Tap to talk. Tap the new mic button in the Today prompt to start dictating an event. Tap again to stop, review the transcript, and Save — tags get extracted the same way they would for a typed entry.
On-device recognition. Your voice is transcribed on your phone, not sent to a server. It never leaves the device.
Version 7.0.3May 23, 2026
Notifications, in your morning
Notifications, in your morning. Drift Insight and off-tempo push notifications now arrive in your local morning, not at a fixed UTC hour where they could land overnight for users outside Europe. Settings shows the timezone they'll arrive in.
Polish and fixes. A small affordance now indicates which notifications are tappable, the Drift Insight cooldown between signals is fixed, the Week Concentration insight message reads correctly, and a stray insight notification bug is resolved.
Version 7.0.2May 17, 2026
Tap to reach out
Tap to reach out. Add a mobile number to a person's tag and tap it to send a text — no leaving the app, no fishing through Contacts. Importing contacts now brings phone numbers along.
Recurring, at a glance. A cleaner display of recurring items in the tag list and tag detail, plus a new “Is recurring” search shortcut to pull up everything on a schedule.
Polish and fixes. Snappier tag creation, fixed schedule truncation, restored avatars in the Notifications Center, per-tag insight muting working as intended, the entry button icon in tag detail, refreshed banner styles for the contact-import prompts, and a daily insight notification cap that's now three instead of one.
Version 7.0.1May 17, 2026
Show Up For Your People
Sharper search. Search results now show matching text from inside journal entries, not just event titles, and the Go Deeper workflow is fixed.
A warmer welcome. A refreshed first-run experience — a new tagline ("Show Up For Your People"), a prompt to import your contacts so the people in your life are ready to tag, a clearer example entry, and warmer empty-state avatars on new tags.
Polish and fixes. Tab labels now fade after a few launches as designed, Today button behavior is cleaner on the day, insight copy got a small pass, and a handful of smaller fixes across the app.
Version 6.9May 13, 2026
People at a glance
People at a glance. Timeline cards now show avatars of the people you've tagged, so you can spot who was there without opening a single card.
Near-instant Tag Library. Pulling to refresh your tags is now near-instant, with no more loading placeholders covering the screen.
Smarter future counts. Tags with an ongoing recurrence now show a “+” to indicate continuing future events; non-recurring upcoming events are counted exactly.
Fewer hangs, truer counts. Fixed an occasional freeze on tags with weekly recurring events on specific weekdays, and resolved a count mismatch where some events weren't being included in the totals.
Version 6.8May 12, 2026
Quieter, more thoughtful insights
Mute insights per tag. Exclude any tag from Drift Insights individually — useful when the pattern would be noise rather than signal.
Care for tags with a date of passing. Drift Insights now skip tags where you've recorded a date of passing, so an insight never lands at a moment that would be unkind.
Birthdays roll forward. Fixed an issue where a person's age this year wasn't advancing on the right day.
Smaller fixes. Polished copy on the Quiet Exit and a few other insight templates, a localization fix in the same area, a skeleton loader for tags on the journal entry screen, and a smoother mood-bar animation in timeline cards.
Version 6.7May 7, 2026
Mood, by day of week
A new Drift Insight. Mood by day of week — a quiet observation when a particular weekday consistently runs higher or lower than the rest. A Sunday lift, a Monday dip, the patterns that hide in plain sight.
Steadier under the hood. Reliability improvements and backend cost optimizations, continuing the work that started in 6.6.
Version 6.6May 5, 2026
Smoother loading, steadier notifications
A unified Timeline loader. Under the hood, the Timeline now runs through a single data loader — pages feel more consistent, and timeline cards got a small visual cleanup along the way.
Sharper Drift Insights. Fixed an issue where future events could slip into drift patterns, so what reaches you reflects what's actually happened.
Steadier notifications. Refined how notifications look and tuned how often they arrive. The automatic first-entry notification is gone, replaced by a gentle check-in if you haven't logged anything in five days.
Performance and reliability. A handful of behind-the-scenes fixes to keep memorist fast and dependable.
Version 6.5April 30, 2026
Meditation and breathwork, in one tap
Calm entries. A new entry type for logging meditation and breathwork sessions. Tap a Minutes chip and the session auto-commits — no number pad, no submit button, no streak counter.
One day, many sessions. A morning meditation and a midday breathwork reset live on the same Calm card, each on its own line.
Drift sees Calm. The Drift screen now includes a Calm card with totals, deltas, longest sessions, and a top-techniques panel.
Patterns over time. Drift Insights surface meditation and breathwork patterns as quiet observations — a Sunday-evening rhythm, a quiet constant, a stretch when a practice has gone quiet.
End-to-end encrypted. Sessions, techniques, and notes never leave your device readable. memorist can't see them.
Version 6.4April 21, 2026
Photos, front and center
Photo entries. A new kind of timeline item just for pictures — snap or pick a photo, add a note if you want, and drop it on your day. For the moments where the image is the point.
A refined Timeline. Cleaner layout, better spacing, and more room for the moments that matter.
What's new notifications. After each update, a quiet notification lands in your Notification Center so you can see what's new at your own pace — no popups, no push.
App Lock locks sooner. If you use App Lock, it now locks the moment you leave the app — quicker, safer, and easy to change in Settings.
Version 6.3April 19, 2026
A quieter, more polished memorist
Push notifications for all signed-in users. Previously reserved for subscribers, they're now available once you've signed in. Notice which routines are shifting and which relationships are quietly drifting.
Polish everywhere. Tighter spacing, refined card layouts, cleaner timestamps, and a shimmering Timeline skeleton — small details that add up.
A smoother first-time UX. The automatic first entry now lands on Today with a #first-time tag, and we've tuned when the app asks you to create an account or turn on notifications.
Version 6.2April 14, 2026
Sharper insights, smoother journaling
Sharper Drift Insights. They now run more often and look for more patterns — so what matters reaches you sooner.
Smoother journal entries. Opening, editing, and saving feels faster and more consistent, with cleaner transitions between compact and expanded views.
App Lock. Protect your timeline behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
Two new reflection prompts. "Missed connection" and "One clear thought" — quick, focused inputs for when you want to capture something specific.
A redesigned Customize sheet. Pick which journal inputs you see and reorder them, now one clear card per field.
A cleaner mood bar. The outline around journal mood is gone, replaced by a more readable mood bar.
Navigation polish. A more prominent, easier-to-spot Today button, full-width cards, a cleaner Calendar Feed, a persistent Add Event button, and an updated target bar.
Version 6.0April 12, 2026
Targets and a smarter Today
Target Count. A gentle nudge toward a consistent journaling rhythm — see how close you are each day.
A smarter Today button. Bigger, more visible, and now hidden when you're already looking at Today.
Bug fixes. A disappearing reorder button in the timeline, a flashing loading screen, and a flash when creating events — all resolved.
Version 5April 5, 2026
Deeper insights, a more customizable journal
Drift Insights expanded dramatically. Several new kinds of insights shipped across the series — including Open Loop Insights — along with reflection prompts, a wider off-tempo window, and a handful of reliability fixes.
Customizable journal inputs. Choose which inputs appear and in what order, with several new input types added.
A fuller notification system. Local notifications now cover first entries, mood tracking, imported contacts, and off-tempo moments — available in guest mode too.
New features and visual polish. Contact import, Send day journal, Day Journal auto-save, mood bar motion, a new app icon, and a better search all landed across the series.
Version 4March 14, 2026
Templates, Drift Insights, and Liquid Glass
Templates arrived. A re-architecture introduced custom templates — Body and Wine I Like were the first two — each with its own stats view and a new "surprise" highlight.
Drift Insights were born. The first version shipped mid-series, with notifications and enhancements following — the start of memorist noticing patterns in your entries before you do.
Liquid Glass UI. A visual refresh rolled across the app, with updated timeline colors, a refined brand teal, and a consistent look extending through tag details.
Photos, expanded. Photostream arrived as a global gallery, and panorama viewing joined the toolkit.
Roots and polish. Deep linking, emoji search, in-app FAQs, biometric-gated export, timeline and tags performance improvements, expanded localization (German, Japanese, Portuguese), and an accessibility-friendly font bump shipped across the series.
Version 3February 9, 2026
End-to-end encryption, stats, and a richer tag system
End-to-end encryption arrived. CryptoKit-based E2EE shipped across search, notifications, and the calendar feed, with a migration for existing data and hardened server rules — making your journal unreadable to anyone but you.
Stats, a new screen. A dedicated stats view launched with a "surprise me" card and longest-gap tracking, then got localization, skeleton loading, and steady refinements across the series.
Tags got smarter. Tag classification, an "unused" badge, a refined delete workflow, segmentation sort, person tag profile photos and names, a tag-list photo, and a photo cropper made tagging feel like a first-class part of the app.
A proper tier structure. Guest, Free, and subscription tiers arrived together, with a benefits-forward subscription screen, Push Notifications and Daily Reminders for subscribers, and an updated Notifications Center.
New features and polish. Export backup, contact import, a share flow, timezone support, iPad layout fixes, long-press-to-edit, skeleton shimmer, independent past/future search, and search shortcuts for photos and strikethrough rounded out the series.
Version 2January 6, 2026
Tempo grows up, Timeline gets smooth
A smoother Timeline. Scrolling and loading got much faster, creating and editing entries feels instant, long-press menus landed on timeline cards, and you can pin a card open.
Tempo, expanded. Tempo — previously just for people — now works for places and things too. The tempo slider got a fresher UI with a clear "No tempo" option, and tags with upcoming events show a small green dot.
Calendar Feed. A new feed that adds your memorist schedule to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or any feed-capable calendar app.
Fixes and polish. Off-tempo notifications, case-insensitive search, a shortcut for starting an event already tagged with a person, entry character limits, an analytics opt-out, haptic feedback, and dozens of small fixes across the series.
Version 1December 8, 2025
Guest mode, and a smarter journal
Guest mode. Start journaling right away — open memorist and write without having to create an account first.
Smarter search and mood. A new search workflow landed, mood labels became searchable, and you can now log a mood-only day entry when writing isn't what the moment calls for.
Polish across the app. Account deletion, a refreshed tag detail screen for people, places, and things, recency banners on place and thing tags, better handling of hyphenated phrases in tags, faster timeline and photo loading, and language that follows your device settings.
