On your phone, swipe to scroll through your timeline and pinch to change its scale. GIVE MEMORIES THEIR CONTEXT Add photos, a place, a mood or a song to an event. Keep a travel memory, a family celebration or an ordinary afternoon with someone you love. A short note can hold the details you would otherwise forget. FIND THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER Organize your diary with tags, people, life periods and importance levels. Revisit your time at school, the years in a particular city or the memories you share with one person. Search your entries when you want to find a specific moment. RETURN TO YOUR STORY Rediscover past events through memories, look back at how your life has unfolded and share selected moments as designed cards. Write as much or as little as you want, whenever you have something to remember. YOUR DIARY ON YOUR PHONE AND IN YOUR BROWSER Open your online diary in a browser with the same account you use on your phone. Your entries sync when you are connected. On your phone, write entries offline and sync when you reconnect. Protect access to the app with a passcode or biometric unlock on a supported device. Lifely includes ads and in-app purchases.
