Fabric Helps You Remember Where You Were, And With Whom
Just a few years ago nobody could’ve thought we’d have the number of options when it comes to apps and our online life. Starting from Facebook and spreading into every other social media app, this new world we live in is keen on giving us a lot of opportunities to save picture, thoughts, and memories.
Be it by tagging photos over Facebook or Instagram and your Camera Roll, you’re always tagging, saving and leaving memories somewhere in your phone. Unless you’re obsessed with keeping track of things across multiple apps, there’s no way to actually put all of these memories into one place. Well up until now, there wasn’t.
A Journal For The 21st Century
A lot of us have had journals when we were kids. Every day we’d write about some interesting things that happened in school or at home, and it served as a way for you to keep track of what’s happening in your life. It was a great time-killer, and also helped kids deal with some hardships of adulthood, like love problems or school issues.
Today, when everything is pretty much based online, our journals are our Facebook, Instagram, and similar accounts. They save the things we do every day, and Facebook even incorporated an app that shows you how much time has passed since some of your posts, just so you can reminisce about the times behind you.
Remember The Moments
Fabric (Fabric.Me) is an app that aims to help us remember things better, and have a digital journal on our phones so we can always take a break from life and see where we were a few days, months or years ago. It’s a brilliant idea, and it really puzzles us as to why it wasn’t made into an app before.
The way it works is that it automatically syncs with your Facebook, Instagram and Camera Roll on your phone, and gets access to your photos, which it then spreads out onto the map of the world. You can see where you were for each photo, and by scrolling through the dates, you can even see what day the memory is from. Fabric will also track the people you interact with, so you can see when and where you interacted with the person you’re inquiring about.
The social features of the app are also something pretty innovative and smart. You can add friends to the app, and by doing that you’ll enable the app to track your relationship with that person, be it by places you’ve been together, or photos where both of you are tagged. This is pretty useful when trying to remember all of the great times you’ve had with your friends, and just as useful for making memories that won’t go away anytime soon.
A World Of Possibilities
If you’ve got a thing for running, cycling or long walks, you can see all of the places you’ve been to in the date of your choosing, as well as the distance you’ve covered that day. This adds to all of the other features, so you have moments you’ve experienced that day, the people you’ve experienced them with, the distance you’ve gone and the photos you’ve taken, all in one place.
We admit that your digital journal can’t be written like a diary and locked behind a comically tiny lock, but we believe that the features that Fabric offers are truly innovative, and offer enormous potential for development above everything else. Imagine asking the app something like “where was I 6 months ago” and the app tells you exactly that. In the world full of self-destructing messages on Snapchat and recently Instagram, we really want to preserve some things, and that’s why fabric is here to help us make a map of everything that matters to us, and keeps it for as long as we want to.
