Jellyspot
Your life, quietly remembered.
Jellyspot is an automatic journal. It builds a timeline of where you went, what you did and the photos you took — so the details you never thought to write down are still there when you need them.
Requires iOS 26 or later · Free to try
“What was the name of that restaurant on our first night in Paris?”
Time and place are how memory works. Jellyspot keeps both, automatically, so a half-remembered detail is only a search away.
Four ways to find your way back.
Jellyspot works in the background and asks nothing of you. Open it whenever you want to look.
Every day, written for you.
A chronological view of your movements, visits and activities, with a plain-language summary of each day. Walks, drives and rides show how you got from one place to the next.
- Visits and places, recognised from Apple Maps
- Movements — walking, running, cycling, driving
- Steps, workouts, weather and activity rings
- Add a journal post or name a place with a long press
A feed with an audience of one.
Somewhere to put the parts no sensor can capture — reflections, thoughts, feelings, the reason the day mattered. It looks like a social feed and behaves like a locked notebook.
- Write, import photos or shoot straight into an entry
- Entries enrich your timeline where they happened
- Optional reminders to write
- No followers, no likes, no server
Patterns you'd never notice yourself.
Trends across months and years: how often you return to a place, when you take the most photos, whether you really did walk more in Paris than in Rome. Plus moments resurfaced from this day in earlier years.
- Browse by year, month or trip
- Summaries of health, location, activity and events
- Rediscover “on this day” moments
Ask it like you'd ask a friend.
Search “France” and get every trip, photo and memory from there. Filter suggestions for places, dates, people and keywords turn a vague hunch into an actual answer.
- Structured suggestions for locations, dates and keywords
- Results grouped into places, journal entries and visits
- Tap any place for its own history — how often, and when
What happens in Jellyspot stays in Jellyspot.
An app that knows where you've been every day for years should never be an app that ships it somewhere. Your timeline, photos and journal never leave your iPhone.
Stored on your device
Your timeline, photos, journal and health data stay in Jellyspot's own storage on your iPhone. There is no Jellyspot cloud to upload them to.
Insights computed on device
The machine learning that recognises places, groups your trips and writes your daily summaries runs locally. Nothing is sent away to be analysed.
No account, ever
There's no sign-up, no email address and no profile. You never share your information with Jellyspot, because Jellyspot never receives it.
What does leave
Coordinates go to Apple Maps and Apple Weather to look up a place name or a forecast — not tied to you, not stored. Plus anonymous usage counts, so we know which screens people use. Never your content.
You grant four permissions. It takes it from there.
Jellyspot draws on what your iPhone already records. Each source is optional — the app just knows less without it.
Location, always
The backbone of the timeline. “Always” is what lets visits and journeys record themselves in the background — and it's engineered not to drain your battery.
Photos
Jellyspot reads the date, location and other metadata your camera already wrote, and places each photo on the day and in the trip it belongs to.
Health & fitness
Steps, workouts and activity rings land on the right day and the right place, so a hike is attached to the mountain you climbed.
Notifications
Optional nudges to write in your journal, and a heads-up when Jellyspot finds something worth looking at.
Just ask out loud.
Jellyspot answers questions about your own past without you opening it.
- “Jellyspot, summarize last week”
- “What did I do last year with Jellyspot?”
- “Jellyspot, summarize location”
Time periods include today, yesterday, this and last week, this and last month, and this and last year.
Start remembering the details.
Install it, grant the permissions, and forget about it. In a week you'll have something worth looking back at.
