Every encounter tells a story. Don't let it fade. Meetory transforms chance encounters into lasting memories. Whether you're at a conference, coffee shop, or traveling abroad — capture and cherish the people you meet. Each memory is private, visible only to the people who were there. Instant QR Connect Skip the awkward contact exchange. Scan a QR code and you're connected — profiles shared, memory created. Works on iPhone, iPhone Duo, iPad, and Apple Watch. Shared Memories Every memory is shared. Each participant can contribute their own photos, comments and music tracks, creating a richer story from multiple perspectives. Location and weather are captured automatically. Memories From Photos You Already Have Some of your best encounters happened before Meetory. Pick photos from your library and Meetory builds the memory around them — date and place included. Invite by Link Nobody around to scan a code? Send a single-use invite link instead. The recipient opens it in Meetory to accept or decline, and the link expires the moment it's used. Around Me Everyone you've met, on one map of where they're based — nearest first. Travelling? Say where you're staying and until when, and your connections see you there instead of home. Know Who's Close Meetory can let you know when someone you've met is in the same city, so a trip becomes a chance to catch up. Never Lost for Words About to see someone again? On-device AI suggests openers written around the memory you already share — nothing leaves your iPhone. Keep the Details Save anyone you've met straight to your Contacts — name, job, company, email, phone and social links, all prefilled. Organize memories with private tags like "networking", "conference", or "coffee chat", fully searchable. Beautiful Share Cards Turn your memories into stunning share cards for social media. Multiple styles to choose from. Private by Design Sign in with Apple. No public profiles, no social feeds, no broadcasting. Only participants can see a memory. Leave it anytime; once the last person leaves, it's gone — no hidden copies, no data hoarding. All data hosted in the EU under GDPR protection. iPhone Duo Ready Open or closed, Meetory adapts to every pose of iPhone Duo, and screens like your profile and photos split around the hinge. Apple Watch Ready Show your QR code right from your wrist, and browse your memories, connections and who's around without reaching for your phone. A watch face complication keeps your code one tap away. Widgets, Siri & Spotlight Create or join a memory straight from your Home Screen, or ask Siri. Your memories and connections turn up in Spotlight, Apple Intelligence and Shortcuts, and Meetory is built for iOS 27. Meetory Pro Join memories, add photos, comments and music tracks, and manage your profile — all free. Creating new memories, whether from a QR scan or from your photo library, is unlocked with Meetory Pro. Accessible to Everyone Every action works with VoiceOver, including the ones that need a long press. Speaks Your Language Meetory is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil) and Japanese. Join the Community Questions, ideas or feedback?

Your community finally has its own place. Groupanda is a workspace for private communities: real-time chat organized into channels, with roles, moderation tools, and built-in membership subscriptions. All in one app. Stop stitching tools together. Running a community across a group chat, a social media page and a separate payment platform means fighting your tools instead of caring for your people. Important messages get buried. New members feel lost. And billing lives somewhere else entirely. Groupanda brings conversations, structure and member management into one calm place. CHANNELS, NOT CHAOS Every topic gets its own channel, so conversations stay readable. Someone joining a month from now will still find what matters. No more scrolling through thousands of messages in a single group chat. MEMBERSHIPS BUILT IN Run free groups or paid ones, with a single membership plan or several. A member subscribes and gets access automatically. No manual invites, no spreadsheets to maintain, no separate billing platform. Payments are processed by Stripe. YOUR GROUP, YOUR RULES You decide who joins, who sees what, and who can post. Assign roles: owner, admin, member. Hand off work without handing over control. NO ALGORITHM, NO ADS Every message reaches every member. Nobody filters your conversations. No ads between discussions. A private space for your people. EVERYTHING IN ONE APP Chat, channels, direct messages, file sharing, voice messages, photos, documents, member management, moderation and billing. In one place. FEATURES - Real-time chat organized into channels - Direct messages between members - Built-in subscriptions and billing (payments by Stripe) - Free and paid groups - Multiple membership plans, with channel access per plan, or one-time payment with lifetime access - Roles and permissions (owner, admin, member) - Moderation: ban and mute - File sharing (documents, photos) - Voice messages - Invite links to join in one tap - Member management panel - Billing overview for the group owner - Push notifications HOW IT WORKS 1.
