NeighborLog vs Trace by Aura

Observe. Document. Let the pattern speak. When a noisy neighbor, a misplaced fence, or a barking dog has disrupted life for months, words alone may not move a landlord, mediator, or small-claims judge. Time-stamped documentation can. NeighborLog is a private evidence journal for that work. Log an incident with its time, type, severity, observations, and impact. Measure noise in decibels without buying a meter. Preserve photo timestamps and GPS coordinates. Track complaints and outcomes. Then surface the pattern: "34 incidents over six months, 86 percent on Friday and Saturday nights." This is not a reporting app. It does not contact your neighbor, the city, or anyone else. It is a private notebook that organizes facts so they hold up later. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE - No account. No login. No cloud upload. - All data stored locally using SwiftData. - We have no servers. We never see your dispute. - The noise meter reads decibel levels only. No audio is recorded or stored - so you stay clear of two-party-consent recording laws. WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR FREE - 1 neighbor / 1 dispute, up to 10 incidents - 1 GPS-tagged photo per incident - Up to 5 communications, 2 municipal complaints, 3 damage cost entries - Inline witness names on each incident - Basic incident-summary PDF + Markdown timeline export - Face ID / Touch ID app lock - your data stays private at no charge - Optional daily documentation reminder - enabled only when you choose - Home screen widget (incident count + days since last) - Quick Start PDF manual + rights guide UPGRADE TO PRO TO UNLOCK - Built-in decibel meter - measure noise without external hardware. No audio recorded. - Pattern analysis with Swift Charts - day-of-week, hour-of-day, frequency, escalation. - Full evidence package PDF + CSV export for mediation, attorney, or small claims court. - Unlimited neighbors and incidents - no 10-incident cap. - Multiple GPS-tagged photos per incident - free is capped at 1 per incident. - Unlimited communications - free is capped at 5 per dispute. - Unlimited municipal complaint entries - free is capped at 2 per dispute. - Unlimited damage cost entries - free is capped at 3 per dispute. - Full witness directory with willingness-to-testify status and cross-incident links. WHO THIS IS FOR - Homeowners with a chronic noise, boundary, fence, tree, or drainage dispute. - Renters whose landlord has ignored repeated complaints about the unit upstairs. - Owners preparing for mediation, code enforcement, or small claims court. - Anyone whose lawyer said "document everything before we file." WHO THIS IS NOT FOR - People wanting a way to confront, contact, or shame their neighbor. - People wanting AI to interpret their dispute or recommend legal action. - People wanting their log synced to a community moderator or city portal. NeighborLog is a personal documentation tool. It does not provide legal advice, file complaints, communicate with neighbors, or guarantee any court or mediator will accept its output. The decibel meter is not laboratory-calibrated; readings are for relative comparison only.

People don't forget information. They forget why it mattered. You save things all day. A reel, a link, a screenshot, a thought you did not want to lose. Weeks later you find them again and they mean nothing, because the reason you saved them is gone. Trace keeps the reason. SAVE IT, AND SAY WHY Share a reel, a link, a photo or a note into Trace, or capture a thought directly. Trace asks one short question: why does this matter? Your answer, in your own words, is the thing Trace protects. Skip the question and Trace says so plainly rather than inventing a reason on your behalf. IT SORTS ITSELF Trace reads what you saved on your device and files it. There are no folders to build and no tags to maintain. When it is unsure where something belongs it shows you its guess and lets you correct it in one tap. IT COMES BACK ON ITS OWN Trace watches for the moment a saved thing becomes useful again and brings it forward. When you wrote a reason, it shows you your sentence rather than a summary of it. When Trace is not sure, it stays quiet. Under uncertainty the correct behavior is silence, and Trace is built to prefer it. You choose how often it may interrupt and which hours stay quiet. Any memory can be silenced: it stays in your vault and stays searchable, it just stops arriving unasked. ASK YOUR VAULT Search by meaning rather than exact words. When Apple Intelligence is available on your device, Trace phrases what it found in its own words. When it is not, Trace searches with its built in engine and tells you so, instead of quietly getting worse. ON IPHONE AND IPAD Start on iPhone and continue on iPad. Trace hands off the memory you are reading, and on iPad it opens into a sidebar and split view, with Apple Pencil Scribble in the fields you write into. FROM YOUR APPLE WATCH Catch a thought on your wrist the moment you have one. Speak it and file it into a collection, or hum a tune and keep the raw audio, not a transcription of it. It reaches your vault through your private iCloud, and a voice memo plays back here and on your Mac, where you can save the file out. PRIVACY, WRITTEN AS A CONTRACT There is no Trace account and no Trace server. There is nothing to sign up for. Trace collects nothing about you, sells nothing, and carries no ads and no third party trackers. Reading and understanding happen on your device, using Apple's on-device intelligence. iCloud Sync is on by default, so a lost or replaced iPhone does not lose your vault. Your memories are kept in your own private iCloud, where they also appear on your other Apple devices. It is your iCloud account, not a Trace server, and Trace cannot read it. Apple manages the keys, so turn on Advanced Data Protection for the strongest protection. You can turn it off in Connections, and new memories then stay only on this iPhone. Link previews are off until you switch them on. When they are on, Trace fetches the public preview a page already publishes about itself, from a fixed list of sites. It sends the link and nothing else. Your notes and your vault are never part of that request. Privacy is not only about where something is kept. It is about where it shows up. A Lock Screen, a widget, a wrist someone else can see and a television in a shared room are not the same kind of place, and Trace treats each one as a decision rather than a default. You can mark a memory to appear only inside Trace, and it will stay off all of them. Export everything or delete everything, whenever you like. Deleting a memory also removes what Trace read from it, any transcript, and what it learned about its meaning. WHERE TRACE SHOWS UP Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, StandBy, a Control Center capture button, Live Activities, Siri and Shortcuts, Spotlight, and a share sheet action from the apps you already save from. Trace is not trying to hold your attention. It is trying to give you back the reason you saved something, on the day you need it.
