Upgrades and New Features

LifeScope allows anyone to explore their personal history.

Search and leverage your entire digital and social footprint, while streamlining all of your data. Sort your history into the stories you care about.

LifeScope is an open platform for personal data where ownership is returned to the user.

LifeScope Native Apps

The internet landscape is a vast, overwhelming and broken terrain of data. It is hopeless for anyone to create a complete and up to date accounting, let alone search and organize their own data. Computers are organized around apps instead of us.

Find LifeScope on Google Play Apps, Windows Store, Apple iOS and macOS App Stores

LifeScope will be the first app letting anyone see their history in one place. A real digital memory.
