Nobody keeps a diary going. You don't have to either.

Everyone gives up after three weeks — because a blank page in the evening is a debt you owe. But anyone can say what a day was, once they are shown a picture of it.

What happened today?

One sentence is enough. In a year you will be glad you wrote it.

What it looks like

Your day, from every year.

The day view: the heading “Your 1 September”, below it four photos of the same calendar day from 2023 onwards.
Every morning, this calendar day — with your own photos from all the years before.
The slideshow fills the screen with a landscape photo, the year 2023 written large below it.
A quiet slideshow through the day — each picture with its year beneath it.
The “Letters to later” view showing sealed letters and the date each one opens.
Letters to later that stay sealed until the day you choose.
How it works

Three moves, two of which the app makes.

01

Yesta looks back

Every morning it brings up this calendar day from all your earlier years — from your photo library, right on the device.

02

You answer

One sentence about today. Typed or spoken. Even about days there is not a single photo of.

03

Next year it is there

Next to today's pictures. That is how a diary comes about without you ever having started one.

What Yesta does not do

No account. No cloud. No subscription.

This is not a setting you can flip — it is how the app is built.

No server

There isn't one. Your photos and notes stay where they were made.

No sign-in

No account, no email address, no password. The app asks for none of it.

No advertising

And no analysis of your behaviour. There is nobody for anything to go to.

No subscription

The full history is free. What costs money later is a one-time purchase.

Verifiable, not merely claimed: Yesta does not even request the INTERNET permission. The app is technically unable to open a network connection — it works in flight mode exactly as it does otherwise.

Passing it on

One day across five years, as a single picture.
