About

Our Story Log

Features
Read full description

A social media platform for posting memories from your past to present — "When, Where, What." A place where every post is treated with equal respect, where you can record things as they truly happened and look back on them. We want to create a place where you can easily record and reflect on your everyday life — the good days and the bad — so that your choices tomorrow can be better. [On social media, your moments don't last] Social media is full of criticism, making it hard to write honestly. Only "picture-perfect" posts get attention, while ordinary days get buried. And what you write drifts away and disappears over time, impossible to trace back later. Our Story Log treats every event flatly — famous or unknown, a picture-perfect day or an ordinary one — based on the belief that "every event has meaning," regardless of who posted it. [Main Features] Record events Post in the format of "when, where, what happened." Just enter a date, location, and text to record everyday moments as well as major life milestones. Look back with a timeline Posted events line up chronologically as a timeline. You can view your own records at a glance, or browse other users' timelines. Reflect on records with a dashboard Check what you did on this day last year, in the same month in the past, or track your posting streak. Organize by theme with lists Group events into themed lists. Manage your own collections tailored to your needs — travel, books you've read, work, and more. Connect events with relations Link your events to another person's events with a single connecting line. Visualize connections by associating events that influenced you or served as a catalyst. [Privacy Settings] Each post can be set to public or private. Use it as a private diary just for yourself, or as a record shared with the world.
