Read full description

With shared pictures and memories from friends and family the Recolens app will create a beautiful video portrait of the person you honor. The app will create a unique portrait by using different photo selections each time you watch it. The app is user friendly and it is easy to get started. Your memory will be ready in a few steps, available to share with family and friends giving them the opportunity to add their pictures and memories. For every new posts, the memory grows and transforms into a new memory. Recolens is the perfect platform to collect and gather photos and memories together with friends and relatives, a place to visit and gather around in times of sorrow and to remember. A memorial site always at hand, to visit at all times, at all places. Private or Public, that is up to you. You choose to make your memorial site in ´Private´ mood, only visible for invited guests, or choose ´Public´ mood for everyone to see. Regardless of your choice everyone must ask for your permission to add their content to the memorial site. As a part of our own journey through grief, Recolens was launched in the summer of 2023. We wanted to create a place where we collectively share memories of our loved ones who have left us. We hope that Recolens will be a comforting place for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one. A place where we can always go to remember, seek comfort and rejoice – today, tomorrow and for generations to come. The Recolens app is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian. Recolens is a free app without ads, religious neutral and non political initiative by Mother of AllTM Innovation Tech AB, based in Stockholm, Sweden.

You wrote it on your hardest day. You read it from the other side. Or you wrote it on the day everything felt possible again. Both belong here. FutureNote is a time capsule for what you actually feel today. Write it down. Choose a mood. Photograph the place you are sitting — not your face, but the desk, the window, the room. Then seal the letter: seven days, a month, a year, ten years. Sealed means sealed. Nobody opens it early. Not us, not you. There is no button that changes that and no price that unlocks it. On average, people tap a sealed letter six times before the day arrives. On the day you chose, it comes back. First the photo, for three seconds. Then your words, line by line. And then you write back — to the person you were. Tell them what happened. Whether the fear came true. Whether the hope was right. And seal it again. Month after month, year after year, a conversation with yourself grows. WHY IT WORKS Your memory keeps the facts but loses the feeling. Within weeks, the texture of a hard day softens into a vague summary, and the evidence of your own growth disappears with it. FutureNote captures the feeling before it fades and returns it when you are ready to read it. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Seal a letter for a week, a month, a season, a year, or a decade • Add a photo of where you were — the room, the desk, the window • Choose the mood you are writing in, and see how it shifts over time • Organize letters into chapters and watch a timeline of yourself build • Get a notification the moment a letter is ready to open • Write a reply to who you were, and seal it again YOUR LETTERS ARE YOURS Your letters are encrypted and belong only to you. They are not read, not sold, and never used to train anything. Write the first one today. Meet yourself later.
