Peaches at the stand. Bought far too many.

Have it come to you at an hour you pick, or leave notifications off and find them waiting the next time you open the app.

Wandered the old market street with Maya. Scooters, steam, a hundred small kindnesses.

In their own words

Every time I read a memory from the past, two things happen. One: I remember a version of myself that doesn’t exist anymore. It gives me the opportunity to honor her feelings, her desires, and her struggles. Two: despite my insecurities… I remember what I HAVE done.
J.A., reader letter
I’ve been using it for five years from my move from the UK to Australia. The memories it holds are so special to me, and have seen me through the highs and lows of relocating, getting married, buying a house and having a baby!
S.B., reader letter
To have something recorded basically every day since I was 17 is such a gift. I look back on memories from years ago and surprise myself with how much I’ve grown.
