What's New in Photo Journal

26.10.4

October 28, 2026

Now with videos • Your photos have company. Some moments need motion and sound: laughter at dinner, waves on the beach, first steps. From now on you can keep them as short videos in your diary. • Record right in the app or pick a video from your gallery, up to 10 seconds per clip. Videos were one of the most frequent requests in your messages. Thank you for that! Plus: minor improvements and bug fixes. I always appreciate feedback or ideas at benedikt@picdiary.app! If you enjoy the app and the new updates, I would really appreciate a 5-star review!

Fun Photo Diary

I make a point of creating at least one image (photo, meme, misc graphic) each day and collecting them in an app where I can save them & also get a month’s view. I have used several apps to collect these images over the years but unfortunately they keep being abandoned by their developers. This one seems to be the best yet with the added benefits of a fun interface and thought-provoking prompts for when I feel like writing something to go with my pictures. It’s a nice app and I hope it continues to be supported.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! 😊 I really understand that worry after being let down before. PicDiary is very much alive and actively developed, and I'm committed to keeping it that way, as I also love using the app myself. For any ideas or suggestions, feel free to reach out at benedikt@picdiary.app. Best regards, Benedikt

Wonderful app

My gratitude habit

Fantastic way to create a gratitude habit! Add an intentionality to my day to chronicle what I’m grateful for. Without the murkiness of social media likes.

Favourite app

I have never written a review of anything before… but I genuinely love this app. I treasure it so much. I’m in my final year of high school and I love how I can visually see how far through I am. This app has become my favourite app on my phone even over social media. I try to take 10-20 minutes a day reflecting and writing it all down. It makes it sooo much easier as well when trying to remember how long ago something was… or what I did on a particular day. I just am so glad I have it

So easy to use

This app is so simple to use. Intuitive. Good overview screen that allows you to hone in on a day in the past based on the key photo that was uploaded.
