Step Inside Your Memories — Beautiful Memories + 2026 Roadmap
Beautiful Memories is a redesigned mentor memory system for AI journaling. Your key moments become Memory Orbs—each carrying the moment and the emotions you felt—so reflection feels lighter, clearer, and more delightful. Plus: what we’re building in 2026.

Dear Life Noter,
Happy 2026! This is the first email from Life Note this year, and I'm excited to share the updates that just came in with you all, as well as what you can look forward to in 2026.
Introducing Beautiful Memories
Beautiful Memories is a redesign of how your mentors remember you.
As you journal, Life Note captures key moments from your entries and organizes them into different types—whether it's a memory of gratitude, a decision, a connection, a challenge, or a breakthrough (a total of 10+ types) —mentors can now understand your life in a more humane way.
Also, the memories are awaiting you as Memory Orbs in a gallery, so you can revisit them anytime. Each orb carries the moment and the 1–2 emotions you felt, making reflection feel lighter and more delightful than rereading long entries.
The memory orb design is inspired by the movie Inside Out 2. The idea of revisiting my memories through an orb has stuck with me since I first watched the movie, and I'm really excited to bring it into Life Note as this brings us closer to our vision: an inner universe shaped by your journaling, where self-awareness and growth feel more immersive, fun, and useful.
More memory upgrades are coming, but for now, I’d truly love to hear what you think!
2026 Product Roadmap: What to Look Forward To
Life Note aspires to be a sanctuary of our inner life, and 2026 is about making it feel more alive—more rooted in wisdom, more personal to you, and easier to return to when life gets loud. Here’s what we’re planning to build next.
1) Learning From Roots
A mentor shouldn’t sound wise by accident—you should be able to see where the wisdom comes from. We'll be working on something we are calling the Wisdom Sources now: you'll be able to see the deeper roots behind a mentor’s words and dive deeper into the stories, worldviews, and values that shaped a response, making it valuable both emotionally and intellectually.
2) Designed Around You
Life Note should feel less like an app and more like your inner universe.
- We will have higher-quality tools for reflection and self-understanding, and they will be more useful in daily life and work.
- Richer mentor memory that captures your core patterns and your many dimensions. With beautiful memories, we've made some progress in how we capture memories, but we're going to continue building a self-actualization-driven memory system!
3) A More Integral Journaling Experience
Many of you mentioned that you'd love to bring more facets of your life into Life Note, and we'll make it happen this year. You'll have more ways to capture life as it actually happens.
- Adding photos, handwritten journal support, etc
- Better ways to share your wisdom and moments with friends/family.
- Seasonal Reflection: zoom out, spot patterns, and stay in tune with natural cycles. I believe this, coupled with Weekly + Yearly reflection, Life Note is truly a wise companion that can help you throughout the year.
4) More Secure & Private
We'll continue to upgrade the protection and make your data truly yours (more to share in the near future).
5) Small Delights (That Add Up)
The quality-of-life upgrades you’ll feel every day.
- Dark Mode on mobile.
- Widgets so you can bring Life Note to your phone screens.
- Faster experience, kinder details, and more reliable.
6) Goals, But More Joyful
We'll also make the existing goal feature feel more intuitive and joyful to use. Growth should feel satisfying—not like homework or an endless target to be hit.
- Expect a better way to set goals and document progress with joy and knowledge.
- Guided perspectives for motivation and clarity.
- Achieve more with less struggle—and keep it fun!
This is a long e-mail, but if you have anything you want to suggest, join our Discord or book a time with me!
Namaste,

走進你的回憶 — Beautiful Memories + 2026 產品規劃
親愛的 Life Noter，
2026 新年快樂！這是 Life Note 今年的第一封信。今天要與你分享剛上線的功能，以及 2026 你可以期待的方向。
介紹 Beautiful Memories
Beautiful Memories 是我們將「導師如何記得你」的重新想像。
當你寫日記時，Life Note 會從你的文字中捕捉重要時刻，並整理成不同「時刻類型」—不論是感恩、決定、連結、挑戰、突破（共 10+ 種類型）—導師因此能用更有人味、更連貫的方式理解你的旅途。
這些回憶將會以 Memory Orbs（回憶球） 的形式保存，每一顆回憶球都承載那個時刻，以及你當下的 1–2 種情緒，這會讓回顧變得更輕鬆與有趣，你在短暫的時間內就可以回顧許多曾發生過的事。
回憶球的設計靈感來自《腦筋急轉彎 2》。我第一次看到電影裡「用一顆水晶球重訪回憶」這概念時，就一直忘不掉；今天也很開心能把它帶進 Life Note 裡。這讓我們更接近我們對 Life Note 可能性的想像：一個由你日記塑造出的「內在宇宙」，讓自我覺察與成長變得更沉浸、有趣，也更實用。
更多記憶系統的升級也在路上，有想法？請來信告訴我分享！
2026 產品路線圖：接下來你可以期待什麼
Life Note 希望成為你內心世界的庇護所。而在 2026年，我們也會讓 Life Note 「更有生命力」：可追朔的智慧、更圍繞你的設計、與完整的日記體驗。以下是我們正在規劃的方向。
1) 智慧源頭
導師不該只是「講得很有道理」—你應該能看得見智慧從哪裡來。我們正在打造一個叫做「智慧源頭」的功能：你可以追溯導師文字背後更深的脈絡，往下探索支撐這段回覆的故事、世界觀、價值觀，讓回覆更有情緒價值，也能帶來更多知性上的碰撞與力量。
2) 圍繞你而設計
Life Note 應該越來越不像一個 app，而更像是你的內在宇宙。今年我們會推出更高品質、也更能落地在日常生活與工作的自我反思與自我理解工具。同時，我們會持續把「導師記憶」做得更深：捕捉你的「核心模式」與「多重面向」。Beautiful Memories 是重要的一步—但我們會繼續打造一套以「自我實現」為核心的記憶系統。
3) 更完整的日記體驗
很多人給回饋說，希望能把生活的更多面放進 Life Note—今年我們會讓它發生。
你將能用更多方式記錄真實生活：
- 加入照片、支援手寫日記捕捉等
- 更好的方式把你的智慧與日記片段分享給朋友／家人
- 季節回顧：與自然節律同步去品味自己的生活，搭配既有的每週回顧與年度回顧，這讓 Life Note 更接近一位滿足不同需求的智慧夥伴。
4) 更安全、更私密
我們會持續升級防護，讓你的資料真正只屬於你（更多細節之後會分享）。
5) 每天都能感到的體驗升級
- 手機版深夜模式
- iOS 小工具：把 Life Note 帶到你的手機桌面
- 更快、更穩、更貼心的細節與可靠性
6) 目標系統，但更有喜悅
我們也會讓現有的目標功能更直覺、更好用、更讓人想持續。成長應該是有成就感的，而不是像作業一樣，或永遠追不完的 KPI。
- 更好的方式設定目標、用更愉悅的方式記錄進展
- 更有引導感的視角，帶來動力與清晰
- 用更少的拉扯，做到更多，保持好玩
如果你有任何建議，歡迎加入我們的 Discord，或直接跟我約時間聊聊。
Namaste，
Daniel W. Chen｜Life Note 創辦人
