Add the moments that matter: a first day at school, a wedding, a trip, the day a child was born. Each moment holds a title, a date or date range, a place, a few words, and up to four photos. Your moments line up automatically on a beautiful timeline, grouped by decade, so your story reads from the beginning. • Timeline — every moment in order, by decade • Categories — organise moments into the chapters of your life • Family tree — add parents, partners, children and more, and see how everyone connects • Search — find any moment by meaning, not just keywords (on supported devices) • Ask Siri — get a quick answer about your story, or find a moment, right from Siri and Spotlight search (on supported devices) • Present — turn any part of your story into a full-screen slideshow, with music and transitions • Storybook — export your whole story as a printable PDF keepsake • Share cards — turn a moment into a beautiful card for Messages, Instagram, or anywhere Private by design. Your story lives on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud — we don't run servers that store your memories, and we can't read them. Siri and Spotlight access is off by default (but you can turn it on under Settings) and entirely on-device — you choose what's searchable, and anything marked Private is never included. Free to start. Capture your first moments and build your family tree at no cost. Unlock Premium once to remove the limits: unlimited moments, an unlimited family tree, and up to four photos per moment.

Turn your morning shower into a game you actually want to win. The Shower Challenge helps you take shorter showers without it ever feeling like a chore. Pick a challenge, step in, and race the clock — then watch your streak grow and your water use shrink, one morning at a time. HOW IT WORKS Choose how you want to play today, start the timer when the water goes on, and stop it when you're done. That's it. Every shower becomes a small, satisfying win. CHALLENGE MODES Time It — Set a time goal and beat it. Perfect for building the habit at your own pace. One Song — Play a track and finish before it ends. Your shower, your soundtrack, your deadline. Navy Style — Ultra-quick, hard mode. Water on, rinse, water off — for when you want to go pro. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Track every shower with clean, friendly charts. Watch your day-streak climb, see how your times trend over the weeks, unlock milestones, and get a running tally of how much faster you've become since week one. Small changes add up fast — and the app makes them impossible to miss. WHY SHORTER SHOWERS? The average shower sends gallons of clean water down the drain. Trimming even a couple of minutes a day saves water, saves energy, and lowers your bill — and it feels great. The Shower Challenge makes that good habit playful instead of preachy. DESIGNED TO DELIGHT Beautiful, distraction-free design that looks great in light and dark mode Smooth, encouraging animations — never nagging Accessible with Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support Private by design: your shower data stays on your device Ready to save water, together? Take your first challenge tomorrow morning.
