A quiet three-part ritual
From the first click
to the first file.
Everything happens in the small, focused window of the app: scan locally, move through the categories, and open whatever brings a memory back.
A small ritual for your folders
Start with a folder.
End with a little history.
Sort by the beginning
See up to 50 of the earliest files in documents, ebooks, audio, images, and video.
Open what you find

Private by design
Your files
stay yours.
The app reads file names, types, creation dates, and ownership metadata. It never reads file contents, uploads data, or stores your scan results.
Read the privacy policy- Only the folder you choose is scanned.
- Repositories and generated folders are skipped.
- Results stay in memory while the app is open.
Look back, without digging
