footnotes is a quiet notebook for the photographs, voices, passing thoughts, ideas, and ordinary moments that make up a life. you can: - capture the full texture of a moment: in words, photos, video, and voice, all together. - return to old notes, add new moments, and watch a timeline of your life slowly take shape. - make notebooks for different parts of your life, and - turn moments into little stories to share. slices of light sizzling on a wall. laughter of friends sloppy and gold. the loosey goosey fragments. all of which you look back on with tenderness, kept whole. footnotes makes space for the footnotes of a life. the little things that become the story of who you are.
