What’s new

New in the journal

Every Placemoir release gets an entry here, newest first: what changed, and why it might matter to you the next time you sit down to write up a place.

Version 1.0

Coming soon

First edition

The first edition

Placemoir 1.0 is a field journal for places: the restaurants, cafés, hotels, parks and museums you visit. Where you went, and what you really thought, written for you and nobody else.

Highlights

Rate it your way

Simple rating is one tap: I’ll be back, or Never again. Detailed rating is half a star to five, plus “Would you go back?” Switch any time.

Quick capture

Long-press + to save where you are in a couple of seconds. Finish the entry later, and a reminder brings you back to it.

The weather that day

Apple Weather fills in what the sky was doing when you were there, even if you write the entry up a week later.

WITH PLACEMOIR PREMIUM

Photos, voice memos and files

Keep them with the visit. Tap a photo to swipe through the rest. Entries with a voice memo show a small waveform, and you can filter to just those.

A map and a memory

Every place on one map: green for go back, plum for skip it, gold for Want to go. Search finds a place by its name, the neighborhood or a word in your notes.

Every visit, together

Go back somewhere and it gets a second visit with its own date, rating and notes. On this day brings back where you were a year ago.

Bring what you have

Import from Photos and Google Maps for free, or from any other app with an AI assistant’s help through the open archive format.

Yours, and only yours

No account, no ads, no tracking. Your journal syncs through your own iCloud, locks with Face ID, and exports in full whenever you like.

Also in 1.0

  • Made for every screen. iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, in light and dark, with Liquid Glass controls.
  • Built for VoiceOver and Voice Control. Icons grow with your text size, buttons are easy to hit, and long addresses never get cut off.
  • Want to go. Save the places friends recommend, then turn them into entries once you’ve been.
  • Ready to type. The keyboard comes up on its own in Search and when you start a new entry.
  • A lock that covers everything. Face ID hides your journal behind open sheets, the share sheet and the app switcher too.
  • A clean slate, everywhere. Delete all data clears your journal from every device on your iCloud account, with a chance to export first.
  • A second app icon. Swap the coastal map for the moss bookmark, with Placemoir Premium.

Free and Premium

Placemoir is free for up to 25 visits. Placemoir Premium adds unlimited visits, weather and the bookmark icon for $9.99 a year or $1.29 a month (USD), with Family Sharing. Reading, editing, every import, export and Delete all data stay free, so nothing gets locked away if a subscription ends.

Small, regular updates

Coming later

1.0 is the first edition, not the last. Placemoir will grow in small, regular updates, and each one will land at the top of this page.
