Press kit

Efimera, a journal for things worth keeping.

Efimera is a journal for iPad, iPhone and iPhone Duo. A photo, a ticket, a doodle, a sticker, a few words: whatever a day leaves behind goes on a page of your own, printed, taped and stuck on as if it were paper.

About

The photo shows the lake. The page keeps the rest: the train ticket, the sticker from the bakery, the doodle of the thing you ate, three words in your own hand. Efimera takes its name from ephemera, the little paper things made to last a day that people keep anyway, because they take them straight back.

Every journal is a book with real pages to turn. Photos come out as prints, held down with washi tape. Stickers come in finishes that catch the light as you tilt the phone, holographic, glossy vinyl and puffy, or matt like kraft paper, and any word can become a die-cut sticker. When a journal is full, it goes on the shelf next to the others.

Features

  • Journals with pages that turn like paper: one page at a time on iPhone and iPad in portrait, a spread on iPad in landscape and on the open iPhone Duo.
  • Photos as prints in many formats, to tape down, rotate and lay one over another.
  • Sticker packs with holographic, vinyl, puffy and kraft finishes; lettering that turns your words into stickers.
  • Text in typewriter, serif and more, doodles with Apple Pencil or a finger.
  • Covers chosen when a journal is made, a shelf for the finished ones.
  • On iPhone Duo, the journal opens across the two halves like a book.
  • Journals sync through iCloud and can be shared with the people in them.

Privacy

Journals stay on the person's devices and in their iCloud. There is no account besides iCloud, and the app includes no analytics.

Assets

Screenshots on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo in English and Italian, landscape images for articles, and a video of Efimera on iPhone Duo are in the press folder.
