A place is a fact. What happened there is a memory. MomentMap is built for the memory. TWO WAYS TO HOLD A MEMORY Every memory has a where and a when. MomentMap keeps both equally close. Space-first: the Map shows your memories by where they happened. Time-first: the Calendar shows your memories by when they happened, as a day-by-day journal. Neither view is secondary. Some moments you remember by place. Others you remember by date. MomentMap lets you find them the way you remember them. ONE PLACE, MANY MOMENTS The same coffee shop, three visits over two years, are three different moments — not one entry that gets overwritten. Each visit keeps its own photos, feeling, note, and time. Open a place and you don't just see where it is. You see the moments that made it yours. ONE DAY, MANY MOMENTS Tap a day on the Calendar to see that day as it happened. See everywhere you went, in order — a map with every stop pinned, followed by a card for each moment with its place, time, photos, feeling, and note. It's a journal organized not just by what happened, but by where and when it happened. A FEELING, NOT A SCORE MomentMap never asks, "How many stars?" Instead, each moment can have its own feeling. The same restaurant can be unforgettable one night and ordinary the next. A single rating can't hold both. Your memories can. SAVE PLACES. KEEP MOMENTS. Not every place needs to be a memory yet. Save somewhere you want to go. Share a place from Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Yelp, type a name, or let your photos suggest it. Organize places into Collections that make sense to you. When you go, that place can become something more: a moment with its own time, photos, feeling, and note. Saving places is the infrastructure. Remembering what happened there is the point. EASY TO SHARE, PERSONAL BY DEFAULT Send a place or a whole Collection to another MomentMap user without giving away the memories attached to it. Your memories stay yours. Sharing a place shares the place — not the personal moments, photos, feelings, or notes that made it meaningful to you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your places and memories sync across your own devices with iCloud. No account. No login. No feed. Nothing you save is visible to anyone unless you explicitly share it. MomentMap isn't about finding more places. It's about remembering the moments that made them matter.
