About

Moraine

Features
Read full description

Moraine is where everything you notice goes. A thought at a traffic light. A link you'll want in a year. A voice memo on a walk. A journal entry at the end of the day. Moraine takes all of it through whichever door is nearest, and then does the filing for you. Each thing that lands gets a title, a short summary and a handful of tags, written on your device. You never have to name anything, file anything, or decide where it belongs. You just put it in. MORE DOORS THAN A NOTEBOOK NEEDS • The app — a note, journal entry, link or voice memo, with photos and video attached • The share sheet — from anywhere on iPhone or iPad • Safari on Mac — clips the readable article, not the page furniture • Siri and the Action Button — "Add a note to Moraine saying pick up oat milk" • Widgets and Control Centre — one tap to a blank note or a recording • The Mac menu bar, a global hotkey, and drag and drop FIND IT BY WHAT YOU MEANT Search matches words and meaning together. Ask your library a question — "what did I write about the move?" — and Moraine gathers the entries that answer it and writes the answer from them, naming every one it used so you can check it. It is built for subjects rather than single moments, and says so plainly when it can't help rather than guessing: it doesn't count or compare, and can't see inside a photograph. Every entry also shows the ones nearest it in meaning, and old writing resurfaces on its own — an anniversary, or something close to what you've been writing lately. WAYS BACK IN A calendar that runs both directions: what you captured on a day, beside what was in your diary. A map of where you were. A tag cloud. A photo wall. Stats. Separate journals for work, travel, or whatever you keep apart. BRING YOUR OLD JOURNAL WITH YOU Moraine imports a Day One export — entries, dates, tags, places, weather, favourites, photos and video — and Apple's Journal export too. Nothing is silently dropped. An export doesn't always contain every file it lists, so Moraine writes a note into your library naming each one and the entry it belonged to. Export again and it fills the gaps. Import is free and untimed. ON YOUR DEVICE, NOT OURS There is no Moraine account and no Moraine server. Titles, summaries, tags, the search index and voice transcription are all produced on your device. Your library lives on your devices and syncs through your own private iCloud database, which nobody else — including the developer — can read. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. The handful of things that touch a server are off until you switch them on, and the privacy policy names every one of them. YOURS TO TAKE, ALWAYS Export writes plain JSON with your photos and recordings beside it as ordinary files, and a page that shows the whole library in any browser with Moraine deleted. The format is documented at hoardplovers.github.io/moraine-site/format.html, so someone else could read it back. Snapshot to Files keeps a copy on the device with one tap. Save as PDF sets a year, a journal or the lot as a book — cover, contents, a chapter a month, photographs beside the writing — at A5, 6 × 9 in or A4. Export always works — during the trial, after it, bought or not. FREE FOR 14 DAYS Everything works for two weeks. After that, capture, browsing, keyword search, import and export keep working for good. The on-device intelligence — generated titles, summaries and tags, search by meaning, asking your library, related entries and resurfacing — is what unlocks with a single one-time purchase. No subscription and no account. One purchase covers your iPhone, iPad and Mac, and Family Sharing is on. Requires iOS 26 or macOS 26. Generated titles, summaries and tags are at their best on devices that support Apple Intelligence; without it, Moraine still titles and tags every entry using a simpler on-device method.
