four years ago, you kept this…
The sea was still warm, and we had the beach to ourselves.

keep it, and find it again
Keep the words that matter. Find them when you had stopped looking.
doomo is a memory journal. Something someone said, a good moment, a small win — kept in seconds, encrypted on your phone, and handed back to you years later.

where it starts
You tell yourself you will remember. You do not.
Some things are said to you and you do not want to lose them. A message that arrives at exactly the right moment. An evening nothing was written down about. A small win nobody else saw.
They end up in a conversation you will never scroll back through, or nowhere at all. doomo is the place to keep them, and to find them again later — once you had stopped looking.
in a few seconds
Open it, write, it is kept.
No form to fill in, no required field. You only choose what it is:
something said to you
What someone told you or wrote to you.
“You have no idea, but you helped me a lot this year.”
a good moment
The kind you want to be able to live again.
The lake at first light, nobody around.
a small win
Something you pulled off.
I ran the meeting without my notes, and nobody saw me shaking.
a line worth keeping
The one you do not want to forget.
We do not keep the days, we keep what they left behind.
Add who it came from and where, if you feel like it. Otherwise leave it: a memory without a label is still a memory.
You can attach a picture or a voice note too, for when words are not enough.
without looking
It is the coming back that gives a kept memory its worth.
Your memories file themselves into a timeline, month by month. And every so often, doomo hands one back to you.
The thread
Everything you have kept, ordered by month, with no filing to do. You never have to decide where something goes.
Rediscover
“Four years ago, you kept this…” A memory comes back up, picked by doomo, at a moment you were not expecting it.
The anniversary window
What you kept on this same date, in the years before. The most loaded date is often simply today.
Remind me
You set the moment, doomo hands the memory back. For the one you want to reread on a particular day, or just once things are better.
you stay in charge
Some memories are not for bringing back.
A word from someone who is no longer here, a success that cost you dearly. For each one, you can ask doomo never to surface it on its own: it stays in your journal, on its date, in full colour — but you are the one who goes to it.
genuinely private
This is the heart of doomo, not a selling point bolted on afterwards.
No account
No sign-up, no email address, no password. You open the app and you write.
No server, by default
What you write, your pictures and your voice notes do not come to us. They stay on your phone — unless you choose to put your vault somewhere safe, and then they leave encrypted.
An encrypted journal
The text of your memories is encrypted on the device, with a key kept in the system’s own vault that never leaves your phone.
No data collection
No analytics, no usage statistics, no advertising tracker.
No advertising
Ever. No banner, no placement, no sponsored suggestion.
Locked, if you want
A journal gets left open on a table. You can ask for your phone’s passcode, pattern, fingerprint or face every time doomo opens. The system does the checking: we never see your code, only that it was accepted.
Two permissions
The microphone to record a voice note, the camera to take a photo — each asked for at the moment you use it. On iPhone, Face ID asks for a third, and only if you turn the lock on. No contacts, no location, no access to your photo library.
Premiumyour vault, kept safe
Stop dreading the day you lose your phone.
A copy of your vault goes somewhere safe after every addition, and you get it back whole on a new phone. It is encrypted before it leaves your device: we cannot read it, and that is not a policy — we do not hold the key.
Encrypted before it leaves
The text is sealed with AES-256 on your phone, before any network call at all. So are your pictures and voice notes, each under its own key, and their file names give nothing away about what is inside.
Still no account
No sign-up, no email address, no password — not even on Premium. Your vault is recognised by a signature derived from your twelve words: there is no user table to breach.
Hosted in France
On servers in Paris, with no transfer outside the European Union.
Nothing to remember
The copy goes on its own after every addition, as soon as there is a network. Nothing to trigger, nothing to back up by hand: that is the whole point.
what doomo is not
There is nothing here for you to feed.
It is not a social network
Nobody to follow, nothing to publish, no likes to collect. No streak to protect, no notification holding your silence against you.
It is not a diary to keep every night
You only write when something is worth keeping. Three times a week or three times a year, doomo works the same.

- For anyone who wants a gratitude journal without the daily obligation.

- For anyone who wants a written memory that stays theirs.
the questions that come up
Frequently asked questions
Is doomo free?
Yes. doomo is free to download and to use, with no advertising and no limit on how many memories you keep. A paid option, keeping your vault safe, adds an encrypted online copy that hands your journal back on a new phone: monthly, yearly, or as a one-off lifetime purchase. Everything else in the app works without it.
Do I need an account to use doomo?
No. There is no sign-up, no email address and no password. You install the app and write your first memory straight away.
Where are my memories stored?
On your phone. By default doomo sends nothing to any server: not to its publisher, not to anyone. If you turn on the safe-copy option, an encrypted copy is also held on servers in Paris — sealed on your device before it leaves, and unreadable by the publisher, who does not hold the key.
Are my memories encrypted?
The text of your memories is encrypted on the device, with a key kept in the system’s own vault that never leaves your phone. Attached pictures and voice notes are ordinary files stored in the app’s private space. If you put your vault somewhere safe, everything is encrypted before being sent, attachments included, each under its own key.
Does doomo work offline?
Entirely. doomo needs no connection to keep a memory, reread one, or hand one back to you. The safe copy, if you have turned it on, simply waits for the network before it goes.
Will I get my memories back if I change phone?
Yes, if you had put your vault somewhere safe: your twelve words reopen it whole on the new phone, memories, pictures and voice notes included. Without that option, no — the encryption key never leaves the device, so the journal does not restore elsewhere. And either way, nobody can reopen it for you, not even us.
Does doomo show ads or collect data?
Neither, ever. No analytics, no usage statistics, no advertising tracker, no banner. The paid option changes none of that: what leaves is encrypted, and the publisher cannot read it.
How is doomo different from a diary app?
A diary is something you keep up: it expects an entry a day. doomo asks for nothing. You write only when something is worth keeping, and it is doomo that comes back to you later.
Can I attach a photo or a voice note to a memory?
Yes. A picture or a recording, for when words are not enough. doomo only asks for the microphone and the camera at the exact moment you use them.
What happens if I lose my twelve words?
As long as your phone works, nothing: your twelve words stay visible at any time in doomo’s settings. It only becomes a problem if you lose the phone without having kept them somewhere else — nobody can then reopen the online copy, not even the publisher, who does not hold the key. That is the price of this level of protection.
Can I lock doomo?
Yes. In the settings you can ask for your phone’s passcode, pattern, fingerprint or face every time the app opens. The system does the checking, not doomo: your code never reaches us, and the app only learns that the lock was cleared. It is off by default, and it requires your phone to be protected in the first place.
Which phones does doomo run on?
iPhone from iOS 15.1, and Android phones from Android 8.0. The app is translated into eleven languages.
