Welcome to Collective Memory: Real-Time, Real-Life Sharing Collective Memory (CM) is a first app in a new breed - Reality Mappers. CM is all about authenticity and the spontaneous moments of life. It's a place where only real-time photos are allowed, encouraging you to share life as you see it— unstaged, unfiltered, and undisguised. Authentic Capture With CM, you can only take pictures through the app—no uploads from your gallery. This ensures every photo is genuine, anchored in the now with automatic time and location tags. It's about capturing life in its purest form, whether it’s a quiet morning, an unexpected smile, or a street scene that caught your eye. Connect Through Real Moments Every photo you take opens a door to new connections. Our platform uses these images to link you with people who have shared similar moments.

Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 13 screenshots above are Collective Memory's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Collective Memory runs a dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #7C7C7C) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story.

Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
