The app is here first.
Free, and it takes both of you. It is a beta, so expect rough edges. Open this page on your iPhone to install it.
You will need Apple's TestFlight app to install it, and places are limited.
The Android build is close behind. Leave your email and we will write the day it lands.
It takes both of you.
There is no solo mode. The year belongs to the two of you, so the setup does too.
One of you installs the app and starts the year.
They send a link. You open it, or type the four characters by hand.
That is the whole setup. Roll the die tonight.
It keeps the year. Nothing else.
The cards are the game. The app holds what the year leaves behind.
- The nightly card.
- Mark the night kept. The die stays in your hands — the app never rolls it.
- One photograph.
- A single frame each night, sealed the moment you take it.
- Encrypted.
- Sealed before it leaves your phone. Even we cannot read them.
- Unseen.
- No gallery, no thumbnail, not even the one you took a moment ago.
- Your year, filling in.
- One mark a night, in the colour of the deck the die landed on.
- A reminder, once.
- One a night, at a time you choose. Never more than that.
- Nights kept.
- Not days elapsed. Missing one costs nothing.
- Paired, not solo.
- Two phones, every night. Both of you or neither.
This is the year, filling in.
Every night you keep adds one mark, in the colour of the deck the die landed on. You will not see a photograph here until the year is finished.
Every dot is a night kept, and a photograph still sealed.
The shape of it, so far.
On the last night, the seals open.
Every photograph you took, in order, for the first time. Neither of you has seen a single one of them — not the one from last night, not the one from the night you started.
The montage, playing
Three hundred and sixty-five frames. One for every night you kept.
Quiet, on purpose.
No badges, no streak fire, no percentage of anything. One card, one night, one mark.
Tonight's card
The year
Sealing a photograph
We hold the photographs. We cannot read them.
Each one is encrypted on your phone before it is uploaded, with a key held by you and your partner. There is one brief exception while you are pairing, and the privacy policy explains it plainly rather than burying it.
Something not working, or the code will not take?
