Questions

We count the moments kept in pym. from 1 January 2026 up to the date shown. We add them up across everyone and round the totals. “Times around the Earth” adds up, for each person, the distance between their moments in order, and divides the total by the length of the equator (40,075 km). Golden hour is the hour of the day with the most moments, in Dutch time.

No. We show totals and groups. A place appears on the map only when 10 or more people kept moments there. For our busiest travellers we show only the countries, never names, cities, dates or photos, and never who they are. Your photos stay yours.

No. Every moment counts, whether you keep one every day or once in a while. Keep one today and it is in the next update.

The page is refreshed after 31 December with the full year. Each year keeps its own page.

Keep going. 2027 starts with one photo.

Your year is already happening. pym. helps you keep it.
