Moonary: Photo Companion
Add writing, voice and attachments to photo Moments, then revisit them through a timeline, calendar or collection.
Keeping the context of family photographs or a trip
Moonary suits someone whose photographs need a little context to remain meaningful. Its documented workflow links a Moment to photos already in Apple Photos and adds the words or recordings that explain the occasion. The free allocation is enough to try a small collection before choosing Plus.
Keep in mind: Original-photo availability follows Apple Photos. Thumbnails, writing, recordings and imported file copies still use storage.

Choose a Moment worth explaining
Start with a few related photographs and add a title and the detail you would otherwise forget. A voice recording or a saved itinerary can preserve context that the image alone cannot supply. The store also describes text-only Moments.
Keep the storage relationship clear
Moonary says it references the original photos and videos in Apple Photos. Saved writing and organization sync through private iCloud, while Photos manages the availability of the originals. Keep an independent backup appropriate to the original media.
