Frame - Photo & Word Diary
Your memories, back on the map
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
I've been here before. Open the map and your days — a photo and a word — line up by place. Capture autumn walks in one tap, then meet them again where they happened.
I've been here before.
Open the map, and the days you kept — a photo and a word each — line up by the places you visited.
Frame is a tiny app for not letting your moments slip away, so you can meet them again where they happened.
Each entry is just three things: one photo, a short note, and the place. Not for social, not for showing off — for the future you. Nothing heavy to keep up with, so it lasts.
WHAT GOES IN A FRAME
• One photo — picked from your library, nothing more
• A short note — eight characters or eighty, whatever feels right
• A place — auto-detected from your photo's location data, easily editable
TWO WAYS TO LOOK BACK
• Map — pins for every place you visited. "I've been here before," found by place
• Timeline — your entries in date order, easy to scroll
NEW THIS SUMMER (v2.2)
• Bulk-import past photos — bring your camera roll onto the map at once, great after a trip
• "Today's Frame" widget — your frames return on your Home Screen, changing through the day
• You've been here before — save near a familiar place and quietly meet a past frame
• Memory notifications (optional) — a "one year ago today" frame, delivered in the morning
SHARED TRIP ALBUMS (v2.0)
For trips, anniversaries or any shared occasion, create an album and invite family or friends. Everyone adds their own frames from their own device, and the album becomes a collaborative travel diary.
• Create an album and share a link via Messages, Mail or AirDrop
• Each participant adds their own frames
• Optional notifications when someone adds a new frame
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
• Location is read from your photo, so no GPS permission prompts
• Your data is stored only in your personal iCloud
• No advertising SDKs, no analytics, no tracking

• People who want to journal but struggle with long-form writing
• People tired of social and monetized apps
• Families and friends who want to share trip memories collaboratively

Frame v2.2.2 — A round of fixes so nothing gets lost mid-entry.
FIXED
• The "+" button covering the cancel button while selecting frames in the timeline
• Date and location missing when choosing a photo with "Selected Photos" access
• Unsaved entries being discarded without confirmation on Cancel or swipe down
• Failed saves (changing albums, deleting, and more) not showing any error
• The map in a frame's details not following an updated location
• The app freezing while cleaning up duplicates
IMPROVED
• You can now change the photo while creating a new frame
• Timeline headers show the year for dates before this year
• Filtering the map by an album moves the map to that album's places
• Deleting an album now asks first, and explains the effect on people you share it with
• Settings now shows why sync is paused, such as not being signed in to iCloud or running out of storage
• You can now change the photo when editing a frame (its date and place stay the same)
• Importing past photos can now be stopped partway
• The widget hides the photo and note while your device is locked
• The album filter and map position are kept when switching tabs
• Better support for larger text sizes and VoiceOver throughout the app
