Pinvely is a location-based diary app that lets you leave diaries at the places you have been and look back on them again over time. From travel destinations and familiar walking paths to favorite cafes and places from special days, record your personal memories on a map and selectively share the moments you spent with friends. Key Features - Map-Based Diary Writing: Long-press a place on the map or use your current location to write a diary. - Date, Topic, Mood, and Weather: Today is selected by default, but you can choose past dates too. Future dates cannot be selected. Add topic, mood, and weather icons to capture the feeling of the day. - Photo & Video Attachments: Add photos and videos along with your writing to make each memory feel more vivid. - Drafts: Save a diary as a draft and come back later to finish it. - Selective Sharing with Friends: Keep a diary private, or share it with specific friends or friend groups. - Shared Diaries: View diaries shared by friends, and see them together with your own records in Total Diaries and Search. - Memories with Friends: Gather the places and records you have shared with each other in one place. - Memory Stamps: Leave a warm, expressive stamp on a diary shared by a friend, and see the stamps friends leave on diaries you shared. - On This Day: If you have diaries written or shared on the same date in past years, Pinvely helps you rediscover them. - Powerful Search & Filters: Search by title, content, address, place name, topic, mood, weather, date, friend, friend group, or diary group. - List and Map Views: View search results as a list or check them directly on the map. - Diary Group Management: Create your own groups such as Walks, Workouts, Gatherings, or Anniversaries, and organize records with icons and colors. - Friend Codes and Friend Groups: Connect by sharing friend codes, and manage sharing ranges more easily with friend groups. - Push Notifications: Receive notifications for friend requests, shared diaries, memory stamps, and On This Day memories. - Themes, Color Tones, and Multiple Languages: Pinvely supports light, dark, and system themes, multiple color tones, and various language settings. - Account Management: Log out, request account dormancy, or delete your account. When dormancy is enabled, your data is not deleted, but your friend list, shared diaries, and memory stamps are hidden from other users. Record everyday moments together with the places where they happened using Pinvely. When you look back later, the emotions of that day and the people you shared it with will naturally come back to life.
