LOCUS
"HOW DO YOU TRACE YOUR LIFE?"
Through a timeline?
Through the places you have lived, returned to, or passed through?
Through a handful of moments that never really left you?
A life is not only shaped by events.
It is also made of routes, seasons, light, weather, cities, and the feelings attached to them.
All the clear mornings, scorching afternoons, and dim nightfalls you have walked through, in one city after another.
As writing and photos keep accumulating in this digital age, I kept wondering if there was a better way to hold these traces together.
LOCUS began with a simple fascination:
what if a photo, a place, a moment, and a feeling could stay together?
LOCUS is a mobile app for tracing life through photos, time, places, and writing.
Each page begins with one photo, then unfolds through its time, place, and the writing you keep with it.
Not a generic photo album.
Not just a map.
Not just a journal.
A quieter way to revisit where you were, when it happened, and how it felt.
LOCUS centers on timeline, map, and the writing you keep for a chosen photo.
Each page holds one image together with its moment, place, and feeling.
It stays intentionally light, understandable, and under your control.
Your data belongs to you.
