Old friends. Family. People we once knew of. Memory Watch quietly checks public records and lets you know when something changes — so you can find out, and stay informed.
Simple. Respectful. Private.
Enter a name to search public records — Wikipedia and the Social Security Death Index — to see if they're still with us.
If they're still with us, add them to your Watchlist for future alerts. If they're no longer with us, save them to your Memories.
When public information changes about someone on your Watchlist, you'll see an Alert in the app. No noise, no clutter — just the news that matters.
Memory Watch is built around public records, not social media. No advertising, no engagement bait, no paywalls — just dignified answers, and a quiet way to stay informed.

Type a name and Memory Watch checks Wikipedia and the SSDI, then gives you a clear result — Likely Alive or Has Passed Away — alongside a public bio so you know you've found the right person.
Old friends, colleagues, distant family. Memory Watch keeps watching the public record on your behalf — every day, in the background — so you don't have to come back and search again.
When someone is no longer with us, save them to Memories. Memory Watch keeps the public record of their life — bio, dates, sources — so you can revisit it any time. Quietly, on your terms.
When the public record changes — a Wikipedia update, a new obituary entry — you'll see an Alert. Tap to view, keep it in Memories, or dismiss. No social feed. No advertising. Just the news that matters.
Or just try it now — open it in your browser:
Memory Watch is a web app — it installs in one tap, with no app store needed. Once installed, it has its own icon on your home screen and runs full-screen, just like any other app.
The Memory Watch icon will appear on your home screen next to your other apps. Tap it any time to launch.
Some versions of Chrome show an automatic install banner at the bottom of the page — you can use that instead if you'd like.
