New in 3.0: watch your happiness jar fill with folded slips, open each memory like a note on the day, and draw a slip from any opened jar. One purchase, no subscription. Write down the small things as they happen. Fold them into a jar. Open them on a day you choose. Memory Jar is a happiness jar, a gratitude jar, a jar of joy — one you fill with moments: a line about a good Tuesday, a photo from a trip, thirty seconds of someone's voice. Each one becomes a folded slip you can see in the jar but can't read until the date you set. Not a journal you reread into the ground. A year you get back all at once. HOW IT WORKS Make a jar and choose when it opens — New Year's Eve, an anniversary, the end of a trip. Add a short memory whenever something is worth keeping. It folds into a slip and drops in. A quiet nudge asks now and then, so a jar doesn't end up empty. Once a memory is sealed, you can't read it again until the day. That's the whole point. On the day, open the lid and read everything back, one slip at a time. DRAW A SLIP After a jar is opened, reach in any time and pull out one memory at random — tap, or shake your iPhone. A good Tuesday from last spring, back when you need it. FOR THE OCCASION A year, a trip, a baby's first year, a wedding, a school term, a hundred days of gratitude, or anything you name yourself. Each one comes with its own length, its own cover, and its own set of questions to answer when you don't know what to write. TOGETHER, OR FOR SOMEONE ELSE Invite someone to add their own memories to a jar you're keeping — a year with your partner, a trip with friends. Nobody reads anything early, including you. Or fill a jar for someone and hand it over sealed, to open on the day you choose. A wedding. A graduation. The end of a year they'll want back. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget with your jar, the days left and a one-tap way to add a memory, on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. FREE, AND WHAT PREMIUM ADDS Free: one jar at a time, unlimited written memories, the full opening day, Draw a Slip, and a reminder when the day comes. Jars you've already opened are kept forever and never count against that one — you never have to delete your history to start something new. Encrypted backups are free too. Premium is one purchase, not a subscription, and it adds: • More than one jar running at once • Photos and thirty-second voice memories • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Every occasion template and its questions • Filling a jar together with someone • Sealing a jar as a gift • Your own reminder rhythm • Every jar style • Export a finished jar as PDF or text NO ACCOUNT. NO SERVER. There is nothing to sign up for. Your jars live on your iPhone and nowhere else — no analytics, no tracking, no cloud. The app makes no network requests at all except to Apple when you buy or restore. Nothing leaves your device unless you make a file and send it yourself. That also means the responsibility is yours: make a backup. It's free, it's encrypted with a passphrase only you know, and Memory Jar will remind you once there's something worth protecting.

Memory Jar 3.0 — the jar, at last. A JAR THAT FILLS Every memory folds into a paper slip and drops into your jar. Watch it fill over the weeks and months — without ever seeing a word of what's inside. AN OPENING DAY THAT UNFOLDS On the day, the lid comes off and each memory opens like the slip it was sealed as. DRAW A SLIP Reach into a jar you've already opened and pull out one memory at random. Tap, or shake your iPhone. Free for everyone, and never for a jar that's still sealed. A WARMER LOOK Paper, ink and a serif made for your words, in light and dark. A NUDGE TO BACK UP Your memories live only on your iPhone. Once there's enough to protect, Memory Jar suggests an encrypted backup. "Later" quiets it for a month. ALSO: a steadier purchase check, a clearer home screen, and a small widget with your jar in it. Your jars, memories and purchases are untouched.
