There's a lot you carry around that you never say out loud. Marrow is the place to say it. Marrow is a private AI companion that builds a genuine memory of who you are β€” your patterns, your relationships, your emotions, what you're working through. Not just today's conversation. All of it, over time. A COMPANION WITH REAL MEMORY Most AI forgets you the moment you close the app. Marrow doesn't. Every conversation deepens what it knows about you. Come back days later and pick up exactly where you left off β€” Marrow already knows the context. FIVE COMPANION STYLES β€” SWITCH ANY TIME Choose the kind of support you need right now: Marrow β€” warm, attentive, genuinely curious about you Counsellor β€” reflective, emotionally attuned, holds space without judgement Mentor β€” helps you think it through, then move on what matters Your Journal β€” ultra-brief, just validates; holds what you need to get out Philosopher β€” curious and deep, engages with ideas on their own terms Your memory is shared across all styles. Switch freely. TALK, TYPE, OR CALL Send a voice note. Type a message. Or start a Live call and speak naturally β€” Marrow listens and responds in real time, with full voice, like a phone call. Your companion remembers every exchange however it arrives. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Marrow runs on a paid-tier AI service that contractually does not train on your data. Your conversations are stored only on our servers and are fully deletable β€” permanently, at any time, in one tap. AVAILABLE IN 7 LANGUAGES English Β· Deutsch Β· EspaΓ±ol Β· FranΓ§ais Β· Italiano Β· Nederlands Β· PortuguΓͺs Marrow offers a 7-day free trial. Chat plan: $5.99/month or $59.99/year. Live plan (includes real-time voice calls): $12.99/month or $119.99/year. Prices are shown in USD; your local price appears in the App Store.

What is there to say about a countdown app? It counts down. You add the things you can't wait for. Countdown tells you how long is left, in years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds, ticking live on a card you'll actually want to look at. And when the day has come and gone, it keeps counting, so "the day we moved in" becomes "2 years, 3 months and 14 days ago". Memories with a running clock. THE SLIDER Drag it to measure how anxious you are. 2 months? Fine. 9 weeks? Getting real. 1,616 hours? Go pack. THE SMALL THINGS, DONE WITH CARE β€’ Birthdays that come back: mark an event as yearly and it rolls forward on its own, telling you which time it is β€’ Photos, because the home screen deserves it: a picture turns every card into a little poster β€’ Eight quiet colours, one for every mood β€’ Widgets for the home screen and the lock screen: the next event, always in sight β€’ Reminders on the day, one day before, one week before β€’ Past events count up, with totals in days, weeks, hours and minutes β€’ English and Portuguese, following your phone FREE iCLOUD SYNC iPhone and iPad, always the same list. No account, no server, nothing to sign up for. YOUR DATA IS YOUR DATA Everything lives on your phone and in your own iCloud. Nothing is collected, tracked or sent anywhere. And you can always take it with you: export a CSV with all your events, keep it in Files or Drive, import it back on any device. Changed your Apple ID? Lost a phone? Moving to another app? The file is a plain spreadsheet, so even if you leave, you still know when everything happened. FREE FOR TEN EVENTS Ten events cover most of life's waiting. Need more? Countdown Unlimited is a single purchase, not a subscription, and it follows your Apple ID to every device. Widgets, reminders, sync and backup are free for everyone. Made by one person.
