Some moments are too personal to share—but too precious to lose. TinyTrove keeps your memories in a clean timeline of photos, videos, and notes, stored on your device. You can lock the app, and it automatically shields your content when you leave—then asks you to confirm again when you come back, so others can’t casually peek. Most importantly, your data is meant to stay with you. When you switch phones or reinstall, you still have a way to restore what matters. And if you want, you can back up to storage you control (like a NAS or a WebDAV drive), instead of handing everything to a platform. This update focuses on faster look-back, better follow-up, and smoother device migration: Home now supports full month jumps, shot-time order is aligned across Home/publish/edit, post detail supports clearer follow-up comments, and text-only post metadata sync is now more complete. We also unified in-app feedback and bilingual copy tone across key flows for a clearer, more consistent experience. Your private album. Your personal diary. Your story. Subscriptions: TinyTrove may offer optional auto-renewable subscriptions; duration and pricing are shown in-app before purchase, and subscriptions renew until canceled in Account Settings.
