Have too many photos on your phone? The reality is that most of these will never be seen by anyone ever again. However, there are some beautiful images in there as well. day36 - inspired by the art of analogue photography and physical photo albums - is a simple tool to create meaningful albums you will keep coming back to time and time again. It works like this... FROM 1000s of photos from a recent trip ---> TO a curated album of your favourite images, with a consistent visual style. FROM Hours to sift through on your default gallery app ---> TO minutes to select and create your albums FROM laboriously editing individual images on 3rd party apps --> TO quick bulk edits and optional tasteful film emulations, all in one place FROM trying to show your friends photos from your trip to Japan, but messily scrolling through hundreds of random photos --> TO a single, beautiful album with up to 36 images you can share to your Instagram, or even print. FROM just relying on AI to create albums with random or generic taste --> TO you having the final say on which images are kept, a form of artistic expression You don't have to learn a new camera app or professional editing skills. This is just a workflow I have dreamed about for a while, designed as an intuitive, mindful, and efficient experience.
