Private media diary for iOS

Remember more than the rating.

Yore is for the thoughts that are easy to lose after a film, book, game, or album. Add a dated diary entry, connect it to an item or a session, and keep the context with your own history.

A diary that knows what you are talking about

Each entry can stand on its own or link to the item and log that prompted it. That lets you look back at a reaction in the context of when you watched, read, played, or listened.

Date-led memory

Write a note for a real day, not a generic review page.

Keep the session

Connect a thought to starting, finishing, dropping, or rating something.

All your media

Use one diary across films, TV, books, manga, games, music, podcasts, and board games.

No performance layer

There are no followers or public posts. The record is for you.

Log the whole experience, not only the ending

Use session logging to preserve the shape of an experience: mark a start date, record a completion date, and add notes as your opinion changes. A re-read, re-watch, replay, or repeat listen is a new dated part of the story, rather than an edit that erases the earlier one.

Private reflective journal entries

A rating captures a verdict. A private reflective journal entry can capture the scene you cannot stop thinking about, the context in which you read a book, or why a game landed differently on a second playthrough. Link the note to its item or a particular session, then revisit it in your personal timeline later.

Who should use Yore as a media diary?

It is a good fit for people who want to preserve reactions over time, revisit old experiences, or combine a detailed media log with personal notes. It is not designed for public reviews, recommendations, or a reading-only journal.
