Everything we built,
and the few things we didn’t.
Most apps are a list of features. DailyMoment is more like a list of decisions — about what to include, and what to leave out. Here’s both.
The essentials.
One moment a day
You share one video, audio, or photo each day. After that, the post button goes dim. Tomorrow brings a fresh chance.
Inner Circle
Up to eighteen people who see your most personal moments. Like the close-friends list, except it’s the default — not the exception.
The daily prompt
Every morning, a small, gentle prompt arrives: “Something you almost missed.” “A texture.” Use it, or ignore it.
Audio letters
Voice memos as correspondence. Up to three minutes. Pen-pals with microphones, basically.
Hubs & meet-ups
Community-organized groups around a shared interest, neighborhood, or activity. Most have an in-person component.
Replays
This day, last year. Your past moments, surfaced gently. No metrics attached.
Quiet hours
Notifications respect your sleep, your dinners, and your hobbies. Default on. Easily customised.
Three audiences
Public · Inner Circle · Private. The first two are most people’s default. The third is for memory-keeping.
Dating mode
An opt-in layer for meeting new people. Verified IDs, mandatory cooldowns, off-platform pressure warnings.
And the things we left behind.
Every absence here was deliberate. Some were hard. Some weren’t.
No infinite scroll.
There’s a finite number of moments today, and you can see all of them. When you reach the end, you reach the end.
No public like counts.
You can give a moment a small mark of appreciation. The author sees it. No one else does. Hearts as private as letters.
No follower numbers.
You have an Inner Circle and a circle. Sizes are visible to you, not to anyone scrolling past.
No public engagement metrics.
Views, plays, shares — your numbers, your business. Other people’s, theirs.
No advertising.
The platform is funded by Moment+ subscriptions and the occasional brand prompt (disclosed, optional, run for one week max).
No third-party trackers.
One analytics tool, server-side, anonymized. No pixels, no fingerprinting, no cross-app linkage.
Quiet, by design.
A few details about how we treat your moments and your data — beyond what’s in the policy.
