Rationale

PhotoCircle is primarily a private photo and video sharing platform, allowing users to create 'circles' to share media with specific groups. While it focuses on sharing and privacy, it lacks the core 'memory prompting' and 'relationship nudging' features that are must-haves for 'Remember This'. It does offer secure sharing, privacy controls, and the ability to share content, which aligns with some 'other' features and a very limited aspect of 'shared timelines' in the sense of sharing collections, but not in the context of automatically generated themed photo collections for reconnection. It is not a Mac desktop app and does not integrate with Apple Photos in the way 'Remember This' does.
