About Blur!
Blur is a journal where your life is the exhibition. Most days blur together. Blur helps you keep the ones worth remembering, then lets you walk back through them like a visitor in your own museum. YOUR MUSEUM OPENS FULL You already have years of photographs on your phone. Blur catalogues them for you when you first open it, reads the date each one was taken, and hangs them in wings by year. Your museum has a history before you write a single word. THREE WAYS TO KEEP A DAY Write a line. Say it out loud and let Blur transcribe your words, then tidy the rambling into something clean. Or draw a small doodle with your finger, which hangs itself in your Doodles wing. BUILD YOUR MUSEUM Every memory becomes an exhibit. Place them into rooms like Best Meals, People You Love, or Summer 2026. Watch each room warm up as it fills, and see little visitors wander in to look around. WALK BACK THROUGH YOUR LIFE Browse a wing as a gallery wall, a shelf, a set of pedestals, or a scrapbook page, with the whole room on one screen and the animals wandering below. Each exhibit opens like an artifact, with a wall label giving the day, the hour, and the place. A WING FOR EVERYONE WHO MATTERS Give the people in your life a face and a name. Every entry that mentions someone hangs in their own wing, so you can walk through years of one person. Their names are taught to the microphone too, so even the tricky ones come out spelled right. COLLECT YOUR VISITORS Cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, snails, birds and butterflies wander your halls, and 21 different breeds arrive as your museum grows. The Guest Book shows who has visited and what will bring the rest. FIND ANYTHING The Archive searches every word, person and place you have ever kept. Filter by favorites, food, trips and more. Open the calendar to write for any day in the past, so nothing is lost just because you were busy. BRING YOUR OLD JOURNAL Already keep a journal somewhere else? Import your exported file and the entries arrive dated, tagged, and placed in your museum. You can also paste in older entries one at a time. GENTLE, NEVER PUSHY Soft daily prompts ask for one small thing, never your whole day. Stamps and quiet milestones mark how far you have come. There are no streaks, no guilt, and no pressure. Blur is warm and a little playful, and never another thing to keep up with. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Blur never sends your journal anywhere. It lives on your iPhone. Lock it with Face ID, back it up to your own iCloud, and export everything whenever you want. Your memories are yours alone. Start with one small thing you noticed today. Before it blurs, keep it here.
What’s new
Version 1.2 · Updated October 22, 2026
A brand new look, a new icon, and a museum that fills itself. Your museum now opens full. Blur can catalogue photos you already have, read the date each one was taken, and hang them in wings by year. Also new: Doodle. Draw the day with your finger and it hangs itself in your Doodles wing. A wing for every person. Anyone you name in an entry gets their own gallery. A Guest Book. 21 animal breeds visit as your museum grows, and you can see who is still to come. Import from another journal, so years of entries can move in with you. A calendar, for writing about any day in the past. Redesigned galleries. A whole wing fits on one screen, and you swipe sideways for more. Close a wing you no longer need. Its memories stay safe in the archive. Light and dark now follow your phone. A brighter look throughout, with sound you can turn off. Fixes: the journal lock now asks for Face ID every time the app opens, sound effects no longer go quiet after a voice entry, doodles show up properly in dark mode, and photos stay in frame on every screen.
