## Description

**Photo Flashback: On This Day** helps you rediscover photos taken on the same date in previous years. See memories from one year ago, five years ago, a decade ago, or any other available date, grouped neatly by year.

Browse your memories with a yearly calendar timeline, receive optional daily reminders, and display a random throwback with the Home Screen widget. Your photos stay private: the app reads your library entirely on-device and sends nothing to a server.
