What it does

Nothing to organise. Nothing to learn.

Speak, and it is kept

Tap once and talk. Your words are turned into text, tagged, and filed for you. There is nothing to organise and no forms to fill in.

Ask about your own life

Shaterian answers from what you have actually told it, and shows you which memories the answer came from. When your own memories do not hold the answer, it says so rather than making something up.

Ask it to do things

Set a reminder or a routine for your pills, call or message someone, put an appointment in your calendar — it proposes and you confirm.

A line it will not cross

Questions about diagnosis, dosage or whether to change a treatment are recognised and turned back to your own care team rather than answered by a model.

See how your life connects

Your memories appear as a constellation of the people, places and themes that run through them.

Made to be usable

Type that grows with your iPhone's own text size, up to half again as large. Generous targets for unsteady hands, and a calm palette, in dark or light.

Meet the founder

Meet Nader Shaterian.

"I began building this because Parkinson's was slowly taking away my memory, my orientation, and pieces of who I am. I realized millions of people would eventually face the same problem."

For years, Nader documented his life — journals, voice memos, health observations, Parkinson's notes, family memories. That archive became the first Shaterian Twin.

Co-founder, Fab Lab Connect · Global Fab Lab projects · Digital fabrication educator · AI researcher · Parkinson's advocate

Questions people ask

Is Shaterian a medical app?

No. It is not a medical device, and it does not diagnose or treat anything. Questions about diagnosis, dosage or whether to change a treatment are turned back to your own care team.

Do I have to type?

No. Tap once and talk. Your words are turned into text, tagged, and filed for you. There is nothing to organise and no forms to fill in.

Where is what I tell it kept?

On your iPhone. There is no account to create and no password to remember. There is no server of ours. Nothing is sold, nothing is used for advertising, and nothing is used to train anything.

What does it cost?

It is free to download: two weeks free, then $2.99 a month through the App Store. A lapsed card or a cancelled trial never locks you away from your own memories.

Which iPhones does it work on?

iPhone with iOS 17 or later.

Can my family see it?

Not yet. Shaterian Caregiver, for family and carers, is now on the App Store and will connect with the next version of Shaterian. The person will choose what to share.
