Heirloom vs MeBeMe

Heirloom is a quiet way to record what mattered, keep it close, and pass it on. A book that lives on your phone: entries you record by voice, type by hand, or attach to a photo. They organize themselves on a year-by-year timeline, in a typography that feels like a real book, not a feed. Recording is unlimited and free. Create a Family Book with the people who share your history. Invite relatives, approve members, and collect stories, recordings, and photos in one private shared book. Members can report an entry, remove their own contributions, or leave at any time; the keeper can moderate entries and close the book. When you're ready, give the whole book, or a single memory, to someone you love. They get a private link in a real email. If they install Heirloom, the memory opens inside their own Shelf, attributed to you. If not, it opens in a clean web page. Their inbox, their pace. Set a delivery date, and Heirloom holds the memory until then. A letter for a graduation. A book for a 70th birthday. A note that arrives next December. Apple Digital Legacy is built into Heirloom's "When I am gone" walk-through, a guided way to make sure the right person gets the book if you're no longer here. It generates a printable instruction sheet explaining who you are, what they'll find, and how Apple's legacy contact flow works. It's free. WHAT'S FREE, ALWAYS • Unlimited recording by text, voice, and photo • Optional sync with your own iCloud account • Your private book on your phone • Receiving books and memories others send to you • Family Books • The "When I am gone" walk-through and printable letter MEMBERSHIP UNLOCKS GIVING • Send any memory or your whole book by email • Schedule delivery for a future date • Withdraw anything you've sent, any time • No ads and no data resale PRIVACY Your private book lives on your device and, if you enable it, in your own iCloud. When you choose to send a memory or book, that share is stored on our Cloudflare infrastructure until it expires or you withdraw it. Family Book entries are stored there so approved members can access the shared book. In the optional Guided Session, answer text is sent through our service to Anthropic to generate one follow-up question; it is not used to train models. Audio leaves your device only when you choose to share that memory. We don't sell your data. Built by a two-person team in Tel Aviv for our parents, and ourselves.

MeBeMe interrupts your scrolling with one small opportunity to be the person you want to be. Choose the identities that matter to you—Reader, Athlete, Founder, Better Friend, Homekeeper, Lifelong Learner, and more. Draw a tiny mission card and do one small thing that expresses that identity. Every completed mission is one small vote for the person you're becoming. This app reminds you to be who you are. It also helps you step toward who you want to become. No streaks. No guilt. Just one small thing. Designed to be 100% free, forever. No subscriptions. No Pro plan. No pressure. No upsells. No memberships. No paywall. No credit card. Just one small thing that helps you become more like the person you want to be. BREAK YOUR SCROLL Most apps interrupt your day to pull you back in. MeBeMe does the opposite. Choose the apps you reach for out of habit, and MeBeMe holds them back until you've done one small thing: read two pages, do four push-ups, send one thoughtful message. Then they open for as long as you choose, from an hour to the rest of the day. "Open anyway" is always there, so nothing locks you out. It's off until you turn it on. (iPhone only.) MeBeMe can also send optional notifications. Instead of another ping asking you to check your phone, you get a tiny invitation to do something actually worth doing. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose your identities. 2. Swipe between them. 3. Draw a random mission card. Most missions take between 10 seconds and 2 minutes, making them easy to do right now instead of "someday." * Complete one small action. * Repeat whenever it feels right. EXAMPLE MISSIONS * Read at least 2 pages. * Do at least 4 push-ups. * Put away at least 7 things. * Walk outside for at least 60 seconds. * Learn one new word. * Send a thoughtful message. * Stretch for 30 seconds. * Save one memorable quote. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT This app isn't trying to make you more productive. It's trying to help you live more deliberately. No streaks. No badges. This isn't a game. It helps you cast small daily votes for the person you want to become. One card. One action. Then get on with your day. FEATURES * Identity-based mission cards * Hundreds of curated missions * Randomized draws for variety * Tiny actions you can do immediately * Break Your Scroll: hold back the apps you choose until you've done one small thing * Optional notifications * Works offline * No account required * Private by default * No ads * No subscriptions * Free forever PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your information stays on your device. No account is required. No advertising. Designed to respect your privacy from the start. OUR PHILOSOPHY Goals eventually end. Identity lasts. Don't focus on reading ten books. Become a reader. Don't focus on losing twenty pounds. Become someone who takes care of their body. Small actions, repeated over time, shape who we become. Draw a card. Do one small thing.
