Momento: cost, fit and limits
Momento is an iPhone life-logging app made by d3i Limited that collects notes, photos, videos, places and people, plus activity from social networks and apps, into a personal timeline stored mainly on the device, aimed at iPhone owners.
What to know first
Momento is a diary for iPhone that records notes, photos, videos, places, people and events and automatically collects activity from social networks and apps. Application data is stored locally on the device and optionally in iCloud. The homepage links the App Store download and shows no pricing. It names no AI feature. The privacy policy gives an address in England, which is the basis for the United Kingdom label.

Who Momento is best for
People who want an automatic life log
Momento pulls in activity from social networks and apps, so a day's record builds without manual typing, and the diary fills even on days the user writes nothing.
iPhone owners who want local storage
Application data is stored on the device and optionally in iCloud, not on Momento's own servers, per the privacy policy, which limits what the vendor itself holds.
Users who track people and places
The app records places, people and events alongside notes, photos and videos, so a moment can be found later by who was there or where it happened.
Momento plans and pricing
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| App Store download | Not published on the vendor page | The homepage links the App Store listing and shows no pricing page, so the price sits in the store listing and is not verified here. |
| In-app purchases | Not stated on the vendor page | The homepage does not say whether the app sells subscriptions or one-off purchases, and no premium tier is named on the pages we read. |
| iCloud storage | Uses the user's iCloud | Optional iCloud storage of application data on the user's own account; no separate Momento charge for this storage is stated on the pages. |

What Momento does
- Notes, photos and videos
- Entries can combine text with photos and videos, so a moment can be recorded as a note, a picture or a clip, whichever suits the situation at hand.
- Places, people and events
- Each moment can be tied to where it happened, who was there and which event it belonged to, which turns the diary into something that can be browsed.
- Automatic collection
- Activity from social networks and apps is collected automatically, per the homepage, so the timeline gathers material the user posted elsewhere without copying it by hand.
- Local and iCloud storage
- Application data is stored locally and optionally in iCloud, which keeps the diary on the user's own devices and iCloud account rather than on a Momento-run service or server.
- Legal pages
- Privacy and terms pages are linked from the homepage, which gives a buyer something to read before installing, unlike some other vendors in this category that link none.
How Momento handles your data
Momento's privacy policy says application data is stored locally on the device and optionally in iCloud, and not on the vendor's own servers. Data is kept as long as necessary to provide the services, with no numeric period. Other data may be accessed around the world, and no Momento server location is stated. The policy does not say whether content is used for AI training, and no certifications are stated. The policy gives an England address for d3i Limited, which is the basis for the United Kingdom label here.
Where Momento falls short in practice
- No pricing shown. Only an App Store link is shown on the homepage, so cost and any subscription are unknown from the pages we read, and a buyer must open the store listing to find out.
- Automatic collection widens the data. Pulling activity from social networks and apps is part of the product, which means the diary can hold material the user never typed and might not want kept.
- iPhone only and no AI. The homepage links only the App Store and describes an iPhone app, and it names no AI feature, so Android users and people wanting AI replies look elsewhere.

Alternatives to Momento
Momento: common questions
Does Momento use AI?
The homepage names no AI feature. The feature that stands out is the automatic collection of activity from social networks and apps into a timeline, which the page presents as the core of the product rather than as intelligence applied to the writing.
Where does Momento store my data?
Application data is stored locally on the device and optionally in iCloud, per the privacy policy. The policy says it is not stored on Momento's own servers, and no server location is stated for any other data the vendor may handle.
What does Momento cost?
The homepage shows no pricing and links only to the App Store download. The price or any in-app purchase appears in the store listing, which we did not open for this review, so no amount is given on this page.
Is Momento available on Android?
The homepage links only the App Store, and the product is described as an iPhone app. No Android version is mentioned on the pages we read, so Android users should look at Daylio, Penzu or Diaro, which list Google Play versions.
Who makes Momento?
The privacy policy names d3i Limited and gives an address in England. The United Kingdom label on this page comes from that address, not from a separate headquarters line, and the homepage itself names no company, so that policy is the only source for it.
