Your whole life on one timeline. Lifely is a personal diary and journal for everyday memories and the moments that change your story. Keep the same diary on your phone and in your browser. Install Lifely on iPhone and iPad. On a Mac with Apple silicon, get the iPad app from the Mac App Store (Apple M1 or later, macOS 12 or later). You can also use the same diary in your browser. Write about today, add a memory from years ago, or record a milestone you want to look back on. Give each event a date and keep your thoughts, the people involved and the details together. SEE YOUR LIFE AT EVERY SCALE Zoom out to see years and decades, then zoom in to a single day. Follow the connections between everyday entries, important events and the different chapters of your life. The life calendar gives you another view of your years and weeks. 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. Photo attachments and some organization features are part of Premium. Start with one moment that matters to you. Let the next entries become part of your life story.
