Timbre: keep the sound

We keep ten thousand photos and almost never keep a voice. A voice is the fastest trace of a person to disappear from memory, and the quickest to bring them back.

timbre keeps the sound of the people and places you love. Press and hold, and it records a short spoken moment together with the room around it. The recording becomes a small living stone, colored by what it heard and sized by how long you listened, that settles into a timeline. Over months, the timeline becomes a warm field of colored stones: a map of a life in sound.

Years later you can still hear exactly how someone said your name.

WHAT IT DOES
• Press and hold. A living form blooms with your voice while you record.
• Words appear as you speak, transcribed on your phone, kept with the sound.
• Stones take their color from the world: speech glows amber, rain pulls teal.
• Tap a sentence in the transcript and playback jumps there.
• Feel a recording through your fingertips. The heartbeat traces its shape, strong enough to know a moment without hearing it.
• Gather stones by person and place: forty-one minutes of Mom.
• On This Day brings a kept moment back to your home screen, quietly. Tap it to hear the sound again.

WHAT IT DOESN'T
No account. No feed. No streaks. No ads. Nothing leaves your phone: transcription and sound understanding happen on-device, recordings stay yours, and there is no server to send them to. There is no us.

Free for your first 50 recordings. After that a single payment keeps it unlimited — one payment, never a subscription. Everything you have already kept stays yours either way.

BUILT FOR EVERYONE
Every stone carries a silhouette as well as a color, so meaning never rests on color alone. VoiceOver speaks the capture as it grows, and Reduce Motion is respected throughout.

Everything works in airplane mode, from the first press.
