Faintly vs Kept By

Your past is fading. Not all at once—but little by little, every year. The people. The places. The moments that made you who you are. One day you'll reach for a memory and it won't be there. Faintly is where you keep them before that happens. — THIS IS NOT A DAILY JOURNAL Faintly isn't about documenting today. It's about capturing memories from your past—last week, last year, or thirty years ago. When nostalgia hits, open Faintly and write it down. Just a few words. That's enough. — HOW IT WORKS Write the memory in your own words. It doesn't need to be long or polished. Just enough to anchor it. Place it in time—by year if you remember, or by life stage if you don't. "Kindergarten" or "First job" works just as well as "Summer 1998." Tag the people and places that matter. Over time, you'll see who and where your memories keep returning to. Mark how it feels now. Not how it felt then—how thinking about it makes you feel today. — WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER • Your memories organised by decades, people, places, and feelings • Which life stages hold the most moments • The people your mind keeps coming back to • Patterns in how your past feels to you now — DESIGNED FOR FADING MEMORIES No photos. Faintly is for the moments that can't be photographed—the textures, voices, and feelings that only exist in your head. The ones you only faintly remember. No pressure. Capture a memory in thirty seconds or spend ten minutes. There's no streak to maintain, no daily prompt to ignore. No complexity. Just your words, a rough time, and the people and places that were there. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your memories never leave your device unless you choose to export them. Face ID and Touch ID lock available. No account required. No cloud by default. Your past belongs to you. — START FREE Keep up to 30 memories free—enough to see if Faintly fits the way your mind works. Faintly Pro removes the limit entirely. Unlimited memories, forever. $4.99/month or $29.99/year. — WHO FAINTLY IS FOR • People who want to preserve memories from their past before they fade • Anyone who feels nostalgia and wants to capture it in their own words • People who've realized their memories are slipping away with time • Those building a quiet archive of their life—the moments that made them who they are — Your past is fading. The rooms, the people, the feelings—they're getting harder to remember. Faintly is here for the ones your mind keeps bringing back.
