Try it — search your memory
"Google Photos and Apple Photos remember what it looked like.
City Memory remembers what it meant."
Memories from people who live globally
What it does
Type it, say it, photograph it, or film it — in any language. City Memory accepts text, voice, photos, and short videos. Your memories don't need to be translated first.
Snap the dish, the alley, the view from the table. Attach photos and short videos to any memory so you can see what you're trying to remember, not just read about it.
"What was that tiny ramen place in Fukuoka?" "Show me everywhere I've eaten great coffee." AI search surfaces exactly what you need, years later.
Every city you've lived in or visited becomes a rich, searchable collection: text, voice, photos, and video, all organized automatically by place.
Capture a memory in Japanese, recall it in English. Log a Porto moment in Portuguese. City Memory works across languages because people who've lived globally don't think in just one.
The best memories surface in the moment — on a street corner, in a taxi, mid-bite. Just speak it. City Memory transcribes, translates if needed, and files it automatically.
When a friend is heading to Lisbon, send them your City Memory guide — the real one, built from years of actual time there. Photos, voice notes, and all.
Not a travel planner. Not a diary. City Memory is built for people who accumulate deep geographic knowledge over years of living globally.
A memory, captured
"The bacalhau com natas at that unmarked spot on Rua de Cimo de Vila — blue tiles, no sign. The owner brought wine we didn't order and refused to charge us for it."
"Walked the Concha promenade at low tide, no one around. The kind of quiet you only find in a city that knows it doesn't need to perform. Stayed two hours longer than planned."
"Night market off Raohe Street — the stinky tofu hit you a block before you saw the stall. Ordered it anyway. Best decision of the trip. Back every night after that."
Capture memories in any language
Why this exists
"I've been to over 100 countries. Last year I couldn't remember the name of the best meal I've ever eaten."
I've lived in Tokyo for years, split time between Japan and Portugal, and spent most of my adult life moving between cities. I speak in half-languages, think in neighborhoods, and navigate by memory of places I visited years ago.
The problem is that memory fades. The name of that ramen shop in Fukuoka. The coffee roaster hidden on the third floor in Shimo-Kitazawa. The unmarked wine bar in Porto where the owner sat down and joined us. These things live in my head — or they did.
I built City Memory because I needed it. If you've lived across cities, you probably do too.
"The places you've lived don't disappear — they just get harder to find. City Memory is the map back."
