## What is Ephemera?

You keep the ticket stubs. The postcards, the receipts from that trip, the pressed leaves — a shoebox of small things too good to throw away. Ephemera turns that box into a journal, ten minutes at a time.

No rules, no skills needed. If you can tear paper and use a glue stick, you're qualified.

A PAGE IDEA EVERY DAY
Answer six quick questions — what you save, the look you love, the time you have — and every day Ephemera hands you one page idea matched to you: what to use, where it goes, how to make it feel finished. Small, doable, yours.

SCAN MY SCRAPS
Spread your pile on the table and photograph it (up to three photos for big piles). Ephemera looks at what you actually own, cuts your real scraps out of the photos, and shows you three finished page layouts built from them — your ticket leaning just so, your receipt tucked into a pocket. Tap any part of a layout to see what goes there and why.

TWENTY SMALL SKILLS
Tea-stained paper. Torn edges. Tuck spots and pockets. Washi borders. Twenty step-by-step techniques, each one learnable in an evening and usable forever.

YOUR JOURNAL, KEPT
Photograph the pages you make and keep them in order — a quiet shelf of everything your hands have made. Your journal lives on your device: no account, no cloud, nothing to sign up for.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-08

Your first scan is a gift. Finish the quiz, photograph your pile, and watch three pages appear — made from your own scraps, before we ever ask about a plan.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-06

Your first scan is a gift. Finish the quiz, photograph your pile, and watch three pages appear — made from your own scraps, before we ever ask about a plan.

Meet your scrap box. Everything a scan cuts out is kept: browse it, mark what you've glued down, and pick a few scraps to get a brand-new page made from exactly those.

Saved ideas now have a home. Reopen anything you kept — your scraps are still on the page — then zoom in, print its paper and labels, and make it.

Cleaner cutouts throughout: scraps the scanner used to miss now get a second, closer look.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-03

No release notes.
