A private archive of your life, woven from the moments that shaped you. Golden Thread is a timeline for the milestones and memories you want to keep: the first apartment, the long drive, the day the dog came home. No feed, no followers, no account. Your archive lives on your device, and nothing leaves it unless you choose. CAPTURE WHAT MATTERS • Memories with notes, a photo, a date or a time, a category and tags • Tag the people and pets who were there • Add a place by searching or dropping a pin • Keep a trip's days together, inside the memory they belong to • Note what something cost, in your own currency • A yearly reminder for any anniversary, and birthdays with ages FIND IT AGAIN • A timeline grouped by year and month • Search, and filter by type, tag or milestone • Gather memories into threads, like Homes, Pets or Travel • On This Day brings back what happened, years later • Coming Up shows the dates ahead • Insights: archive totals, types, and the tags and people who appear most PRIVATE BY DESIGN • On your device by default, with no account to create • Mark a memory private and reveal it only with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode • Private memories stay out of Spotlight search • No ads and no AI; your memories are never used to train anything • Export the whole archive as one .gtarchive file and import it on another device ROOM TO BREATHE On iPad and iPhone Duo, your archive sits on one side and the memory on the other. Choose which tabs you see. GOLDEN THREAD PLUS Free covers everything above, with one photo per memory and two threads. Plus, a one-time purchase, adds: • Unlimited photos on every memory, and unlimited threads • Video clips and audio memos • iCloud sync across your devices, off until you turn it on • Places: a map and checklist of the states and countries you've been • A timeline for each person and pet, with every memory you've shared • Spending by category, thread or tag • Recaps of one year or many, saved as a PDF • Home Screen widgets: On This Day, Coming Up and a random memory Golden Thread isn't a daily journal. It's a thread you weave slowly, for the moments worth keeping.
