Saradays is a calm, offline-first photo journal that gives you delightful ways to remember. Your photos and videos become timelines, clocks, books, galleries, and stacks you can gently explore. Timeline Scroll through a horizontal ribbon of memories with month headers, subtle haptics, and optional day clustering. Clock See a day as a 24-hour clock, with each photo pinned to the time it was taken. On This Day Revisit what happened on this date across different years, with a "Find Today" shortcut and a view of the in-between days. Book Flip through a physics-based photo book with rich page-turn animations, haptics, and soft page-flip sounds. Gallery Hang your memories in a framed, masonry-style wall that feels like a small exhibition. Stack Flick through a fanned-out stack of photos that subtly reacts to how you tilt your phone. Make It Yours Each visualization has a customizable serif title and an optional notes field, so you can tell the story behind a set of memories. Tap any item to open a full-screen viewer with zoom, swipe-through navigation, and support for both photos and videos. Soundtracks Attach a looping soundtrack to any visualization using curated built-in tracks or audio you import from files. Private & Offline Everything stays stored locally on your device unless you opt-in to save a backup in your own iCloud. For your extra peace of mind. Quick Controls A side drawer lets you switch visualizations, toggle light/dark mode, and go to settings which help you personalize the app. Free vs Premium In the free version you can create up limited visualizations with limited photos, videos, and notes in each. Saradays Premium unlocks unlimited visualizations, unlimited media (subject to your device's storage), convenient batch import when you long-press the add button, and access to future premium features. Saradays helps you slow down and remember your days. Gently, privately, and beautifully.

Post Like Social Media. Private Like a Diary. Pineapple Log brings the familiar feel of social posting to journaling - without the performance. Capture your day in whatever format feels right. It's all the ease of scrolling through a timeline, with none of the pressure of an audience. Why Pineapple Log? 1. Journal the way you actually think Not every day needs a perfectly crafted entry. Sometimes it's a photo. Sometimes it's a voice note on your walk home. Sometimes it's just checking off your to-do list. Pineapple Log lets you capture life as it happens. Post However You Want: - Text Notes: Quick thoughts, long reflections, random ideas - write it out - Photos & Videos: Capture the moments that matter - or just that really good latte. No need to make it Instagram-worthy. - Voice Memos: Sometimes talking is easier than typing. Press record and let it flow. - To-Do Lists: Brain dump your tasks, plan your week, or make a list of things that made you smile today. - Sketches: Doodle your feelings, draw your dreams, or just scribble while you think. 2. Your timeline, your rules - Multiple Calendar Views Yearly and monthly views, see your entire month at a glance, with pineapple icons showing your active days. Browse your days like a personal feed. Jump to any date - past or future. - Update the Past, Capture Now, Plan Forward Use it as a journal for today, update the yesterday or a planner for tomorrow. Your timeline, your rules. Your story, organized the way timelines should be, chronological and easy to navigate. 3. Actually private No cloud sync drama, no terms of service changes, no "we respect your privacy but..." Local storage means your journal stays on your device. Period. 4. Features for Real Life: - Light & Dark Mode – Journal at 3pm or 3am—we've got you covered. - Widget Ready – Your current month, right on your home screen. What We Don't Do [X] No mood tracking
 [X] No streaks to maintain
 [X] No pressure to "check in"
 [X] No AI analyzing your emotions

 We're not here to analyze your feelings or gamify your mental health. Pineapple Log is just a place to be - messy, mundane, or magnificent. Real journaling for real people. The Pineapple System Track your journaling consistency with a simple visual: golden pineapples for productive days (4+ posts), green pineapples for lighter days. It's not about pressure - it's just a fun way to see your patterns. For People Who Don't Journal You don't need to be a "journal person" to use Pineapple Log. If you've ever taken a random photo, made a voice note, or written a list on your phone, you're already doing it. We just made it easier to keep it all in one place.
