Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about memorian’s journal.

What is memorian’s journal?
memorian’s journal is an app for capturing “this moment” in a few words. Your memos are grouped by the hour so you can look back on how a day unfolded. There is no pressure and no reminders — just a friction-free way to leave a trace of the present.
Can I record a memo for a past time?
No. The app is built around capturing the current moment, so you can only record for the time it is now — you cannot backdate an entry or change its timestamp. You can still edit the text of an older memo; only its time is fixed.
Are there reminders or push notifications?
No, and that is by design. memorian never nudges you. It is there when you want to jot something down and stays quiet otherwise.
Where are my memos stored? Do you collect them?
Your memos are stored only on your device and are never sent to our servers. The only exceptions are voice input and the contact form, which are explained in our Privacy Policy.
How does voice input work?
Voice memos use your device’s built-in speech recognition (Apple on iOS, Google on Android) to turn speech into text. The audio itself is not stored by the app — only the resulting text is saved on your device.
Is there a home screen widget?
Yes. Quick-action widgets for text and voice let you jump straight to the recording screen from your home screen. Touch and hold your home screen, tap the add (+) button, search for memorian, and choose the widget you want.
Which devices and OS versions are supported?
memorian’s journal is currently available on iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Android and a web version are planned for the future.
Does the app cost anything?
The app is currently free. We may introduce optional paid features in the future; if we do, we will explain the details and conditions in advance.
What happens when I change time zones?
Each memo remembers the time-zone offset it was recorded at, and display and grouping follow that original offset. If it differs from your device’s current offset, a small badge shows the original offset next to the timestamp.
How do I delete my memos?
You can delete any memo at any time within the app. Uninstalling the app erases all of your memos from the device.
