ForgetMeNot is for remembering our lives. Not just the big stuff like birthdays and epic trips, but also the countless smaller moments we have with our friends, family, and ourselves. Like when your friend said something so dumb and funny you were laughing until it hurt. These times are the easiest to forget, but also what gives life real meaning. Now you can collect them all in your own memory jars. Keep them private, or build them together with the people who were there. And whenever you need it, pull a memory out at random and be back there for a minute. WHO WE ARE We're just two people with a couple of cats.

Never forget where you parked, what the plumber quoted, or what that meeting decided — EverDiary remembers it all for you. EverDiary is your personal memory vault. Capture moments as text, voice, or photos, and then simply ask questions in plain language — and get instant, accurate answers pulled from your own life. RECORD THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER Record meetings, classes, and long calls. EverDiary transcribes and remembers everything, so weeks later you can ask: "What did we decide about the follow-up?" No more forgetting half the conversation on the drive home. RECEIPTS, WARRANTIES & DOCUMENTS — SEARCHABLE Snap receipts, warranties, insurance cards, tickets and manuals. The AI reads them for you — title, amount, expiry — then just ask: "How much was the TV?" or "When does my car insurance expire?" An "Expiring soon" list and optional reminders make sure nothing lapses unnoticed. FIND MY STUFF — NEVER LOSE ANYTHING AGAIN Save where things live: "Passport — grey fireproof box, top closet shelf." Months later, ask "Where is my passport?" and get the exact spot. Shared with your family, so everyone can find the tape measure. YOUR TRIPS, REMEMBERED BEAUTIFULLY Travel memories are automatically grouped into Trips — every photo, note, and place from your weekend in the mountains or that summer in Italy, organized on a map with its own timeline. Ask "What did we do in Rome?" and relive the whole trip. SEE YOUR YEAR AT A GLANCE — MEMORY HEATMAP A beautiful heatmap shows every day you captured something — your whole year in one view. Spot your busiest weeks, tap any day to jump straight to its memories, and watch your streaks grow. YOUR PHOTOS, ONE SMART GALLERY Every photo you capture lands in a clean, fast gallery — organized by time and place. Scroll your life visually, or jump from any photo straight to the full memory behind it. FORWARD EMAILS, ASK LATER Got a quote from the AC repair company or the plumber? Forward the email to your private EverDiary address. Months later ask: "Who fixed my air conditioner and what did they charge?" — name, number, and price, instantly. NEVER LOSE YOUR CAR AGAIN — BUILT-IN MAPS One tap saves your parking spot — at the restaurant, the concert, the airport. A built-in map shows exactly where you parked, with walking directions, distance, and your own note ("Level 2, near the elevator"). A PRIVATE MEMORY VAULT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Create your family circle and invite up to 6 members with a private link. Everyone's moments flow into one Family Timeline — you choose per memory whether to share it or keep it private. Then ask the AI as a family: "What did we all do this month?" Everything stays strictly inside your family — nothing is ever public. ASK YOUR LIFE ANYTHING • Natural-language Q&A over everything you've captured, with streaming AI answers • Ask by voice, get spoken answers back • "What did I do today?" answered from your actual day • "Remind me next time I'm at Costco" — location-based reminders that just work MORE MEMORY MAGIC • Time Capsules — seal a memory until a future date, or address it to a family member • Month in Review — a beautiful, shareable AI recap of your month or year • Every memory tagged with place and the weather that day • Weekly email digest of your best moments • Spending view — receipts add up into monthly totals by business PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your memories are encrypted with per-user keys • We never sell your data — no ads, ever • Location data never leaves your account • Delete individual memories or your entire account anytime, in-app Start free, or go Premium for unlimited capture, smarter AI answers, and family sharing.
