Turn Your Photos Into Memories Worth Revisiting
4 followers
Kadu is a personal memory journal for iPhone that turns your photo library into stories worth revisiting. It discovers moments in your photos and videos, lets you add notes and voice recordings, and brings your memories to life through a timeline, cinematic slideshows with music, and a photo-book view. Organize entries with tags, search, and categories, and keep selected memories private with PIN protection.
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm an independent developer building Kadu, and the idea came from a simple observation: we take thousands of photos to remember our lives, but how often do we actually go back and relive those moments?
Our camera rolls are full of meaningful experiences mixed with screenshots, receipts, and random pictures. The moments that matter are still there, but over time, they get buried.
Kadu is a personal memory journal that turns your photo library into stories worth revisiting. It's somewhere between a photo gallery and a personal diary, designed to help you preserve not just the pictures, but the stories behind them.
Here's what you can do with it:
Discover memories automatically. Kadu finds groups of related photos and videos in your library and suggests potential memories you can save.
Browse your life through a timeline. Revisit photo collages, videos, journal entries, and audio recordings in chronological order.
Turn moments into slideshow movies. Watch your photos and videos come together in short movies with background music, animations, and adjustable playback speed.
Flip through your Memory Book. Explore your memories in a book-like layout with Polaroid-style photos and the stories alongside them.
Capture more than images. Create rich journal entries combining photos, videos, voice recordings, and text.
Keep everything organized. Use categories, tags, links, search, and filters to find specific memories.
Keep personal moments private. Lock selected categories with a PIN, with an optional Fake PIN feature to hide protected categories.
Bring your existing journal with you. Import entries from Apple Journal and Day One.
Kadu is designed to help you do more than store photos. It's a place to preserve the stories behind them and make it easier to revisit the moments that shaped your life.

I'm building Kadu as a solo project, and I'd really value your honest feedback.
I'm especially curious about two things:
Which way would make you most likely to revisit your memories: a timeline, a slideshow movie with music, or a photo book?
What would make a personal memory journal like Kadu something you'd want to use for years?
Thanks for checking it out!
