About

Memoriola

Features
Read full description

A visual diary that becomes a film. Memoriola holds the moments of a place, a trip, or a season. Record or import what happened — each entry keeps its time and place. You can delete a moment. You can’t rearrange the diary. When you’re ready, your moments gather into one film in the order they happened. Choose a look, keep place and time on screen if you want them, and write captions when a moment needs a few words. No timeline. No rearranging. Time keeps the order. Bring in a clip from Photos if you need to. It is cropped to the project’s shape; you set what remains in the frame. Save the film to Photos. Share it if you wish. Everything stays on your device. Free to start: 1080p export. Memoriola Unlocked is a one-time purchase: 4K export.
