iPhone
Bring printed photos to life: stick an NFC sticker on any print, tap with your phone, and the video, music and words behind the moment come back — just as they were.
Linger keeps the memory behind a printed photo — and brings it back with a tap.
Stick a small NFC sticker on the back of any print. Tap your phone to it, and the memory returns: the words you wrote, the video, the song — as the photo develops and turns over to the story written on its back.
A photo holds a single instant. Linger lets it hold the whole memory.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Seal a memory to a real photo with a standard NFC sticker
• Add video, music, a few words, the people, a place and a date
• Tap to relive — no app to open, and the sticker needs no battery
• Set any memory to a song (full track with Apple Music, or a 30-second preview)
• Browse everything on a beautiful timeline and map
ON THIS DAY
• A Home Screen widget brings back a memory from this very day
• Gentle anniversary reminders — only if you turn them on
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
The free app works fully on your device and uploads nothing. We never read, analyze, or sell your memories. Nothing is public unless you choose to create a share link.
LINGER PLUS (optional)
Back up and sync your memories across your devices, and share a memory with a private link — anyone with the link can open it, and you can turn it off anytime. Plus is an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly), with a one-time Lifetime option where available.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.

ON THIS DAY — a Home Screen widget brings back a memory from this very day, with gentle anniversary reminders if you turn them on.
A NEW REVEAL — tap a sealed photo and watch it develop, turn over to the words on its back, then open into the full memory.
@PEOPLE — tag who's in the photo with @names, then search and filter by person.
Plus a cleaner editor and many little fixes.
