Pictiary: Photo Journal

Every photo has a story. Keep yours in a private daily journal with photos, notes, handwriting and iCloud sync. Try it free for 14 days. No subscription.

Every photo has a story worth remembering.

Pictiary gives each day its own journal page. Choose up to three meaningful photos, write the story behind each one, and capture your thoughts with a keyboard or Apple Pencil.

A private, peaceful space for the moments that matter — without social feeds, ads, or subscriptions.

TRY EVERYTHING FIRST, THEN DECIDE Use every part of Pictiary free for 14 days, and only then decide whether it's for you. If it is, it's a one-time purchase. Every update to this version is included, and whatever you've written is always yours to read, search and export.

ONE PAGE A DAY • Up to three photos a day, each with its own story • Write with bold, italics, lists, headings and a few ink colours • Write by hand with Apple Pencil or your finger, on plain, lined or squared paper • Choose a photo layout and arrange the parts of your page • Turn a photo over, like an old print, for its date, place, private note and handwriting

KEEP THE WHOLE DAY • How the day felt — up to three moods, with a calendar to look back • Where it happened, with a small map • The weather, noted when you start writing • A song from Apple Music, a link from Spotify or YouTube, an imported sound or a voice memo

MAKE IT YOURS Choose from eight papers and 36 accent colours, in light and dark.

LOOK BACK • On This Day brings back pages from the same date in other years • Search everything you've typed, in any language • Browse your photo calendar, or open a random day • A gentle question on an empty page helps you get started

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your journal lives on your device and in your own private iCloud • No account, ads, tracking or analytics • Lock your journal with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode • Photos are kept as the app's own copies; choose whether they keep their location

MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • On iPad, the journal opens like a book, with a full-page mode • Keyboard shortcuts with a hardware keyboard • Sync between your devices through iCloud, and write offline

ENGLISH AND HEBREW Full right-to-left support, with Hebrew and English mixed naturally on the same page.

YOURS TO KEEP • Daily backups to your iCloud Drive, or your device when iCloud Drive is unavailable • Restore your journal from a Pictiary backup • Export your journal or a range of dates as a PDF or a web archive with full-size photos

Optional reminders to write, on the days and at the times you choose.
