Memories is a SwiftUI-based journaling app designed for reflection, mood tracking, and mindfulness. Built during my Swift Student Challenge training, this app helps users log emotions, rate their day, and cherish meaningful moments — all through a calming, minimalist UI.
- Daily Memory Logging: Record your thoughts and experiences with a mood-based rating system.
- Rich Descriptions: Write a brief "nutshell" and add deeper reflections if needed.
- Motivational Prompts: Custom messages based on how your day went.
- Dark Mode Support: Seamless visual transitions based on device settings.
- Export to .txt: Take your memories elsewhere with one tap.
- Search & Filter: Quickly revisit entries using keywords or ratings.
- Offline-First: Uses UserDefaults for local memory storage.
- Beautiful UI: Pastel colors, clean fonts, and soft animations for a pleasant journaling experience.
