how it works

how memento.sky works

three quiet steps to remember the names and faces of the people you meet — and keep them from fading after the moment passes.

spot a star

add someone while the moment is fresh — a name, where you met, what you spoke about. a small companion mascot and a handwritten label appear in your sky.

keep the moment

each star holds dated notes, photos, and quick sketches. tap it, and the moment comes back — not just the fact of it.

let them sign

hand your phone over. a guided sketching view lets them draw a mark on their own star — a guestbook page in your sky, and they see nothing else.

questions about remembering people

is there an app to remember people you meet?

that is exactly what memento.sky is. every person you meet becomes a star in a private night sky — tap it and the moment comes back: where you met, what you talked about, the small details that fade. learn more →

why do i forget names right after meeting someone?

mostly attention: during an introduction you are composing what to say next, so the name never gets encoded. and whatever does get encoded fades within days unless you return to it — which is why writing a person down while the moment is fresh works better than any trick. learn more →

how do you remember details from conversations?

capture two or three lines soon after — where you were, what you talked about, one detail worth keeping. rereading them later returns the whole moment, not just the fact of it. learn more →

what is a commonplace book?

a centuries-old practice of copying the passages and encounters worth keeping into one personal volume. memento.sky is a commonplace book whose subject is people — a still, handwritten almanac. learn more →

is memento.sky private? does it need an account?

there is no account to create. your sky lives on your iphone and syncs through your own private icloud — we run no servers and cannot read your journal. usage analytics are pseudonymous, with no name, email, or precise location, and nothing is ever sold. learn more →

does memento.sky work offline? what happens if i delete the app?

your sky is stored on your device, so it works without a connection. with icloud signed in, deleting the app leaves your sky safe in your own icloud; without icloud, deleting the app clears the sky. learn more →

is memento.sky available on android?

no — memento.sky is built for iphone (ios 26 and later), and there is currently no android or web version.

can i export everything?

yes. export your whole sky as a zip whenever you like, or delete it all in one step. it is your journal, not ours. learn more →

your sky starts clear tonight.

the first star is someone you have already met — you just have not spotted them yet.
