In one sentence

Eramio puts your family's events on a single timeline — each family member's column side by side, so what happened to everyone at the same time sits at the same height.

About

Time runs down the screen, and each family member — parents, children, even the dog — gets a column. Moments from the same day start at the same height, whoever they belong to. Looking at one photo, you see what everyone else was going through at that time. Three views, one tap apart, let you look at the same story in different ways: Photos, where every photo is a way back in; Titles, with dates on washi-tape labels, to see years at a glance; and Year Photos, the best shots of each year. Open a moment and Eramio shows how old each person in it was that day.

Why it was made

I wanted a timeline that lays out my family's moments as photos, side by side. I couldn't find one in the form I wanted, so I made it. Every family member has their own moments, but a family has one story — Eramio is for looking back on that one story together.

Design notes

The scroll is the app

Eramio is something you browse, so scrolling is treated as its foundation. Horizontal movement follows your finger exactly; vertical movement carries on with inertia. Both were tested and tuned again and again across iPhone sizes. The target: a tap responds within 0.1 seconds, and a sheet opens within 0.4 seconds.

Same day, same height

Dates can be a full date, a month and year, or just a year, so older memories have a place too. Each date becomes a point on one shared axis; empty stretches of time are compressed so the timeline never feels empty.

Respect for how families remember

In Japan, a face framed in black and white is the style of a memorial portrait. Eramio never puts black, white or gray rings around family members' faces. The sample family shows no faces at all — warmth comes from the scenes: a first bike ride, a puppy's first night home, a birthday cake.

Private by design

Eramio doesn't send your data anywhere; only purchases go through the App Store. Photos are copied in, location information is removed, the timeline is blurred in the app switcher, and exports are encrypted with a password you choose.
