What is a MEMORYMETADATA file?

MEMORYMETADATA files mostly belong to Photos.app. MEMORYMETADATA files are used by Apple's Photos application to store metadata for photo memories.
They are based on the plist format, meaning the data is organized in a property list structure.
  • They contain key details that help the Photos app organize and display photo memories.
  • The information stored may include data on photo events and memory groupings.
  • You can view these files by converting them to a readable XML format using tools like the 'plutil' command on macOS.
  • Although designed for the Photos app, understanding the structure can help diagnose issues or transfer metadata.
    FilExt.com note: Additional developer documentation explains the plist details used inside these files.

    How can I open a MEMORYMETADATA file?

    You need a suitable software like Photos.app to open a MEMORYMETADATA file.
