Rationale
YourStory App allows users to save and share life moments, which aligns with the core concept of 'Remember This'. It explicitly mentions features like 'Life Stages Questions' which can be interpreted as memory prompts, 'Upload Photos and Videos' and 'Private Sharing' which relate to shared timelines, and 'Location Tags and Face Recognition' which are key for photo-based memory generation. The app also states it's 'Designed for iPhone' and 'Mac Requires macOS 11.0 or later and a Mac with Apple M1 chip or later', indicating a native Mac app. The privacy policy states 'Data Not Collected' and 'your contacts are not stored on our servers and are discarded immediately after processing', which supports the local-first privacy aspect, although it also mentions 'temporarily uploads your contacts to check for matching entries in our database' which is a slight deviation from strict local-first. The ability to 'Add pictures and videos to your memories' and 'Share your stories with selected friends or family members in a private space' directly supports the 'shared-timelines' feature. The 'Voice to Text' feature for recording memories can be seen as a form of memory capture, and the 'Location Tags and Face Recognition' directly supports the ability to generate memory cards and potentially infographics/quizzes based on photo metadata. The app's description of saving and sharing 'special moments of your life' and organizing 'your life story in one place' strongly suggests the 'memory-cards' and 'timeline-view' features. The 'Upload Photos and Videos' and 'Location Tags and Face Recognition' imply integration with existing photo libraries and face tagging. The 'Private Sharing' feature aligns with sharing timelines. The app's compatibility with Mac and its privacy statement about data not being collected on servers (though with a temporary contact upload) supports the local-first and native Mac app features. While not explicitly stated as 'quizzes' or 'infographics', the general idea of creating and sharing 'stories' with photos and videos could encompass these. The 'relationship prompts' and 'customizable reminder frequency' are not explicitly mentioned.
