Your life in memories. A first word. A family trip. An ordinary afternoon you want to remember. DiaryVault brings your photos, videos, voice notes and words together, so you can keep the story around each moment. CREATE MEMORIES FROM YOUR PHOTOS Select photos and choose Create memories. With your permission, AI creates and saves Memory Cards with suggested titles, descriptions and keywords. Edit them anytime to make the story your own. Choose Save originals only to keep your media without creating AI Memory Cards. CAPTURE THE DETAILS Browse your photos and videos in Quick Capture, take a photo, record a voice note or write a few words while the moment is fresh. Add a saved note to your current draft when you want more context; the original note stays unchanged. Manage imported photos and videos in Library, including removing completed items while keeping existing Memory Cards and device photos. EXPLORE YOUR CONSTELLATION Revisit your memories through time, people, themes and places. Search for a moment, open its Memory Card and explore the memories within a Star. Add people by their DiaryVault username or profile link, or keep a private person without an account. You choose which memories to associate and share. REMEMBER TOGETHER Open a Memory Card and record or type a question. Share a link so someone can reply in the browser without downloading the app or signing in. Their original words or recording stay attached to your Memory Card. Browser replies are visible only to the memory owner, and guest names are self-reported. People who choose to join in the app can access replies shared with participants. SHARE A STAR WITH ONE LINK Share selected Memory Cards or a Star of connected memories with a website link. Add an optional passcode to a Star link. Recipients can view the shared Star, and users who sign in can save one independent private copy to their own constellation. If they already have a copy, they can open it again. Keep memories personal or invite people into a shared Star through Together. Saving a memory does not publish it. Adding a person does not grant access to your vault. Anyone with a working share link and, when required, its passcode can view the content shared through it. Public Discover rankings display your account username and points; your memories stay private unless you choose to share them. MAKE IT YOURS Update titles, descriptions and keywords whenever you like. AI memory creation uses Google Gemini with your permission. You can manage AI permission in Settings. DiaryVault is available in English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese. Optional monthly and yearly storage subscriptions are available. Eligible plans, local prices and plan details are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple account settings. Privacy Policy: https://diaryvault.com/privacy/ Terms of Service: https://diaryvault.com/terms/

My Little Firsts is a quiet, beautiful place to remember every milestone of your baby's first years. From the first smile to the first steps, every moment becomes an editorial keepsake card — typeset in elegant serif fonts, paired with the photo you took, and stamped with the date and your baby's age. No social feeds. No ads. No accounts. Just a private, gorgeous record of who they were on the day it happened. — FEATURES — • Track over 100 carefully chosen milestones across Expressions, Movement, Communication, Feeding, Social, and Holidays — plus add your own. • Five editorial card templates inspired by classic print design: Studio, Inscribed, Imprint, Bookplate, and Colophon. Restyle any moment in a single tap. • Decorative holiday frames for Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter, the 4th of July, and the first birthday — illustrated borders that turn any photo into a seasonal keepsake. • A built-in Milestone Camera with six hand-drawn overlay styles — Editorial, Garden, Polaroid, Heirloom, Moonlit, and Ribbon — so the photo and the caption are designed together from the start. • Slideshow Player — gather your favorite moments into a calm, elegant montage with optional ambient music. Perfect for grandparents, nurseries, or just looking back. • Save and share cards as high-resolution images, ready for the family group chat, a baby book, or the wall. • Everything stays on your device. No cloud, no tracking, no account required. — PREMIUM — The first 5 moments are free. Premium unlocks unlimited moments, the full Milestone Camera, sharing and saving, the Slideshow Player, and every restyle template — for $4.99/month or $19.99/year (save 67%, with a 7-day free trial). — ABOUT — Made by a parent, for parents who want something more lasting than a photo dump. Every detail — the typography, the layouts, the holiday illustrations — was designed to feel like something you'd keep on a shelf, not scroll past.
