Yearbook
Built from your camera roll
Pick a year and Yearbook scans your photo library for that date range and assembles the book for you — no starting from a blank page.
Launching soon on iPhone & Android
A private, personal yearbook
Your year is already in your camera roll. Turn it into a book.
Yearbook assembles the photos you already have into a beautiful year-in-review book — a smart shortlist to review, captions and day notes to write, a cover to design, and a PDF to keep. All of it happens on your device. No account. No uploads.
2025 — Our Year
12 months · built from your camera roll
Thousands of photos. Zero books.
The problem
The average phone holds years of memories — birthdays, trips, ordinary Tuesdays that turned out to matter. But turning that pile into something you'd actually revisit means sorting thousands of photos, and that job is exactly why most photo books never get made. Meanwhile, cloud journals want an account, a subscription, and your entire life uploaded to someone else's server.
The Yearbook way
Yearbook starts from what already exists. Pick a year and it scans your camera roll for that range, proposes a focused shortlist — favorites first, screenshots skipped, burst duplicates collapsed — and lays it out as a real book: twelve months, daily pages, captions, a cover. You review, personalize, and export. Your photos and writing never leave your device.
Everything a personal yearbook needs
Every feature below exists in the app today — assembly, editing, and export, all running locally on your phone.
Smart shortlist & review
Favorites surface first; screenshots are skipped and burst near-duplicates collapsed by default. Then you fly through quick keep/remove decisions.
Captions & day notes
Add a caption to any photo and a journal note to any day, so the book keeps your words alongside your pictures.
Covers, themes & layouts
Design the cover with a title, dedication, and hero photo. Choose from six book themes, with page styles from full-bleed to polaroid and magazine.
PDF export & page sharing
Turn a finished book into a standard-quality A4 or US Letter PDF — generated on your device — or share a single page as an image.
Private by design
No account, no ads, no uploads — photos and writing are processed locally. Add biometric app lock and hide content in the app switcher.
From camera roll to keepsake in three steps
-
Pick a year
Choose the year you want to remember. Yearbook scans your camera roll for that range and builds a first draft — a twelve-month grid with a cover photo per month and chronological daily pages inside.
-
Review and make it yours
Sweep through the smart shortlist with fast keep/remove taps, add photos it missed, reorder pages, and write the captions and day notes only you could write.
-
Design the cover and export
Give the book a title, a dedication, and a theme. Then export a print-ready A4 or US Letter PDF — built entirely on your device — or share favorite pages as images.
Free to start. Pro when you want more.
No account either way. Your free book is always yours.

Frequently asked questions
Not yet. Yearbook is in final pre-release preparation for iPhone and Android. This page will link to the store listings the moment they are live.
No. Your photos and writing are processed locally on your device and are never uploaded by the app. There is no account to create, no ads, and your memories are never used to train anything.
No — that's the whole point. You pick a year, and Yearbook scans your camera roll for that date range and proposes a smart shortlist: favorites come first, screenshots are skipped by default, and burst or near-identical series are collapsed so each day stays focused. You then review with quick keep/remove decisions instead of starting from a blank page.
