Remember Less. Understand More. ProustMe is the first platform designed to transform human experiences into lasting understanding. Not social media. Not journaling. Not therapy. Something entirely new. For decades we've documented our lives. Photos. Videos. Posts. Messages. But documenting isn't understanding. Most of our lives remain scattered across thousands of moments that never become a story. ProustMe changes that. Powered by Proustian AI Instead of asking: "What's on your mind?" ProustMe asks better questions. Questions that uncover: • identity • purpose • values • resilience • growth Every reflection becomes part of a structured understanding of your life. More Than an AI Chat Proustian AI doesn't simply generate answers. It learns your narrative. Recognizes patterns across time. Connects experiences. Preserves meaning. Helping you understand not just what happened— but who you're becoming. Your Story Has Value Every life contains knowledge. Until now, that knowledge disappeared. ProustMe creates a living archive that grows richer over time. A place where memories become insight. Experiences become understanding. And stories become legacy. What You Can Do • Capture meaningful moments • Reflect through guided conversations • Build your personal narrative • Discover patterns across your life • Revisit memories with new perspective • Preserve your story for future generations Built for the Future The internet organized information. Social media organized attention. ProustMe organizes human experience. We're building the Human Experience Graph—the foundation for a new generation of AI centered on people, not content. The Internet of Us. You've shared your life. Now understand it. Download ProustMe.

About

Values Card Sort

Read full description

Values Card Sort is a free app for working out which values matter most to you right now. It uses the 83 values of the Personal Values Card Sort by W. R. Miller, J. C’de Baca, D. B. Matthews, and P. L. Wilbourne, University of New Mexico, 2001, which is in the public domain. The cards include values like Honesty, Family, Adventure, and Health. You see one card at a time and put it in a pile, Very Important, Important, or Not Important. Then you look over your piles and move anything that landed in the wrong place. If more than ten cards end up Very Important, you narrow them to ten first. From there you choose five, put them in order, and write a little about each one, what living it looks like for you now and one small step you could take this week. Each finished sort is saved on your device. Your top five shows on the home screen, and when you sort again, the app shows which values are still in your five, which are new, and which dropped out. It doesn’t score the change or tell you what it means. You can share any sort as a PDF or copy it as text. You can do it on your own before a big decision, at the start of a new year, or whenever you want to see where your priorities sit. Parents, teachers, counselors, and clinicians can also use it with the people they work with. There’s a second deck for younger people. The youth deck uses 48 values from Values Card Sort for Kids by Aria E. Fiat, PhD, adapted and used with her permission. It’s meant for an adult to go through with a child or teen, with the adult running the app. Its cards are in English in both languages. Also in the app: - Add a value of your own if the deck is missing one - Short Learn pages on what values are and how to use the five you choose - An optional reminder a week after a sort to look back at your five - A link to print the cards if you’d rather sort them on a table - English and Spanish, with a language switch in Settings - Dark Mode and support for larger text No account or ads. Your sorts stay on your device unless you turn on iCloud sync, and Delete everything in Settings clears them whenever you like. You can lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. Values Card Sort is for education and personal reflection. It is not therapy or medical care, and it is not for emergencies. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. For medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, talk with a healthcare professional. In an emergency, call 911. If you are in crisis in the United States, call or text 988.
