Here, Then
Read full descriptionHide full description
Here, Then reads the dates and locations your photos already carry — entirely on your device — and draws them into a personal memory map. There's nothing new to record. Ten years of photos are already the record. Grant photo access and watch the map fill in: the corners you kept returning to, trips you'd half-forgotten, places you visited exactly once. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No server. No upload. Photos are never copied — only references and on-device analysis are stored, and deleting the app deletes them. The one exception is Apple's reverse geocoding, which names your places. A MAP OF MEMORIES Photos cluster into "moments," and moments become pins. Tap a pin and that day's photos open right there. Three pin styles: round photo, film frame, glowing dot. A SLIDER THAT REWINDS TIME Drag the year axis and the map travels back. Pinch a range — "just those three years" — or pick a single day from the calendar. 'N YEARS AGO, TODAY' When a past year holds this very date, a quiet banner appears. Tap it to return to that day, in that neighborhood. JOURNEYS, AUTOMATICALLY Consecutive days away from home fold themselves into trips — dotted routes, daily photo strips, distance traveled. Share any trip as an image card. YOUR PLACES A ranking of the places you visit most, and district shading that shows your life's radius at a glance. FREE AND PRO Recent memories are free: this year, the last 30 days, the "N years ago" banner, and a preview of your latest trip. Pro — a single one-time purchase, not a subscription — unlocks the full time axis, any date, unlimited journeys, place rankings, district shading, pin styles and share cards. The more photos you've taken, the more this app has to tell you.

Verdict
Here, Then and Piczo are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
