A Place Recalled
Capture a place, return to it later

Capture a place. Return to it later.

A small ambient-sound app for places that matter. Set the phone down at a coffee shop, a kitchen, a beach, a library. The app records the room (the dishwasher, the distant traffic, the pages of someone else's book), finds a clean loop point, and saves it. Months later, tap the memory. The room you remember plays on a quiet loop.

What it does

  • Tap to capture. Up to 30 seconds of ambient audio.
  • The app finds a clean loop point and applies a gentle polish.
  • Listen to the candidate; tap Keep when it feels right.
  • Optional: each capture stores its coordinate and renders a paperback-styled map snapshot.
  • Browse memories chronologically, by name, or pinned on a map.
  • Multiple captures of the same place stack as visits: a coffee shop in March and again in August become one growing record.
  • Long-press play for a sleep timer (15 / 30 / 60 minutes) with a smooth fade-out.
  • Syncs across your iPhone and iPad through your private iCloud account.

What it doesn't do

  • No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs.
  • No account, no login.
  • No push notifications, no streaks, no reminders to record.
  • No mood tags, no quality scores, no "best match" badges.
  • No social features, no sharing, no public feed.
  • No editing tools after capture. The loop is the loop.

Quietly private

All audio capture and processing happens on your device. The voice pre-check, the loop-finder, the map recoloring: local, every step. Nothing is sent to a server. Audio and locations live on your device and in your private iCloud container; sthreelabs has no access.
