Memories

Save memories to reflect on later, whether for yourself or to share with others.

Monthly Focus

We care about your well-being, so take time to focus on other things between posts. Later, you can look back and see what mattered most at each key moment in your life.

Giving Time Back

People spend 2 hours and 23 minutes a day on social media. By posting just once a month, we help you reclaim 70 hours each month to spend in real life.

Healthy Reminders

When you're tempted to post before it's time, we'll give gentle reminders to help you break the instant-posting habit and focus on real-life moments instead of social media.

Nostalgia Boosts Well-Being

Reflecting on positive memories long after they’ve occurred releases dopamine, reinforcing feelings of happiness and self-worth. Research by the University of Southampton shows that nostalgia, which is often triggered by revisiting old memories, can boost mood and increase feelings of social connectedness. The process of remembering these moments becomes a source of joy—one that feels more rewarding over time.

Mindfulness and Lasting Happiness

Immediate sharing of life moments may provide a quick dopamine rush, but it’s fleeting. Studies from Harvard University suggest that engaging in mindfulness practices—which includes reflecting on memories after the fact—can contribute to long-term happiness. By disconnecting from the instant gratification of likes and comments, you open the door for deeper, more meaningful moments of joy.
