Life moves fast. Time Atlas helps you hold on to it. Time Atlas is an automatic visual diary that turns each day into a bento: one elegant grid of your places, routes, activities and photos. Inspired by the Japanese lunch box, it gives every part of your day its own neat dish – no mashed-up leftovers. No writing, no streaks, no effort. Just your day, as it really was. Time Atlas works quietly in the background while you live your life. Photos arrive from your photo library, routes become maps, and places and activities fill in the rest of your daily bento. Day after day, your bentos grow into a private visual journal, far easier to revisit than pages of text. No smartwatch needed – just your iPhone. HOW TIME ATLAS HELPS • Remember every day – revisit any day to see where you went, how you got there and what happened along the way. • Keep a journal without the hassle – your bentos fill themselves in, and you can rearrange them or swap photos anytime. • Write notes whenever inspiration strikes – each note lands on the right day, beside everything else. • Enjoy the trip, not the tracking – Time Atlas notices when you leave and gathers the whole journey into one trip, with its own map, photos and highlights. • Bring your life into one place – import past journals and location history, and connect the apps you use today, so your memories live in one journal, not many. • See your health in context – steps, sleep and workouts from Apple Health appear right in your bentos, so a morning run or a restless night becomes part of the picture. • Keep your memories private – for your eyes only, always. WHAT WE BELIEVE • Memories fade, even the important ones. A few small details can bring a whole day back. • Looking back should feel like a delight, whether it’s a milestone, a big trip or just last weekend. • Every day is worth remembering, even the ordinary ones. Years from now, a quiet Tuesday may be the day you treasure most. TIME ATLAS IS FOR YOU IF… • You want to live in the moment, but even special moments fade in the rush of everyday life. • You love the idea of journaling, but it feels like a chore and keeps getting pushed aside. • You’d rather enjoy your trips than spend them logging where you’ve been. • Your photos, workouts, notes and places are scattered across apps, and you want them in one place. PRIVATE BY DESIGN We will never see or access your data. Your memories remain yours alone, always. • Local storage – your data is stored on your iPhone and in your own iCloud backup. • Your eyes only – we can’t see your memories. When you leave, you leave no trace. • No third-party access – we never share, sell or analyze your personal data. • Yours to keep – export everything, anytime. No lock-in. • AI by choice – our optional AI features may briefly and anonymously exchange data with OpenAI. Turn them off anytime in Settings. IMPORT, EXPORT & CONNECT • Import from Google Maps Timeline, Moves, Apple Journal, Day One, GPX, Goodreads, StoryGraph and Letterboxd. • Export to JSON, GeoJSON and PDF. • Connect your calendar, Apple Health, Google Health, Last.fm, Trakt.tv and Literal.club. TIME ATLAS PLUS Time Atlas is free to use and your data is always yours, whatever you choose. Time Atlas Plus adds AI features, the Recall and Dashboard tabs for rediscovering memories and detailed stats, and more ways to personalize your days.

A better day, every day. Your AI briefs you each morning — weather, schedule, what to wear — and reflects with you at night. Vioday isn't a journal you have to write in.
