A few more things to knowKeep your story going

For years of you.
Bring your Day One Classic text export and its photos into MemScape. Keep the memories you’ve already collected, and pick up where you left off.

A few things to know.
What do I need?
MemScape is being developed for iPhone running iOS 26 or later, in portrait orientation.
Where does my journal live?
In MemScape’s Documents/Journal folder on your iPhone. Entries are individual JSON files; photos are JPEG files. You can access the journal through the Files app. Keep your own backup of the folder.
What can I import?
A Day One Classic text-export folder with its referenced photos. This importer is for the Classic text format; it does not import modern Day One JSON or ZIP exports.
Does every entry capture my location and weather?
Context capture depends on your permissions, device support, and service availability. You can write an entry without those details.
Can I download MemScape?
MemScape is in development. A public download and release date haven’t been announced.
