Mappamory is a private map for the people in your life. It helps you remember where friends are from, where they have lived, where you met, and the places you have shared together. Instead of keeping those details scattered across chats, contacts, photos, and memory, Mappamory gives them a place on a personal map. A friend’s hometown, a college campus, a city they used to live in, a dinner after years apart, or an unexpected reunion. Mappamory helps you save those moments intentionally, so the people you care about are connected not only by name, but by place. ● What You Can Save • Hometowns and places people are from Keep track of where someone grew up, where they were born, and the places that shaped their story. • Schools, campuses, and classmates Save college towns, campus memories, reunions, and the places tied to old friendships. • Work cities and life paths Remember where someone works, where they moved, and the places where your paths crossed. • Shared moments Record dinners, trips, visits, walks, conversations, reunions, and unexpected encounters. ● What Mappamory Includes • People and place records Create profiles for people, then connect them with meaningful places and memories. • Photos, notes, dates, phone numbers, and tags Add context so a place is more than just a pin on a map. • Contact import Choose people from your system contacts to quickly create profiles, then add places and details over time. • Map view See friend avatars, place markers, and memory clues on one map. • Search and filters Find a person, city, place, date, tag, or memory when you want to look back. • Local-first storage and backup Your records are stored on your device by default.
