You inherited or collected years of family photos
Scan selected folders into a local media index, then attach people, albums and descriptions so the archive becomes understandable instead of just large.
Private memory archive on your Mac
Memories Saver
Photos and videos keep the moment. Memories Saver helps keep the story around them: who is there, where it belongs, what happened, and how to browse it years later without changing the original files.
Why it exists
Your photo folders are not the same thing as your memory archive
A folder full of files can tell you file names and dates. It cannot remember that this was grandma's birthday, that the lake trip belongs to one family album, or that one photo should be shared without camera metadata. Memories Saver gives those details a place.
Use cases
Three moments where Memories Saver earns its place
You want a browsable album outside the app
Create HTML gallery documents for albums, people or years. The generated pages carry context while the original media tree remains the source of truth.
You need to share safely
Export JPEG copies without EXIF metadata when you want to share an image without exposing camera or location details stored inside the original file.
Catalog without moving originals
Build an index around the files you already have
Memories Saver reads media metadata from folders you choose and stores the app's working data locally on your Mac. It is meant for organizing knowledge around your files, not for taking ownership of your originals.
- Keep original pictures and videos untouched.
- Browse the collection as thumbnails, tables, albums, people and years.
- Add descriptions and context that file names cannot carry.
HTML gallery documents
Turn a private archive into something people can browse
When an album is ready, generate an HTML document so the story can be browsed outside the editing workspace. This is useful for family collections, event archives, travel memories or any collection where the structure matters.
The Modern External Media idea keeps browsing fast while preserving the relationship to the original media tree when paths can be resolved.
Backup, restore and privacy
The archive work should not be fragile
All the effort you put into people, albums and descriptions deserves a backup path. Memories Saver includes backup and restore tools, plus EXIF-free JPEG export for safer sharing.
- Backup and restore app data.
- Remove selected records when needed.
- Create shareable JPEG files without EXIF metadata.
For the archive you keep meaning to organize
Give your photos and videos a memory layer without surrendering the originals.
