What's New in One Year

3.1

September 20, 2026

Your garden officially supports iOS 27! But, in true One Year fashion we added a TON more: - Meet the Doodle Clock! Turn your phone sideways and your whole year becomes a clock. You can also have it appear automatically when charging. Just follow the in app setup :) - Your garden is fully integrated with Siri and Siri AI. From new actions to Siri understanding a bit more about your memories - We gave you a bigger space for your home screen garden with the new extra large garden widget - Updated the settings page with some new options & brand new icon set - Made some tweaks to the night mode colors through out the app to make it feel a lot more magical - Saving memories, loading memories, writing memories should feel wayyyy faster - Caught a tiny bug where small devices couldn't use the Doodle Camera - Patched a small issue with Sign in With Apple

great diary shoutout alec

for a product like this, that is for one use and will likely not be changing much if at all in its future, asking the users to pay for a subscription instead of only having one-time-payment for downloading the app itself is absolutely **annoying and also not true. egg on my face lol !!! love this app and its cute art, and i like to add a picture every day to help chronicle my life ^_^

— TY alec for correcting me idk why i was so mad when i wrote this thats my bad

$$$

I really really love the concept of the app, paired with the aesthetic, I genuinely am in love with it as a concept but as an incoming uni student I don’t think I can really paying a set amount of money to this. I would’ve considered the lifetime payment but omg it’s so expensiveeee :(. I understand the devs need the money to keep this running but could you guys please introduce a freemium with at least the ability to add images? I really love the app, I even tried looking for free or more affordable alternatives but none really live up to this. 😓

pay to use

it’s should be far more forth coming about the fact it is a paid app.

love this app, use it daily — just one recommendation

use one year every single day and especially love the ability to display the yearly mood colours in a screenshot; this is super helpful as someone who documents their mood for certain health appointments! the only thing i would want added to the app is the ability to change the mood colour palette/change it within the app as the middle (which i use as neutral) and the second to right (which i use as positive-neutral) are very similar in colour when displayed in the full calendar display which makes it difficult to distinguish between the two! this also might help certain colourblind people. otherwise the app is so great and easy to use and i appreciate the work you guys do, especially with a small team.

Loving it!!!

Really been in love with this app, wish i could discover it earlier so i can have garden full!!

Just two features that i really hope can be added:

1) Search function - can search up certain word and it will show all journals that have that word

2) Download/export one journal - right now i can only download everything at once

Thanks again for creating this beautiful app :)!!

FAQ

What is this app about?

This app allows you to capture one memory each day by writing text and adding an image. Each entry contributes to a unique hand-drawn plant that grows over the course of a year, ultimately forming a personalized digital garden.

How does the journaling process work?

You write a short or long memory and can optionally add an image. For each entry, a new hand-drawn plant grows. Over time, these plants accumulate to create a full garden representing your year of memories. You can revisit any past entry and its corresponding plant.

Is this app free to use?

The app is free to download and use, offering core journaling features. There are in-app purchases available, which likely unlock additional features or customization options for your garden or plants.

What devices is this app compatible with?

This app is designed to work across Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. Your journal entries and garden will sync seamlessly across all your devices.

What are the main benefits of using this app for journaling?

The app offers a light, visual, and easy-to-maintain journaling experience. It focuses on consistency rather than streaks or perfection, with no pressure to write extensively. The unique plant-growing feature makes tracking memories engaging and rewarding.
