Muisto

Your photo library, bound into books.

A book for every trip, year and season, turned by hand page by page, in the style you choose.

Coming soon to iPhone

Muisto means memory

It’s Finnish for a memory you keep, the kind you hold in your hands.

It opens like a book

Endpapers, a title page, and a photo on every page after.

Storybook

Once upon a time

A line about each photo, written on your iPhone by Apple Intelligence.

Passport

Stamped at every stop

Places and dates come from the photos themselves, stamped where you took them.

Stamp Album

Every photo a stamp

Mounted on black album leaves, with hinges, perforations and the odd postmark.

Star Atlas

Charted in gold

Coordinates, dates in Roman numerals, and your photo at the centre of the sky.

Cyanotype

Sun prints in Prussian blue

Brushed blue prints on cotton paper, with pencilled notes beneath.

Riso Zine

Two inks, off register

Big type and halftones, printed a little out of line on purpose.

Turn the page yourself

The page follows your finger: lift a corner, let it roll, and it lands with the sound of real paper, recorded from real books.

Title page

Drag a page corner, or tap a page’s edge.

Fourteen ways to bind it

From a gallery monograph to a pop-up book. Each style has its own paper, type and cover, so the same photos feel new in every one. Pick a book from the shelf.

It finds the books in your photos

Muisto reads your library and binds it as it goes: a book for every trip, named after the places you went, and one for every year, season and month. To make your own, choose a place, a time or what’s in the photos, and Muisto finds them, picks the best and puts them in chapters.

Recent trips

Named after the towns you visited, once your iPhone is online to look them up.

On this day

Seven photos from this day in 2019, 2022 and 2024.

Years

Every year as a book, thicker the more photos it holds.

Day paper and night paper

Cream laid paper by day. By night, the black pages of an old photo album, chalk-white type and gilt corners on the prints.

No account, nothing collected

Muisto has no account and collects nothing. Your photos stay in your library, and the books are made on your iPhone. To put a name to a trip, it asks Apple Maps which town a photo was taken in.
