This is hardly the first time a company has pitched simplicity as a way to capture and relive memories. Google debuted an AI-powered camera called Clips in 2018<\/a> that could record short videos, and you didn’t even have to press a button. Just turn it on and the AI could figure out the right moments to capture, and these 7-second clips were then accessible in the phone app. Clips was discontinued<\/a> nearly two years after its launch.<\/p>\n

The time may be ripe for Kyu to step in as a private, personal social network. BeReal, the social media app that championed authenticity<\/a>, has been in sharp decline<\/a> since its explosive growth in 2022. The mass migration from X to Bluesky<\/a> has left some people wondering where to post. And TikTok may get banned in the US in 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the intent of carrying around Kyu in your hand, the instant camera-like<\/a> \u201climit\u201d on how much you can capture, and the easily stitched-together edits in the app will help create memory bursts that are bite-sized but still can transport you beyond the same old scroll. Since you’ll have to be more choosy with what you capture before space runs out, you won’t have unnecessary files hogging space. And the resulting videos are mercifully short\u2014no one wants to sit through your 10-minute travel log<\/a>. You can also control whether these videos are saved in your digital library instead of the automatic nonstop backup most of us are used to with our smartphones.<\/p>\n
