Sometimes a thought suddenly comes to mind. A thought that comes while looking at a photo, or something you want to remember while reading an article online. You don't always need to write a long journal entry or organize your thoughts. Just leave the moment as it is with Moment. [Simple Notes] Add a title and write your thoughts, then include photos or links along with them. You can add up to 10 photos and save links with a preview. When words aren't enough, you can also use handwriting or voice recordings. [Capture Moments Right Away] When you come across a photo or something you want to remember, you can send it directly to Moment from the Share Sheet. We kept the process simple so you can capture a moment before it passes. [Look Back on Your Moments] Your moments are organized in a calendar, so you can see your memories at a glance. Look back at what you were thinking on a particular day and rediscover moments from the past. You can also export your records as PDF or save them as a single image. [Keep Your Records Private] Protect your personal records with screen lock. With CloudKit sync, your records can stay up to date across your Apple devices. Moment isn't meant for writing a perfect journal. Even an ordinary day can have a small moment worth keeping. When a thought comes to mind, just leave it with Moment. Moment
