UNTIL — memory with an expiry

A product that gives temporary information a lifespan while keeping control in the user’s hands.

The project

UNTIL begins with an everyday insight: not everything you save should become an archive. Some information is useful only until a particular moment.

The product turns that idea into a local, offline experience with clear expiry, limited recovery and quick capture from across iOS.

From challenge to outcome

The decisions that shaped the work.

  • 01

    Challenge

    Manage different content types for a limited time without creating another permanent archive or promising behaviour iOS cannot guarantee.

  • 02

    Approach

    Logical expiry independent of background execution, 24-hour recovery, protected containers and no account or proprietary backend.

  • 03

    Outcome

    A coherent iPhone app with extensions, widgets, local privacy and a dedicated verification suite.

  • iOS
  • Local-first
  • Privacy
  • Product design
