Why We Built MyChapters
We loved the idea of capturing one second every day. We just didn't love paying monthly fees forever to keep our own memories.
The Problem We Saw
Daily video journaling is a beautiful practice. Capturing one second each day creates something magical over time: a living record of your actual life, not just the highlights.
But the existing apps had a problem. They locked core features behind subscriptions. Want to keep your memories? Pay monthly. Forever. Stop paying, and accessing your own content becomes difficult or impossible.
That felt wrong to us. Your memories shouldn't come with recurring fees. You shouldn't need to rent access to your own life.
Our Solution
MyChapters is built on a simple principle: buy once, own forever. Every core feature, from daily capture to video compilation, is included in a one-time purchase.
Your videos are stored locally on your device. No cloud required. No account required. No internet connection required. Your phone, your memories, your control.
For those who want cloud backup and cross-device sync, we offer that as an optional subscription. But it's truly optional. The app works completely without it.
What We Believe
Your Memories, Your Rules
We believe your personal moments belong to you. No subscriptions required to access what you create. No cloud uploads unless you choose them.
Privacy First
Your videos stay on your device by default. We never see your content, never sell your data, and never will.
Simplicity Over Features
We focus on doing one thing exceptionally well: helping you capture and compile daily moments with zero friction.
