Lumiary is a private moments box for the little joys of everyday life. A sunset, time with a friend, a passing thought: each is worth keeping. Capture them with photos, words, or both, just for you to revisit at your own pace. Take a photo when something catches your eye, or write a few words when a thought comes to mind. Save photos on their own, write without a photo, or add moments from your photo library later. There is no need to write at length or keep a daily streak. Gather a little of life, at your own pace. Make looking back a pleasure. Browse photos like an album, relive a trip on a film strip, enjoy snapshots as scattered photo prints, or read short thoughts on little paper notes. Preview with your own moments, then choose a look you love. Random memories and on-this-day moments help you rediscover little joys from the past. Something you saved on an ordinary day can bring a smile all over again. Save Live Photos from your library with their motion and sound, too. When you look back, see that smile again and hear the sounds of the moment. Find a chapter of your life by month or tags, or browse months and years in the record overview. Each moment can include 1–9 photos. Add a feeling, tags, or a place to keep the story beyond the picture. You can also save photos from your moments to your photo library or share them with family and friends. No sign-up, and your moments stay private. Turn on App Lock for added privacy. You can sync moments to your own iCloud account and export a complete backup. The photos and text in your backup can also be viewed outside Lumiary, making it easy to keep a copy for yourself. Start with a photo or a few words today. Keep the small bright parts of life for yourself.
