Life is made of moments. Some pass unnoticed, others stay with us. Nebula saves one memory a day and turns your everyday life with the people who matter into a story everyone can look back on. ONE MEMORY A DAY Tap the orb, open the camera, and capture the moment that defined your day. Each memory includes a photo, up to three context tags, and if you want, a song that matches the moment. PRIVATE ROOMS, ONLY FOR PEOPLE YOU INVITE Memories live in rooms you create or join with an invite code. There is no public feed, no profile search, and no discovering strangers: only people who received a code from someone in the group can join. Join multiple rooms, with friends, family, or any group of people, and switch between them whenever you want. THE SOUNDTRACK OF THE MOMENT Search the Apple Music or Spotify catalog and attach a song to the day's memory. Nebula stores the title, artist, and cover art to add context to the entry. BROWSE THROUGH THE DAYS Move through the timeline using the date strip or by dragging the orb, and revisit what the group has recorded. New entries are always for the current day; past days remain available to view. PRIVACY AND COMMUNITY Nebula uses your iCloud account: there is no sign up, no password, and no public profile. Data lives in the app's iCloud container and is visible only to people in the same room. You can report abusive content right from settings (we review every report within 24 hours) and hide any room member's memories whenever you want. Because the people who are part of your life are also part of your days, and both are worth keeping.
