Life Tyde
Quiet chronicle of your years
Pick out the big moments of your life, file them under hashtags, and keep them on one timeline.
01
Only the moments that mattered
Life events sit on a single line in order of year. A year and a title make an entry; the month, the day, and a note can wait until you remember them. You choose which moments to highlight, and those keep a red dot and a red title. Tap an entry's note to go straight into editing that note. Add photos to an entry, and a highlighted entry shows one wide below its note while other entries show a small one at the right end. The + button at the bottom right of the timeline starts a new entry right away.
- Age or year count beside each entry
- The World Then, one line for each year you recorded
- Reminders and repeats for upcoming events
02
One hashtag, one chronicle
Tag entries with hashtags such as #school or #work. Choose a single tag in the tag filter and its Tag Chronicle opens, with only that tag's entries running from the first to the latest. The entry count and the time span sit at the top. Tags in Settings is where you add, rename, merge, and delete tags. Tap the magnifying glass at the top to search titles, notes, and tag names, then tap a result to jump to that entry. While the tag filter is on, the tag button is filled in red.

Go back over the years
Replay turns through your entries one at a time, oldest first. Life Map spreads every entry across a grid of years and months, and Side by Side lines up two timelines by age or by year. With 2 or more timelines, tap the title at the top of the screen to switch between them.

04
Open it and write
No account needed. Entries live in the app, and with iCloud sync on they follow you to your iPhone, iPad, and Mac on the same account. A long press on an entry opens a menu to edit or highlight it; on iPad and Mac a right-click opens it too, and keyboard shortcuts jump to the previous or next year. On an iPad running iPadOS 26 or later and on a Mac, the Edit menu in the menu bar also has highlight, date, and tag commands for the entry you are editing. On the wide screen of a foldable iPhone opened out, the text grows as on iPad and the timeline sits in the middle. Fold it or open it out, and the entry you were looking at stays in place.
- No account
