Rationale

Google Photos offers many features that align with the 'Remember This' concept, particularly in its ability to organize, search, and surface memories. It explicitly mentions 'Stroll down memory lane' and curating 'top shots' for sharing, which aligns with memory cards and shared timelines. The AI-powered editing tools like Magic Editor and Magic Eraser can be seen as a form of 'one-tap infographics & quizzes' in terms of transforming photos. It emphasizes privacy and control over data, and offers cloud sync. While it's not a Mac-specific app, it does integrate with iOS and allows syncing libraries, which is a close match to Apple Photos integration. The 'Search made simple' with natural language aligns with 'chat-to-find photos'. However, it doesn't explicitly focus on 'relationship prompts' or 'face-tag sync' in the same way as the concept, nor is it a native Mac app.
