Capture a thought from your wrist or phone, and trust it to return when you need it. No long forms. No Podod account. No developer server holding your memories.
Why External Memory
Catch the thought.
Skip the mental load.
Made for the moments when opening an app, choosing fields, and typing everything out is already too much.
What makes it different
A memory tool that stays out of your way.
Reminders that match real life
Create one-time, recurring, or interval reminders, then complete or review them from a clear Today view.
Find what you meant to remember
Search thoughts, tasks, and where you put important things instead of relying on memory alone.
Present across Apple devices
Apple Watch capture, complications, and the iPhone widget remain available in the free experience.
Private without another account
No Podod login, ads, public sharing, or third-party tracking. Memories stay on your devices and optional personal iCloud.
