What survives

Saving the memories you don’t notice.

  • A pile of old photographs
    Birthdays
  • Children drawing in the sand
    Holidays
  • Lying among scattered polaroids
    Weddings
  • Flowers in afternoon light
    Anniversaries

Four occasions worth reaching for a camera. Between them, a thousand ordinary days nobody photographs — and those are the year.

Onboarding ends
with a memory

Twelve screens. The last one records your first memory before you ever reach the app. Hover to pause and enlarge.

A year later,
the memories
start pouring in

Not a folder of files. A story, with the day’s own words still on it.

The mechanism

How a memory
gets made

  1. 01

    The mic hears

    Speech is separated into named voices and unnamed ambience.

    Alex, Sarah, You
  2. 02

    The phone knows where

    Place and motion state, so a commute reads differently from a desk.

    Office — City Center, Amsterdam
  3. 03

    The gallery matches

    Anything shot inside that window is pulled in automatically.

    3 photos, 11:04–11:52

Model writes the memory

  • Place
  • A heading it wrote
A finished memory card: Weekly Standup at the office, with voices and action items
  • Who was speaking
  • What mattered, extracted

Repeated for every hour of the day

Morning Commute: ambient sound only, no conversations detected
Ambience only — nobody named
Don’t let today fade: unsaved timelines expire after 48 hours
And it expires unless kept

Meet Julienne

A memory you have lost the date of is not a search problem. Julienne takes the question the way you’d actually ask it, and returns the days themselves.

“Share what’s on your mind, a feeling you miss, or a moment you’re trying to remember. I will gently bring pieces of your past back into view, exactly as they were.”

Julienne, on opening
  • Someone I haven't seen in a while
  • Last Spring
  • This time last year
  • A place I loved
  • An ordinary day
  • My most active day yet
  1. It opens with an invitation

    01It opens with an invitation

    Not a search field. A sentence asking what you are trying to remember.

  2. You ask in plain words

    02You ask in plain words

    “Someone I haven't seen in a while” — a feeling, not a filter.

  3. It answers in plain words

    03It answers in plain words

    “You haven't crossed paths in a while. There are a few moments here you might want to return to.”

  4. Then it hands back the moments

    04Then it hands back the moments

    Results arrive as photographs you swipe, not a list of results.

The decision nobody expects

A recorder that
forgets by default.

An unsaved timeline expires after 48 hours. The device captures the whole day, and unless the user says keep this, it goes. Nothing accumulates quietly in the background.

It is the cleanest answer MNE has to the question every always-on device gets asked. Deciding what to keep is also the thing that brings someone back daily — which is why the saved count and the streak sit on the profile, not the storage screen.
