YearshelfA memory from today
Open your book and write. There is no tutorial to finish, streak to protect, or prompt telling you what your day should mean.
Your private five-year journal
A little today.
A life
over time.
The words you almost forgot to keep. A small moment, a familiar place, something they said. Give today a line, then watch the years gather around it.

One book free. No account. No ads. Just your days.
Same date.Different years.
A page worth returning to
Five years.
One ordinary, extraordinary day.
You do not need a story every day. A sentence will do. Yearshelf puts the same date from each year on one page, so the passing years have somewhere to meet.

Your book starts when you do. There is a real page for 29 February, too.
Start with what you already have
Your first year
does not have
to feel empty.
A day from before
Backfill a date, catch up after a break, or type in a line from an old paper diary. Your memories do not expire because you missed a day.
A little room to grow
Add a photo, find an old line with search, and return to the same date next year. The book grows at your pace.
Made to keep
Books for the years
you want to remember.
Yours, in the full sense
Your words stay with you.
Private on your device
Your books and photos are encrypted locally. No account, no advertising, no analytics, and no server collecting your journal.
Open a file, keep a life
Export a readable backup with your writing and photos. Take it to another phone, or open the contents without Yearshelf. Your own copies matter: there is no automatic cloud sync.
Only share what you choose
Make a book card and use your phone’s share sheet when you want to. No contacts access, public profile, or sharing requirement.
A book to begin with

Make room when
you need it.
