Roadmap

Building the Future of Deep Memory Exploration

We're excited to share our ideas for the future of Remember This! Our roadmap focuses on delivering features that leverage deep context from photo metadata and other personal data sources, providing you with unparalleled insights into your memories.

Today: A Foundation for Deep Memory Exploration
Today, we have established the core functionalities that set the foundation for deep memory exploration:
  • Mac Desktop App: Plug-and-play photo metadata analysis environment running on your Mac.
  • Local AI Photo Descriptions: Generate descriptions using Local AI — completely offline and private.
  • Photo Metadata Exploration: See the when, who, where, and what of your photos in a timeline view.
Up Next: Advanced Local AI for Deep Context
Enhancing AI capabilities to provide more personalized and efficient memory insights:
  • Persistent Photo Descriptions: Enable scanning and persistent storage of AI-generated descriptions for all your photos.
  • Memory-adaptive AI: Choose AI models that match your device's capabilities, ensuring optimal performance across a range of hardware.
  • Smart Prioritization: Prioritize processing intelligently as you browse through your photos, making sure the AI is used where it is most relevant.
Phase 2: Organize Photos with AI Support
Streamlining photo management through intelligent categorization and automation:
  • Photo Purpose Classification: Auto-classification of photos by themes or events (e.g., detecting food, travels, or routines).
  • Auto-Rotate using AI: Ensures images are correctly oriented automatically.
  • Reaction-Based Photo Annotation: Use facial expressions and eye movements to sort or tag photos based on the way you visually react to them.
Phase 3: Enhanced Memory Exploration
Delving deeper into your memories with advanced narrative and visualization tools:
  • Automated Story Generation: Use AI to create personalized narratives that chronicle specific periods or events in your life.
  • Life Events and Milestones: Automatically detect and highlight important life events and personal milestones based on your photo library.
  • Advanced Life Summaries: Automatically generated visual summaries of your life’s most important moments, using your entire photo collection.
  • Personal Search: Search using personal references (e.g., "Highlights from my last trip to Italy") and quickly find the relevant photos.
Phase 4: Personalized Memory Projects
Empowering you to create meaningful projects and curated memories with ease:
  • AI-Assisted Photobook Creation: Generate photobook drafts using AI-assisted photo selections and narratives.
  • Photo Curation Tracking: Track progress for photo curation work, like which days or periods you have processed and which are still pending.
  • Custom Memory Timelines: Create timelines of significant events, enhanced with contextual data and personal insights.
Phase 5: Deeper Contextual Insights
Integrating additional data sources to enrich your memory exploration experience:
  • Weather: Add context to your memories with weather information.
  • Chat Conversations: Chat conversations often provide rich context around events and everyday routines.
  • Purchase History: Correlate photos with purchase history to get more context around events and activities.
  • Calendar and Event Data: Connect your calendar to correlate photos with events, appointments, and milestones.
  • Fitness and Health Data: Incorporate data from fitness trackers to see how your activities align with your memories.
Ongoing Expansion
Continuously evolving to support more platforms and enhance your experience:
  • Support More Photo Storage Locations: Incorporate data from more platforms than just OS X Photos (e.g., Google Photos, Local Folders, Ente, Nextcloud, etc.).
  • Support More Platforms: Windows, Linux, MS-DOS, etc.
  • Cloud Metadata Sync: Sync metadata insights across devices and platforms without duplicating the organization features of Apple Photos or Google Photos.
  • Customizable Insights: Tailor the insights and patterns you want to explore, making Remember This uniquely yours.
Bonus: Fun and Interactive Features
Adding playful elements to make memory exploration enjoyable and engaging:
  • Interactive Life Maps: Visualize your journeys and activities on dynamic maps, showing how your experiences weave together.
  • Memory Game Mode: Test your memory with quizzes based on your own photos and the contextual data around them.
  • Media Server Integration: Explore creating a Plex server structure that allows users to manage and showcase their photos in a home media environment.
  • Interactive Photo Experiences: Implement features that select content for screensavers or other fun displays, such as kiosk-like photo experiences suitable for young kids.
