Memodori — A Journal Along Your Timeline Some things are worth keeping in order. Memodori lays your notes, memories, and the thoughts that pass through along a single timeline you can wander — back through the years, or forward to what's still to come. Like a slip of fine paper, written upon time itself. # A TIMELINE YOU CAN WANDER • Browse your notes as dots along time — the bigger the dot, the more a moment mattered • Group by day, week, month, or year, or let Smart and Adaptive modes shape the view around your note density and the distance in time (Premium can fine-tune the rules) • Scroll through your notes and the timeline dot follows along, settling into place with a soft haptic tap • Write freely with titles, dates, categories, importance, custom icons, and tags # TEMPLATES FOR WHAT YOU WRITE AGAIN AND AGAIN • Save a weekly review, your reading notes, or a travel journal as a template — title, text, category, importance, icon, privacy, and tags all ready to go • Touch and hold + to start a note from a template, or turn any note worth reusing into one • Set reminders that open the right template on the days and at the time you choose (Premium) # MEMORIES THAT FIND YOU • On This Day surfaces what you wrote on this date in years past — a month, six months, a year ago — as a quiet daily card, with an optional reminder at a time you choose • Daily Reflection brings a gentle once-a-day prompt; tap it and a new note opens with the question already at the top • Every reflection is tagged on its own, so you can gather them all whenever you'd like to look back # CAPTURED THE MOMENT IT LANDS • Quick Capture opens a fresh note in a single tap — from a Home or Lock Screen widget, or from Control Center, which also reaches On This Day, Daily Reflection, and Private Mode (iOS 18) • Speak your note instead of typing it — voice input turns your words straight into text (Premium) • Or simply ask Siri, or run a Shortcut, to start a note without opening the app • A Streak widget keeps a quiet count of the days you've shown up, refreshing on its own at midnight # FIND ANYTHING, FAST • Search across everything, and filter by category, tag, importance, date range, or the template a note came from — with a live count of what matches • Keep it all tidy with custom tags built for easy retrieval • Personalize each note from a library of thousands of icons — smart categories, bilingual search, and several rendering styles # PRIVATE, BY CHOICE • Keep sensitive notes in a separate private space that asks for authentication to open • Private notes stay fully apart from your timeline until you step into Private Mode • Lock the whole journal behind Face ID / Touch ID and an app lock # YOURS, EVERYWHERE, MADE YOURS • Sync seamlessly across your Apple devices with iCloud — offline-first, catching up the moment you reconnect • Choose your accent color, timeline style, and font size; settle into light or dark • Meet Memodori's Liquid Glass look on iOS 26 — note cards, filters, and the timeline itself feel lighter and more tactile (classic look preserved on earlier versions) • Give each category its own color, and choose exactly what shows on your note cards — icon, tags, badges, and preview length (Premium) • Export any note as a PDF or image, ready to share or keep outside the app (Premium) • Enjoy 10+ languages, switched on the fly, with a layout fully at home on iPad Whether you're keeping personal memories, following a project, or collecting the places you've been, Memodori helps it all settle gently into place — along a timeline that is yours. We hope you enjoy writing with Memodori. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Trace Binder

Things worth remembering, are about "me", yet they belongs to more than just "me". Meeting, lingering, accompanying, Or perhaps, gazing from afar as a bystander. Every moment of mindfulness is an intersection between us. They exist in their own worlds, yet leave traces within our time. The birth of Trace Binder is born from a desire to better preserve those fragments. It can be a manager of memories, or a collection of life’s treasures. It will walk with you, picking up the little pebbles along the journey.
