How memory works

Nothing is remembered unless you say so. Here is how it goes, from the end of a session to the page where you can take it all back.

I build things, so let me show you the workshop. Memory in Asclepiad is a small box with a lid, and you hold the lid.

At the end of a session

When a session ends, the guest suggests a few things that might be worth remembering. You read them. You can edit each one line by line, keep it, or skip it. Nothing goes in unless you keep it.

If you close the app or lose the connection before you have chosen, the choice waits: you keep the chance to keep memories for a day.

Where it lives

What you keep lives on your phone only, until you remove it. On the Memory page you can change any line, remove it, or export all of it as a file and import it again later.

Who gets to read it

A guest reads your memories only in a session on your own. In a session for a table of people, the guest does not draw on anything remembered from earlier sessions. What one person kept stays out of the room.

In a session on your own, what you chose to remember is sent with the session to the services named on our privacy page, so the guest can use it.

It is your box. A guest only opens it when you are alone with them.
