As somebody noted below, this just looks remarkably like Evernote: store notes, photos, places and reminders, with multiple tags that you can define yourself. It's an incredibly manual process, although as someone with 610 notes in Evernote, I attest to its usefulness :)

Really, this seems like the killer app for always-on video lifelogging, coupled to really advanced computer vision and automatic tagging. I would love an app that I could ask whenever I put my keys down in yet another inventively silly place, or ask when I last saw my wallet (was it stolen, or did I just leave it at home?), or ask to show me all the times I'd put away a cable so that I could figure out where my rarely-used external HD power supply was stashed.

This reminds me :-) of the Remembrance Agent, an MIT project that looked at what you were doing in your Emacs and would pop up related hints and notes from your past as you changed contexts. I think they were trying to move the idea into wearables, but it didn't translate well with clunky eyewear and wearable keyboard. Now, with OCR and vision, your killer app is getting closer.

So I have to remember to manually tag every photo I take for this app to be useful? It seems like Google Photos is superior to this app in every aspect.

The only disruption in photo management and search that could get me to switch from Google Photos is an open source alternative with equivalent ML-powered auto-tagging features.
