## Description

Every photo you took on this day, in every year.

Perennial opens on today's date and shows you every photo and video you took on that month and day, going back as far as your library does — grouped by year, oldest to newest.

Three libraries, one timeline
Perennial reads your iCloud photo library, a Synology NAS on your home network, and any folder the Files app can reach — iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, an SMB share. All three sync independently and land in the same day, sorted together.

A widget that changes through the day
Small and medium Home Screen widgets show one of today's photos from a past year, full-bleed, and rotate through the rest as the day goes on. Tap it to open straight to today.

Everything a photo remembers
Full-screen viewer with pinch-to-zoom, inline video, and a caption pulled from the file's own metadata: where it was taken, which camera and lens, and the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO it was shot at.

A day at a time
Select photos by dragging across the grid, then share them together — or clear out the duplicates and the near-misses while you're already looking at them. A year's cleanup, a few photos a day.

Yours, and nowhere else
No account, no server, no analytics. Your Synology password lives in the iOS Keychain. Photos are read from your sources and shown to you; nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled; manage or cancel anytime in Settings.

Every year, it blooms again.
