Memolinx is a new kind of memory app — capture your photos and videos, organize them by place, time, and the people you were with, and relive them on a living map and timeline. Keep memories private, share them with the people who were there, or make them public. Capture a moment the instant it happens and Memolinx tags it with where and when it took place, then drops it onto a beautiful map and timeline you can revisit any time. Instead of losing your best moments in an endless camera roll, you relive them by place and by date — and share the ones you want with the people who were there. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Create memories with photos, videos, and notes — keep them private, share with followers, or make them public • See everywhere you've been on an interactive map, and scroll a timeline that ties places, dates, and events together • Group related moments into events and trips — a whole journey told as one story • Follow friends and family, react with likes and comments, and share memories publicly or with just the people you choose • Message the people you share moments with — chats are automatically enriched with the relevant memories and events you're discussing • Search Memolinx, a built-in AI for your memories: ask by voice or text about where you've been, when something happened, or what you did — across your private, shared, and public memories Memolinx brings your memories, your people, and an AI that truly understands your history into one place. Whether it's a trip, a celebration, or an ordinary day worth keeping, it helps you remember not just what happened — but where, when, and with whom.

Photo Studio by Square's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
