What survives

Saving the memories you don’t notice.

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

01
The mic hears
Speech is separated into named voices and unnamed ambience.
Alex, Sarah, You
02
The phone knows where
Place and motion state, so a commute reads differently from a desk.
Office — City Center, Amsterdam
03
The gallery matches
Anything shot inside that window is pulled in automatically.

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

01 It opens with an invitation
Not a search field. A sentence asking what you are trying to remember.
02 You ask in plain words
“Someone I haven't seen in a while” — a feeling, not a filter.
03 It answers in plain words
“You haven't crossed paths in a while. There are a few moments here you might want to return to.”
04 Then it hands back the moments
Results arrive as photographs you swipe, not a list of results.

The decision nobody expects

A recorder thatforgets 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.
