CoreMemories vs Ember Legacy

CoreMemories is for anyone who's ever spent 20 minutes searching for a video or photo they know they have, and for those that have ever wished they'd recorded a story before it was too late. Your camera roll stores everything. Your best images and videos are buried alongside screenshots, blurry duplicates, and pictures of food. CoreMemories is where you keep the memories that matter. You start with the photos and videos — the moments you can see — and then you attach a voice recording that tells the story behind them. Why you went to that restaurant...what your baby girl was actually trying to say in that video...the history behind a family keepsake that only one person in your family knows. Bring your photos and videos to life with context, captured with a loved one's own voice — not just a caption, but the actual story. It's a curated memory vault — built for the person capturing moments today, and the people who'll treasure them decades from now.

The smartphone solved capture. It never solved why we capture. We have thousands of photos and almost no idea what to do with them. The moments that actually matter, your dad's laugh, the story behind the recipe, the way your kid says a word wrong, get buried in a camera roll or lost in a feed built for strangers. Ember is for those. Record a video, a voice note, a photo, or a few written words. Send it now, schedule it for a birthday, or save it for a moment that hasn't arrived yet. Your daughter's first day of school. A graduation. A wedding morning. You decide who it reaches, when, and how. CAPTURE Video, voice, photo, or letter, whatever the moment calls for. No time limit, no streaks, no pressure to perform. You decide when it's done. DELIVER Send immediately, schedule for a date, or set it to arrive on a milestone you choose. Each ember reaches its person by email, text, or notification, through a private link. One ember can reach one person or a whole family. RECEIVE No app, no account, no friction. Your people open a quiet, personal page, watch or read or listen, and keep it if they want to. The way it should feel to receive something that matters. MEMORY GARDEN Everything you've made, in one calm, searchable place. By person, by date, by kind. Yours, always. SPARK The best memories often live in someone else's head. Ask for one, "tell me your favorite memory of Grandpa", and they answer from their own phone, no app required. The story comes to you. STORYHOLDERS The people you send to aren't "contacts." In Ember they're Storyholders, the ones who carry these moments forward. Keep their profiles, group them, see everything you've shared with each. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No feed. No algorithm. No ads. Your embers are visible only to you and the people you choose. Full data export and account deletion, on your terms, anytime. BUILT WITH CARE Soft light, gentle motion, full dark mode, and screen-reader support throughout. An app that feels like it was made by people who care, because it was. FEATURES AT A GLANCE - Four capture modes: video, audio, photo, and upload/written - Scheduled and immediate delivery via email, SMS, or push notification - Memory Garden with search, filter, and date range browsing - Spark: request memories from friends and family (no app required) - Storyholders: organize recipients with profiles and groups - Contact import from your phone's address book - Deep link sharing.
