The project, at a glance
- The challenge
- Scattered memories need a path into a coherent story, with the person retaining editorial control.
- My contribution
- I designed and built guided capture, an organized memory archive and a chapter workspace with sources and revision history.
- What came out of it
- Original app components connect capture, timeline and chapter editing. The preview uses fictional memories.

01 / The question behind the work
Build a life story one remembered moment at a time.
The problem
Writing an entire autobiography is an intimidating blank-page task. People remember fragments, and AI-generated prose needs to preserve their meaning and sources.
My contribution
Capture-to-chapter product model, mobile information architecture, memory organization, writing controls, local archive and optional collaboration flows.
What the work delivers
React Native / Expo mobile interface, Encrypted local archive, Memory timeline and life-map entities, Guided recall and writing flows, Consent and collaboration roles, PDF, EPUB and archive export implementation.

Specific choices, connected to the work you can see.
Keep the source inspectable
Preserve original material, corrections, confidence states and revision history alongside writing.
↳ Documented product behaviorLeave the author in control
Use editing levels, locks, permissions and reviewed editions instead of treating generated prose as unquestionable truth.
↳ Documented product behaviorMake cloud connection optional
Support local-only startup and archive use, with separate cloud collaboration and server-side AI processing.

The moment
Capture a fragment in text, voice or media.
The design intention
Begin with a moment instead of an empty book.

The details.
With a purpose.
Selected views, framed to explain the work. Complete original artifacts are available in the source collection below.
Make the first memory feel manageable
A guided question offers a starting point. Speak, Write and Photo make capture a small action instead of asking someone to begin an entire autobiography.
Preserve the original fragments
The archive keeps memories searchable and separates source material from the chapters it may later inform. Differing perspectives have an explicit place.
Make progress visible
The book view turns fragments into an evolving structure. Chapter states show where material exists and what is ready for review.
Leave room for uncertainty
The timeline accepts approximate dates and keeps people and topics attached to the memory. The interface can express uncertainty without hiding the story.
Read a life through its places
The latest Memory Atlas connects a geographic map with a time lens. Nearby memories cluster together, while sensitive places stay hidden by default. This original screen is rendered from the newer app source with fictional memories and public city-centre coordinates.
Put memories back in place
The places index gives homes, streets and journeys a place in the archive. Location names, descriptions and connected-memory counts offer another way to rediscover a story.
Connect the location to its sources
A place brings its original memories and events together. This read-only view keeps the story’s connections visible without exposing editing controls.
Keep the author in charge
The chapter studio combines editing, revision history, locks and source references. AI-assisted writing stays part of a reviewable authoring process.

The result
The README and completion audit document an internal Android preview tested on an emulator and physical device. Production signing and public distribution remain separate work.
Sources & presentation notes +
Original screen components, theme, fonts and icons are rendered from the project source using React Native Web. Local fixtures supply fictional memories and account data; device services and navigation are adapted for the capture environment. This is a source-rendered presentation, not a device capture or new interface proposal. No personal archive, cloud account or AI request was used. Original source files remain unchanged.
The journey diagrams and editorial explanations were prepared for this portfolio from the available project evidence. They are not additional historical research or measured outcomes.
