timbre

keep the sound

We keep ten thousand photos and almost never keep a voice. A voice is the fastest trace of a person to disappear from memory, and the quickest to bring them back.

timbre keeps the sound of the people and places you love. Press and hold, and it records a short spoken moment together with the room around it. The recording becomes a small living stone, colored by what it heard and sized by how long you listened, that settles into a timeline. Over months, the timeline becomes a warm field of colored stones: a map of a life in sound.

Years later you can still hear exactly how someone said your name.

What it does

• Press and hold. A living form blooms with your voice while you record.
• Words appear as you speak, transcribed on your phone, kept with the sound.
• Stones take their color from the world: speech glows amber, rain pulls teal.
• Tap a sentence in the transcript and playback jumps there.
• Feel a recording through your fingertips. The heartbeat traces its shape.
• Gather stones by person and place: forty-one minutes of Mom.
• On This Day brings a kept moment back to your home screen, quietly.

What it doesn't

No account. No feed. No streaks. No ads. Nothing leaves your phone: transcription happens on-device, recordings stay yours, and there is no server to send them to. Everything works in airplane mode, from the first press.
