Daily photo reminder
A gentle daily nudge to take one real photo. It takes seconds, fits into real life, and your photo journal grows naturally — no pressure, no streaks to protect.
Smart Fill your month
Missed a few days? Smart Fill gently suggests photos from your camera roll, so your timeline still makes sense — without turning journaling into a chore.
Private photo journal
All your days in one calm place. Everything stays private by default, with the option to share selected moments with your Inner Circle. Browse your life by year or location anytime.
Add text + location
Add a few words and a place to every photo so you remember how it really felt. Small details that help each moment make sense later, inside your private photo journal.
Built for privacy
PYM is private by default. Every photo begins in your personal journal, and you decide what to share with your Inner Circle. No algorithms, no ads, just a calm space for your life.
Print Later
Your journal comes first. If you ever want something physical, you can create a beautifully printed FUJIFILM yearbook right from the app in just a few taps — whenever you’re ready.

“I’ve been using PYM for a few weeks, and it’s exactly what I needed to keep a daily photo journal.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“What a fantastic app! It lets me capture moments I might otherwise forget. When my mother passed away, the app prompted me to take photos during my visits with her—photos I now deeply treasure. “
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve used PYM for 11 years! Taking one photo a day has become a wonderful habit. Without sticking to this daily habit, I’d never have been able to create a printed yearbook. Everyone loves flipping through the books .
Questions before you start?
With PYM, you build a private daily photo journal with one real photo a day.
What is a photo journal?
A photo journal is a simple way to document your life with one honest photo a day, plus a few words. Check out this guide on what a photo journal is to learn more. With PYM, your photo journal lives in a private app instead of a messy camera roll.
How do I start a photo journal with PYM?
Download the PYM photo journal app, turn on the daily reminder, and start taking one honest photo a day, your private photo journal grows from there.
Do I have to take a photo every single day?
PYM is here to support you, not judge you. The idea is one honest photo a day, but real life happens. If you miss days, your journal still makes sense – and when you’re ready, Smart Fill can help you backfill the gaps with favourites from your camera roll.
Is my journal private?
Yes. Your daily photos and notes are private by default and are meant for you first. You’re always in control of what happens with them.
If you want to share, you can create an Inner Circle – a small, trusted group who can see only the moments you choose to share. Everything else stays just between you and your journal.
I’m bad at habits – is PYM for me?
Yes. PYM is designed for real life, not perfect routines. All you do is take one honest photo a day – no long entries, no streaks to protect. We’ll gently remind you once a day, and if you miss days, that’s okay.
Can I start mid-year?
Yes. Start today and PYM will build your timeline from this moment forward. You can also use Smart Fill to backfill earlier months with your favourite photos from this year.
Can I just keep a photo journal now and print my year later?
Yes. PYM is a private daily photo journal first. You can simply capture one real photo a day, and if you ever want something physical, you can turn your year into a FUJIFILM photo book in just a few taps.
Free to start. Your photo journal, your pace.
