Getting around the app
A quick tour of the five places you'll spend your time, on iPhone, Apple Watch, and Mac.
Capturing
Get a thought out of your head and into your memory in seconds.
Open Capture
Tap the Capture tab and choose what you're saving — a Note, Photo, Video, or Voice memo. You can switch types at any time before you save.
Add the details that matter
Give it a title and a few words. Optionally add a feeling and tags — these help Ynara group related memories later and make them easier to find.
Record a voice or video memo
Choose Voice or Video and tap Record. Ynara asks for microphone (and camera) access the first time you actually record — never before — so permissions only appear when you need them.
Save it
Tap Save and the memory drops into your Library and onto your Memory Palace canvas. That's it — capture is meant to be fast.
The Oracle
Your daily reflection — what Ynara noticed in what you captured.
Open with the Oracle
Ynara opens to the Oracle, a calm daily briefing. As your memories grow, it surfaces a hero reflection plus today's signals — patterns, gentle prompts, and things worth revisiting.
Just getting started?
A brand-new memory starts empty on purpose — no fake data. Capture a few thoughts and the Oracle begins reflecting them back within a day.
Ask from the Oracle
Tap the Ask bar to jump straight into a conversation with your memories (more on that below).
Memory Palace
See and shape the connections between your thoughts.
Explore the canvas
The Memory Palace lays your memories out as glowing nodes on an infinite canvas. Pan and zoom to wander through everything you've captured.
Link two memories
Drag from one node to another to draw a connection. Use links to tie a person to a place, an idea to the moment it sparked, or anything that belongs together in your head.
Remove a link — with undo
Tap a line to delete that connection. Made a mistake? An Undo appears so an accidental removal is never permanent.
Open and pin
Tap a node to read the full memory. Pin the important ones so they rise to the top of your Library and Oracle.
Ask your memories
A private conversation with everything you've captured.
Ask in plain language
Type a question like “What was on my mind this week?” or “What did I note about Mara?” Ynara reads your memories and answers in a natural, conversational way.
Follow the thread
Answers stream in as a chat, and Ynara offers follow-up prompts so you can dig deeper without retyping context.
Entirely on-device
On supported devices, Ynara uses Apple Intelligence running on your device to phrase answers. Your memories are never sent to a server or an outside model.
Apple Watch
Capture and reflect from your wrist.
Capture on the go
Open the Watch app, jot a quick title and note on the Capture page, and tap Save memory. It syncs to your iPhone and Mac automatically.
Glance at the Oracle
The Oracle page shows today's hero reflection and top signals, sized for a quick look.
Browse what's recent
The Recent page lists your latest memories so you can revisit a thought without reaching for your phone.
Library, settings & your data
Find anything, set the mood, and take your memories with you.
Library & filters
The Library holds every memory. Search, filter by type (Photo, Video, Voice, Note…) or time range, and jump to your Pinned section for the essentials.
Appearance
In Profile, choose System, Light, or Dark. Ynara applies your choice across iPhone and Mac.
Sync & privacy
Your memories sync through your own iCloud — no account to create. Nothing is stored on our servers, and the intelligence runs on your device.
