Memorylocker is a service that allows users to organize, store, and manage their private memories through tagging and metadata. It aims to help users remember important moments that get lost amid overwhelming information. Users can store files and choose custom items to memorialize special periods, working with artists. Memorylocker prioritizes privacy, encrypting user data and requiring approval for others to access memories. It combines aspects of file storage, social media, and e-commerce to create a personal space for preserving life experiences.

1. Memorylocker is a service that allows users to organize their private, intimate memories,
store them, get back to them and make them into something new.
The founding idea is that people need new ways to store and manage their past, the
overwhelming ammount of information they gather makes it harder to remember the
things that really matter.
Memorylocker will act as a personal file locker that allows adding tags and metadata to
every file uploaded. Every user will decide what value does a file and the memories related
to it hold and add some distinctive information about it. A photo might have been taken
while a favourite song was playing, a diary entry written accompanied by the smell of
strawberries. “Take a picture of the sound” will no longer be a joke, it will become a way to
build vivid and real memories.
The tags and metadata will allow building maps and graphs of memories. Typing in
“grandma’s lakehouse” will bring back every piece of information a user uploaded over the
years - childhood photos, apple pie recipies and a video of that one time that the kids fell
out of the treehouse. The users will be able to get unique and unexpected information.
While searching for their wedding song they might learn that it also accompanied them
when they got into college and got that promotion. A hell of a way to start believing in
fate, huh?
But managing tags and facilitating access isn’t all that MemoryLocker is about. Special
moments require special treatment, you might want to get a keepsake. MemoryLocker
will make that happen through The Box. Every user will be able to choose a unique,
customized item reminding them of a part of their life. Let’s say a user really wants to
remember the summer of 2011. He might have had the best holiday of his life, learned to
knit and met a bunch of great people. Memory Locker will point him to an artist or a
designer that will be able to mix his memories into one single item. Knit a scene form an
important video? Make a designer cookbook with all the meals enjoyed together? It’s up to
the user and the artist to decide about the outcome. A handy tool will allow users to
review various creators, upload themes for artists to pick if they get a brilliant idea and
create portfolios to facilitate the choice.
MemoryLocker will be all about privacy and intimacy. Users will not have to worry about
giving their personal information to third parties - their virtual drives will be encrypted so

2. that they will be the only ones able to see their content - the service administrator will be
provided only with tags and metadata for processing purposes. The user will also be able
to pick the option to store all the files on their own hard drive if they want to keep it really
safe. The designers and artists will only gain access to the user’s content after his
approval.
MemoryLocker will incorporate design features and functionality of file locker services,
social media and e-commerce services to focus on one single idea - people want to keep
their best memories. Users can use it the same way they use any other file locker or online
storage service - along with dedicated tools for every type of content. MemoryLockers
takes a step ahead by allowing them to add extra info about it - even the phone bill might
come with some extra memories - perhaps it was opened while the user’s child took it’s
first step? Tagging allows the user to change bureaucracy into a heartwarming event. An
everyday service turned into more than just a diary that doesn’t need much extra effort
from the user.
It also differs from social media - although it acts as a way to create your own timeline it’s
purpose isn’t sharing every moment of your life. It’s keeping it for yourself that matters.
Although there are many services allowing people to sell and buy craft items most of them
are about design and lifestyle. MemoryLocker will be different - it will be all about the
user. Not only as a PR slogan. It will REALLY be about the person, his or hers memories and
a personal relation with a designer or an artist.
