More than a notes app

A gentle place for the moments that matter.

Echo Notes helps you build a meaningful record of your life without making journalling feel like another job.

Text memories

Write freely, add an optional title and change the date so older stories can be saved exactly where they belong.

Voice memories

Speak naturally when typing feels like too much, then keep the recording alongside an editable transcript.

Photos and captions

Add multiple photos, arrange them in the right order and give each one the context future you will appreciate.

Timeline and calendar

Browse memories chronologically or jump to a date, with search and filters to help you find the right moment.

Patterns and Memory Webs

Notice recurring people, moods, tags and themes using transparent rules that run on your device.

Prompts and reminders

Use gentle daily prompts, favourites, streaks and local reminders to build a habit without pressure.

Speak it before it disappears

Your voice is part of the memory.

Some moments arrive faster than your fingers can type. Record the story as it comes, pause when you need to and let Echo Notes turn clear speech into text you can edit.

  • Keep the original recording with the memory.
  • Edit the transcript without losing your voice note.
  • Add a mood, people, pets, photos and custom tags.
  • Use UK English speech recognition on your iPhone.

Our Life Book

A collection of ordinary days, family stories and little things worth keeping.

From memories to keepsake

Turn your story into a Life Book.

Bring selected memories, photos, people and recurring themes together in a beautifully formatted PDF. Keep it for yourself, print it or share it with the people whose stories are inside.

  • Choose all memories or focus on one person.
  • Select scrapbook, clean or classic styling.
  • Preview the book before you create it.
  • Generate and share the PDF directly from your iPhone.
Private by design

Your memories belong to you.

Echo Notes is local-first. Your memories are stored on your iPhone by default, and optional private cloud backup only runs when you choose to sign in and enable it.

The app does not send your journal to generative AI services and does not sell your data. Pattern insights use clear, deterministic rules rather than an outside AI reading your life.

Local-first storageYour core journal works without a cloud account.
Face ID app lockProtect access with your iPhone’s authentication.
Optional private backupBack up, restore, merge or remove cloud data.
Portable dataExport your memories and embedded photos.
Simple from the start

Remember more in three gentle steps.

Capture the moment

Write, speak or add photos. Use a prompt when you need a little help getting started.

Add the meaning

Choose a mood, people or pets, then add tags and captions that make the memory easier to find.

Rediscover your story

Return through your timeline, On This Day, patterns, favourite memories and your own Life Book.
