Keep photos, words, and feelings together
Bring a photo, a few words, and the feeling of the day into one collection. From everyday notes to travel memories, each moment has a place on your timeline.
From moments just for you to memories shared with those close to you
Save photos, a few words, and the feelings of the day in collections. Rediscover them on the map or in your home screen widget. Marchive is a quiet place to keep memories with the people you invite, away from a public feed.
Capture, share, and rediscover
Share only with people you invite
Keep private moments to yourself and gather shared ones with friends or family. Only invited people can see them, and you can keep the conversation going in comments.
Find a memory when it comes to mind
As your records grow, search for a word to quickly find the photos and stories you're looking for.
Rediscover places and moments
Follow your memories on the map, then let a home screen photo widget bring past collections back into view.
Make it your space
A quieter place for your memories
- Save a small moment from an ordinary day
- Bring a trip together with the people who were there
- Keep feelings you want to hold onto privately
Recent updates
See all release notesSee who shared each story
- Changed: The author now appears just below the large date in collection details, before the story text.
- Changed: You can add a record directly from the Today card, so we removed the separate + button at the top of Home.
- Changed: The quick-entry widget now has three clear actions: Photo record, New record, and My records.
- Improved: Marchives without photos now show the Marchive logo instead of an empty icon.
- Retired: Chat is no longer available as we focus on making and revisiting memories together. You can still talk in collection comments.
- Fixed: The Marchive photo at the top of collection details did not fill its circular frame correctly.
Capture today and share it with a link
- Added: The Today card shows a large date and all seven days of the week. Once you capture today, a memory from this day in a previous year appears in its place.
- Added: If you have a record from this exact date in an earlier year, it can appear before you add today's record.
- Added: Share a collection with someone who doesn't have the app. Choose the photos and text to show, set an expiry date, or turn the link off at any time.
- Added: You can like collections, and the number of likes appears in the Marchive collection list.
- Added: Photos on the map now show where and when they were taken, and how many years ago. Open an existing collection or make a new record from an unrecorded photo.
- Added: Newcomers can start their first record with a Marchive name and one photo.
- Added: Preview a Marchive before accepting an invitation. You can also paste a copied invitation link or code to join.
