The song
diary app.

A song diary is the simplest honest record of a life: one song, one date, one place, one feeling at a time. Where a regular diary asks you to summarise a day, a song diary only asks what was playing — and the rest of the memory follows on its own.

What goes in a song diary entry?

• The song — pulled from the Apple Music catalogue with its real cover art, or a custom entry for mixtapes and rarities.
• The first listen — the date you first heard it. A year or a season is enough; the diary builds a timeline from it.
• The place — Shibuya Crossing, a Queens kitchen, the back seat of a specific car.
• The feeling — a sentence or five hundred words on what it meant.
• The evidence — up to five photos or videos that were near the song in your life.

Song diary vs. listening history

Spotify Wrapped and Last.fm tell you what you played and how often. A song diary records what no scrobbler can see: that you drove the long way home so the track could finish, that it was raining the first time, that the kettle and the chorus arrived at the same time in your grandmother's kitchen. Frequency is data. A diary is memory.

Keeping a song diary with Music Memory

Music Memory is a song diary app for iOS and Android built around exactly this ritual. Beyond single entries, it lets you:

• Backfill entries for songs you heard years ago, so the diary covers your whole life — not just from today forward.
• Group entries into collections and export any collection back to Apple Music as a playable playlist.
• Keep a gentle daily streak — one song a day, or ten.
• Optionally share an entry to a song's public feed and read how other people remember the same track. Everything is private unless you opt in.
