Life moves fast. Between work, family responsibilities, and endless to-do lists, we're often running just to keep up. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and before we know it, so much time has slipped by--- important events unrecorded, half-remembered, possibly gone.

We all know journaling could help. It captures memories, helps us better understand our feelings, and leaves something meaningful behind. But for me, when I was already stretched thin, sitting down to write felt impossible. Where would I start? What should I include? How could I squeeze in the time?

​

I wanted to capture important moments and milestones in my life, but every time I tried, I'd stare at a blank page, overwhelmed and paralyzed by choice. One day it hit me: we have so much at our fingertips on our mobile devices—photos, calendars, endless data. Why weren't we using this technology to pull together the things that happen in our day in an easier way? I imagined an app that could help—one that would gather photos and calendar events, ask a few thoughtful questions, and create journal entries in just a few minutes.

​

There was one minor roadblock, though. I'm not a developer. As I started exploring options to build an app, I had a harder time than I thought I would finding the resources to help bring this idea to reality. So I took a leap: I decided to try building it myself, using AI as a resource and teaching tool.

And it worked!

My vision came to life. What started as an idea and an unexpected journey into learning new things grew into something that I think might help others too. I've loved watching this concept turn into a reality. My hope now is that TetherTime makes it a little easier for you to preserve what matters most.
