Shryne for IPhone Lets You Download and Archive Your Own Social Story
iOS / OS X: All services like Facebook, Instagram, and Google Hangouts have their own archives, but they can be tricky to download and organize, if you can. Shryne is an iPhone app (and companion desktop tool) that gives you complete control and lets you download, archive and organize it all.
Shrine works with Facebook messages and photos, Gmail and Google Hangouts, Instagram, SMS, iMessage and your iPhone’s camera roll. The app works by forcing you to create “archives” for each contact and define your relationship with them, be it a friend, family member, partner, or anyone else. Then you can connect your social networks to the application and sync (automatically or manually, it depends on you, and in some cases depends on the service) your conversations, shared photos, messages and much more to create an archive of your social life with this friend or family member.
Then, once you have your archives, you can encrypt and back up for safe storage, run personal analytics on them to see how often you actually manage to stay connected with that high school friend or how often you get together with your friend. through the city. When I tested the app, it was still a bit rough and it was completely unclear how to actually get started and use it after you downloaded it and set up an account, but the developers say they are working on it. Likewise, you will want to download a desktop component to sync data from some of the supported services.
Think of Shryne as a digital locker – the service has a free tier (10 archives and 250MB of space), but if you start using it heavily, there are premium tiers of 5GB for $ 10 / year and 20GB for $ 20 / year). that this is how the service makes money without selling or trying to fake your information.
