PRIVACY AND YOUR DATA

Sync your journal with iCloud

By default, memoir keeps journal data locally. Optional iCloud Sync uses your personal iCloud account so supported devices can share the same library.

How to get started

  1. Confirm you are signed into the intended Apple account on each device.
  2. In memoir Settings, review the iCloud Sync option and your memoir+ access.
  3. Enable sync on the devices you want to use and allow time for entries and attachments to transfer.

When a memory has not arrived

Check the Apple account, network connection, available iCloud storage, and the sync setting on both devices. Photos or recordings may need longer than text to transfer.

Keep the original entries and attachments while you investigate. Deleting and reinstalling the app is not a safe first troubleshooting step for a locally stored journal.

Sync is different from a backup

Sync carries changes between connected devices, including changes you may later want to undo. Keep a separate backup for that reason.

Export a separate memoir backup before major library changes and keep it in a location you control. The website’s tools do not participate in iCloud Sync.

Backup & Migration. Choose the action that matches your task, and keep the original backup until you have checked the result. View full screenshot
