It has been a while since our last newsletter in November, and DoubleMemory has changed quite a bit since then. We released DoubleMemory v2, including two new ways to keep a growing library organized:
- Saved Searches give you reusable, always-up-to-date views of the memories you care about, without sorting everything into folders.
- Auto Tags, powered by Apple Intelligence, which can be enabled individually for any saved search that can be used as tags, understand what you save and suggest useful tags automatically.
Together, they make organizing feel less like maintenance: Auto Tags add structure as you save, while Saved Searches turn that structure into useful collections.
Now, the latest update takes DoubleMemory v2 a step further. Until today, DoubleMemory helped you remember links and text. It can now remember images too.
You can quickly save an image from your clipboard or capture your latest iPhone screenshot. DoubleMemory runs OCR on the image, makes its text searchable, and uses that context to generate relevant Auto Tags with Apple Intelligence.

Capture an image in seconds
Open the quick-add menu and choose Last Screenshot or Insert Clipboard. The image joins your other memories without interrupting what you are doing.
Search what is inside the image
After capture, DoubleMemory extracts text from the image with OCR. That text becomes searchable and helps Auto Tags understand what the image is about.
You can review the OCR text, edit the generated tags, or add your own from the Info panel. Saved Searches can also use those tags to place the image into the right collection automatically.
Images also support Apple’s Live Text recognition, so you can select and copy text directly from the image whenever you need it.
A few ways to use photographic memory
Keep a visual library of design references, layouts, typography, and color.
Save a temporary screenshot before closing a tab, message, or disappearing screen.
Collect slides, diagrams, whiteboards, and passages for later research.
Remember receipts, confirmation screens, tickets, and shipping details.
Keep product ideas, recipes, places, books, and other things you want to revisit.
Capture error messages or setup steps, then find them later by searching for the text inside the screenshot.
Photographic memory works on Mac too, with the image and its recognized text available together in the detail view.
Looking ahead
Apple previewed iOS 27 and macOS 27 at WWDC on June 8, 2026. The developer betas are available now, with public releases expected later this year.
An upcoming DoubleMemory release will require iOS or iPadOS 26 and later, or macOS 26 and later. Older operating systems will no longer receive new DoubleMemory versions after that update.
Moving the minimum version forward will let us take fuller advantage of modern Liquid Glass navigation, build a more immersive detail view on Mac, and adopt newer WebView APIs. It also lets us remove compatibility code, simplify the app, and improve reliability as DoubleMemory grows.

Thank you for giving DoubleMemory more to remember.
P.S. I also recently released a new version of ZenJournal, my chat-like micro-journaling app. If you want a private journal that feels more like sending yourself a message than writing a formal diary entry, it is built to be the simple, logical option: open, type, done. Try ZenJournal on the App Store.
