Bad Memory
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bad Memory is your private record of the life you’ve lived - a simple way to save the moments, milestones, trips, places, and everyday details you don’t want to forget. Your memory can be unreliable. Bad Memory doesn’t have to be. Record what happened, when it happened, where you were, and who was there. Over time, Bad Memory becomes a searchable personal history you can return to whenever you’re trying to remember the details. REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED Quickly record memories, events, trips, milestones, and important moments from your life. Add dates, people, places, categories, notes, and other details when they matter. REDISCOVER YOUR PAST Open Today to see what happened on this same date in previous years. A forgotten trip, an old milestone, or an ordinary moment can become meaningful again years later. FIND THE DETAILS YOU FORGOT Search your personal history instead of digging through old photos, calendars, messages, and emails. Filter your records by date, category, person, place, and more. KEEP YOUR LIFE ORGANIZED Your memories are stored in a chronological timeline that becomes more useful the longer you use it. Browse your history, update details, and keep important moments from disappearing with time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Bad Memory is built for you - not an audience. There’s no social feed and no public profile of your memories. Your personal history stays tied to your account. You live it. Bad Memory remembers it. Your memory, backed up.
