold. A living form blooms with your voice while you record. • Words appear as you speak, transcribed on your phone, kept with the sound. • Stones take their color from the world — speech glows amber, rain pulls teal. • Tap a sentence in the transcript and playback jumps there. • Feel a recording through your fingertips — the heartbeat traces its shape, strong enough to know a moment without hearing it. • Gather stones by person and place: forty-one minutes of Mom. • On This Day brings a kept sound back to your home screen, quietly. WHAT IT DOESN'T No account. No feed. No streaks. Nothing leaves your phone — transcription happens on-device, recordings stay yours, and the only cloud is your own iCloud if you turn it on. There is no us. Everything works in airplane mode, from the first press.
