Memolinx is a new kind of memory app — capture your photos and videos, organize them by place, time, and the people you were with, and relive them on a living map and timeline. Keep memories private, share them with the people who were there, or make them public. Capture a moment the instant it happens and Memolinx tags it with where and when it took place, then drops it onto a beautiful map and timeline you can revisit any time. Instead of losing your best moments in an endless camera roll, you relive them by place and by date — and share the ones you want with the people who were there. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Create memories with photos, videos, and notes — keep them private, share with followers, or make them public • See everywhere you've been on an interactive map, and scroll a timeline that ties places, dates, and events together • Group related moments into events and trips — a whole journey told as one story • Follow friends and family, react with likes and comments, and share memories publicly or with just the people you choose • Message the people you share moments with — chats are automatically enriched with the relevant memories and events you're discussing • Search Memolinx, a built-in AI for your memories: ask by voice or text about where you've been, when something happened, or what you did — across your private, shared, and public memories Memolinx brings your memories, your people, and an AI that truly understands your history into one place. Whether it's a trip, a celebration, or an ordinary day worth keeping, it helps you remember not just what happened — but where, when, and with whom.
