Your photos become peel-off stickers, and in seconds, today is one little collage card. No scissors, no glue, no design skills needed. ■ petaru is a collage diary "Stick what you loved today." A convenience-store dessert, the sky after school, your fave's merch, food from a trip. The everyday photos sleeping in your camera roll become little works you'll want to share. ■ One tap, five seconds 1. Tap "Make today's card" → petaru gathers the photos you took today 2. Subjects are cut out into stickers automatically and laid out into a card that just looks right 3. Not feeling it? Tap "Shuffle" — or peel a sticker off with your finger and stick it wherever you like ■ Satisfying, like real craft - Stickers are die-cut style with white borders. Press and hold to peel - Washi tape, handwritten-style words, layer it all up - Everything can be undone, so play freely ■ Your days pile up - One card a day, collected on a calendar - Keep going for a month and make a "look-back film" where your cards drift into a starry night sky (the more cards, the deeper the night…!) - Line up favorites on collection sheets — your own sticker book ■ Sharing looks good too - Export for Stories (9:16) and for your feed - Or share the "finished film" of your card coming together, sticker by sticker -- All cutouts happen on your device. Your photos are never sent anywhere. ■ petaru+ (subscription) Make cards for past days, unlock all materials, and keep unlimited collection sheets.

Tap to leave out the ones you don't want — the note-to-self shots, the paperwork — then press the button - Long-press a photo on the tray to make it the Background: laid softly out of focus across the whole card, with the day's stickers on top ■ New papers - Himekuri — a page from a daily calendar, with the day's date printed on it - Paw prints, Receipt, and Stamps — for days about pets, food, and travel ■ Color moods for deco and lettering - Color moods used to be for photos only. Now deco and lettering take them too - Two new ones: Blur Light and Blur Strong — soften the photo you laid down as a background, or let a sticker settle quietly behind the rest - Halftone has been reprinted: the dots are half the size now, for a gentler look ■ A third sticker edge: Borderless - After Smooth and Jagged — no white ring, just the cut-out shape itself ■ "Normal" arrangement, rethought - It now leaves room to breathe and plays with size, instead of filling the card edge to edge. The old fill-it-up arrangement lives on as "Wild" (Settings → Arrangement) ■ Small improvements - Layers now has a row for the Thread, so you can move it up and down like any other sticker - Edits to lettering stay when you close the sheet - Swipe sideways on the photo tray to flip to another day - Fixed a case where a color mood could be applied twice to the same sticker ### 1.8 — 2026-08-15 ■ New finishes: Stamp and Round sticker - "Recut" now offers a stamp with a perforated edge, and a round sticker with a white ring — five finishes in all - Where to crop is decided by looking at the photo on your device — nothing is sent anywhere ■ Letter papers - Two new papers: Letter and Airmail. Pair them with a stamp and a postmark date, and the card becomes a little piece of mail ■ Lettering, every which way - New pattern "Plain" — ink written straight onto the paper, with an optional highlighter stroke that lands slightly off, the way a real one does - Four new fonts: Bubbly, Ballpoint, Chunky, and Apricot ■ Motion gets a direction - Choose Up, Right, Down, or Left. Give the new Arrow deco a Hop in its own direction, and it stretches like it's pointing the way ■ Small improvements - "Save" in the sticker menu exports a single sticker as an image - Rotating a sticker now clicks softly into place at straight angles (washi tape at 45° too) - The recut frame clicks when it lands exactly on a square or other true shape - The Pencil font has been redrawn with a thin, carefree hand ### 1.7 — 2026-08-13 ■ Make a card by hand - On a day with no card yet, you can now start from a blank card and place photos one at a time, at your own pace - Swipe the buttons sideways to switch to the Photo, Text, and Deco tools - Tap "AUTO" above the buttons to go back to making cards automatically, any time ■ Small improvements - Settings "When making a card" is now split in two: how photos are finished, and what gets decorated ### 1.6 — 2026-08-10 ■ Tune the motion - Motions can now be tuned: Speed (Slow / Normal / Quick) and Movement (Subtle / Normal / Bold) ■ New share: Motion loop - A card with motion can become a seamlessly looping video — the finished card itself, moving on and on ■ Choose how cards are made - New in Settings: Cutouts (When possible / Automatic / Never), polaroid styling, and Arrangement (Neat / Normal / Wild). For the straight-rows people and the keep-it-whole people alike ■ Evening reminder - An optional quiet nudge in the evening, so today's photos become today's card. It stays silent on days you've made one — and brings along cards from a week or a month ago (everything can be turned off in Settings) ■ Small improvements - After your first card, petaru now shows what it decorated for you - The selection frame is easier to see, with a dotted cut line - The long-press hint now appears right by your finger - Fixed an issue where a card with a duplicated, taped sticker couldn't be made into a video ### 1.5 — 2026-08-09 ■ New: Motion - Stickers can now move — hop, sway, float… 14 motions in all - When a card is made, the day's leads start moving, each in a way that fits what they are (you can turn this off in Settings) - Export a video and it keeps the moment the magic lands — a sparkle, then everything wakes up ■ Small improvements - The route thread now traces itself on the card, not just in videos - Days with only two or three photos no longer come out crowded - Date labels can slide out past a sticker's edge ## More apps by plpl Inc. - [in – Notes, Journal & To-Dos](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/in-notes-journal-and-to-dos/id6741316501) - [on – Daily Planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/on-daily-planner/id6751531234) - [FaceDiary – Recordable Mirror](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/facediary-recordable-mirror/id6758205920) All apps by plpl Inc.: https://appshunter.io/developer/1487357260 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
