What would make a private life app worth keeping for years?

I built Trace after realizing that my journal, reminders, photos, and notes about people were all telling different parts of the same story.

Trace brings memories, people, to-dos, goals, birthdays, and anniversaries into one private timeline. It works offline or through your own iCloud, and supports English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Before launch, I d love to hear from the Product Hunt community: what would make a private life app useful enough that you d still want it five years from now? Effortless capture, better resurfacing, stronger privacy or something else?

I also have 30 six-month Pro codes for early testers. If you d like one, leave a comment no upvote required.
