Events

Keep a moment, past or present

Give a memory a title and a date, then add the story around it. Learn how to record old memories, add details and edit an entry.

Add an event or a past memory → Timeline

See the days and the decades

Move through your life and zoom between individual days and the bigger picture. Get to know navigation, search and filters.

Explore your timeline → People

Remember who was there

Add people to your events and browse the memories connected to them. A person is a label in your diary; adding one does not share your entries.

Add people to your memories → Intervals

Put memories in their life chapters

Mark the years at school, a job or a place you lived. Intervals gather events by date and can overlap, just like the chapters of your life.

Group trips, family days or projects with labels you choose. Find out how to tag an event, organize older entries and browse a theme.
