The messages are in one app. The photographs are in another. The story belongs to you.
Bring selected records together, keep their originals and build an archive you can use for years to come.
Start with what matters most.
A family conversation. A folder of photographs. The correspondence from the year you moved abroad. Begin with one supported export or connection.
See what arrived.
A collection receipt shows received messages, files, dates and storage, with gaps that need attention. Those counts describe the material received; they do not certify a complete account history.
Keep the evidence.
The original attachment, recording or message stays connected to the memories built from it. Add a correction or recollection without silently rewriting the record.
A useful first result: the records from one important period, with a readable inventory and an independent export.
Why begin now?
Accounts change. Devices fail. The person who knows the story behind a photograph may be available to tell it today. Preserve the material you can still reach, and add its meaning while you remember.
