Little Memory is a diary you can actually keep: write a few lines about your day, reflect, and get on with your life. No blank white page staring back at you. The short format is the point, because it makes the habit easy to build.

The payoff: what you wrote comes back to you, exactly one year later.

Apple has featured it three times: Staff Favorite, Dear Diary, and Apps for Writers. The whole product is mine, from product and design through the iOS app, the Rails backend, sync, and payments. Users have saved over 1 million entries, and the most dedicated have daily streaks over a decade long. A full rewrite is underway.

What users say

A daily time capsule, simple and elegant, a true pleasure to use.

– Jamie Wu, Apple iTunes Store engineer

Very clean and intuitive design. I’ve been using this for 8 months.

– James Tamplin, CEO of Firebase

It’s like diary haiku.

– App Store review by kilkwik

I’ve tried for years and years to keep a journal. I tried various apps and tried using txt files. This app is so simple I don’t “feel bad” writing a sentence or two and being done.

– App Store review by Dropkick

I’ve used this app nearly every day for over 10 years… This app is far better than the built-in Apple journal, far better than a traditional notebook.
