Your life.
Your words.
Your files.
A journal should feel like something you own. Because it is.
MemScape keeps your entries and photos in a folder on your iPhone. Your words are stored in readable JSON files, with your photos alongside them.
No MemScape account to create. No journal service to sign into. Just your journal, on your phone.

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?
Yes. MemScape is available as a limited beta through TestFlight. Join the TestFlight beta on your iPhone. You’ll need iOS 26 or later and Apple’s TestFlight app.
