The tiny guide to One Year

One Year is a daily journal and memory garden app for keeping the little moments you don’t want to lose.

Let’s break down the essential features of One Year, so you can watch your year slowly grow into a garden of hand-drawn flowers.

How your memory garden works

Every year, you get a fresh garden to fill with your memories.

Each day you journal, a new hand-drawn flower or plant appears, so over time your garden becomes a visual diary of your year.

Journal entries for every day

Write a few words about your day, add photos, or turn your entry into a little photo diary of the moments you want to remember.

Your entry can be one word or thousands. No pressure to fill up a page. Just enough to remember what today felt like.

Customize your journal

You can choose your font, switch to night mode, and use the mood tracker to add color to your flowers based on how you felt that day.

Little by little, your garden will start to feel like your year.

Keep it close with widgets

Add the One Year Home Screen widget to your iPhone so your garden is always nearby.

It’s a tiny reminder to slow down, notice the day you’re in, and remember that every day matters.
