Preserve a memory
Save the story behind an item — title, narrative, photos, optional voice note — so the meaning survives whatever you choose to do with the physical object.
Where: Item detail page, and from the Memories tab
When to use it
Use it for items where the story matters more than the object — your grandfather's pocket watch that doesn't run any more, a child's drawing, a ticket stub from a meaningful day. Once the story is preserved, you can choose any outcome for the item itself, including releasing it.
How to use it
- 1
Open the item. Tap 'Save as memory'.
- 2
Give the memory a title. The item's name is suggested as a starting point.
- 3
Write the story (optional). Even a short note matters more than nothing.
- 4
Add an associated person if relevant — 'Dad', 'Grandma Rose'.
- 5
The item's photos auto-fill as the memory's photos. You can add more or remove them.
If you don't want a visual at all, just remove all photos before saving.
- 6
Tap 'Preserve this memory'.
