MiniiMe is a cozy pixel journal that turns your memories into the story of your life, and lets you talk to the person you used to be. DESIGN YOUR MINIIME Create a little pixel you: body, skin tone, hair, clothes, glasses, extras like sunglasses, freckles, a beard, earrings, a scarf or a backpack, and a different hat for every year. Your MiniiMe walks along the bottom of every screen, under a bright pixel sky by day and a starry one by night. LIVE ANYWHERE, YEAR BY YEAR Pick where your MiniiMe lives from 14 pixel places: desert, grassland, city, bridge, beach, snowy peaks, forest, countryside, office, sports field, campus green, neighborhood, city park and a lake cabin. Add the places you lived before, and each year of My Life shows up in the place you were then. SWIPE THROUGH THE CHAPTERS OF YOUR LIFE My Life turns each year into an animated chapter. Your MiniiMe walks in with the people who were part of that time, your memories become signposts, and every chapter gets a short summary of what happened. Tap Play my life to watch it all, year by year. THE PEOPLE (AND PETS) IN YOUR STORY Add a partner, family, friends, coworkers or your dog or cat. Give them a name, a look and the dates they were in your life. They walk beside you in those chapters. When a chapter ends, mark them as no longer in your life and they stay in the years you shared. TALK TO PAST YOU Chat with your MiniiMe from any year. Replies come only from what you actually wrote back then, in your own voice. Ask what you were worried about, what you were excited for, or tell past you how it all turned out. DAILY 20 A gentle daily reminder to capture your day in 20 seconds: talk and MiniiMe writes it down, film a 20-second video, or type up to 280 characters. EVERY KIND OF MEMORY - Write, record video, or seal a time capsule for future you - Attach photos and videos from your library and place them on the day they happened - Search everything, jump between years, and swipe from one memory to the next REAL TIME CAPSULES Write a letter to future you and pick the day it opens. Once you seal it, it stays sealed. Not even you can read it early: it shows only "Sealed until" and the date, it stays out of search, and your MiniiMes don't know what's inside. On the day it opens, you get a notification. WHAT YOU SAID, WRITTEN DOWN What you say in your videos is turned into text right on your iPhone and kept with the memory, so you can read it back, search it, and your MiniiMes remember it too. STREAKS, RANKS AND BADGES Watch your MiniiMe climb from Novice to Legend, keep your streak alive and unlock achievements. YOUR MEMORIES STAY YOURS Your journal lives on your iPhone and is backed up privately. Sign in with your email or phone number and your memories follow you to a new phone. Photos you attach from your library stay in your library, so they don't take up extra space. Memories are only shared with our AI partner when you agree, and only to write your replies and chapter summaries. You can turn backup and AI sharing off at any time in Settings. YOUR FIRST YEAR IS FREE Every new MiniiMe account gets its first full year free. After that, MiniiMe Yearly is $14.99 a year and keeps your MiniiMe chats, life chapters and cloud backup going. Your journal always stays on your iPhone, even without a plan. MiniiMe Yearly is an auto-renewing yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.

Something's on your mind, and the right words are just out of reach. Reflection Partner is an AI app for self-reflection that helps you put difficult thoughts and feelings into words. BRING AN UNFINISHED THOUGHT Things people might bring: "I keep saying I'm angry, but that's not quite it. Something about that conversation really got to me." "I can explain why either choice makes sense. I'm having trouble hearing what I actually want." FIND THE WORDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR You often know the right words when you see them. Reflection Partner responds to what you bring with language you can try on: a phrase that helps you hear what you've been trying to say, or a distinction that lets you understand it differently. DESIGNED TO CONTRIBUTE WITHOUT TAKING OVER • Careful attention to the experience itself. A qualification, a mixed feeling, or a passing detail can change what you understand. • Help that doesn't jump ahead. Being given an explanation and coming to recognize something for yourself are different experiences. • Room for the unresolved. Something can become easier to understand and still be difficult to live with. A response doesn't need to settle it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Say what's on your mind. Type it or speak it: a conversation you're dreading, a decision you're stuck on, or a feeling you can't quite pin down. 2. See the threads. Reflection Partner separates and names the parts of what you bring. Read the reply or listen to it. 3. See the story (beta). When you want more, it looks at how the parts relate and can draw on earlier conversations. This can take up to 3 minutes. You can leave the app and be notified when it's ready. 4. Keep what fits. Save passages from replies to return to later. If you're not sure how to start, Ways to Begin offers optional starting points. WHY AI You choose what to reflect on and decide what it means. Reflection Partner's responses are a little like picking up a book and finding a passage that connects with what you're working through. Neither the author nor the AI knows you, but if something rings true, it's still true. WHAT IT ISN'T Reflection Partner is not therapy and does not provide mental health treatment, diagnosis, or crisis support. It's for putting something into words, often before you talk with someone or decide what to do. It isn't an AI companion. It doesn't claim feelings, simulate affection, or ask for loyalty. A conversation can end when it has done its work. Responses are generated by AI, and AI can get things wrong. PRIVACY Reflection Partner does not sell or rent personal information and does not use the content of your reflections for advertising. You can delete individual reflections or your whole account in the app. The interface is in English. Responses adapt to the language you use.
