One photo a day, beautifully framed. In your family's home, too.
Just take photos as you always do. One is chosen for the day, and it hangs framed on your iPhone and on your family's iPhone or iPad, however far away they live.
Free for the family who watches. No purchase, no sign-up.
How it works
All you do is take photos, as always
Take photos
One photo a day is set for you automatically, favoring people and pets. Want a different one? Tap another.
Invite your family, once
Send a link by Messages or email. You decide what they see.
A new photo arrives in their home every day
They just look. Nothing to tap, nothing to buy. Each photo hangs in a frame.
Where it hangs
Set it down. It's a frame.
Stand an iPad or an old iPhone on a shelf for a full-screen frame. The screen stays on, and the photo stays up.
Lay a spare iPhone on a charger, on its side, and it becomes a photo stand: today's photo appears in StandBy.
Your own record
Your own days, beautifully framed
On your iPhone too, today's photo hangs in a frame. The calendar fills with one photo a day, a diary that shows you a whole year at a glance. Photos are shown from your library and never uploaded.
Features
Everything else
Frame Mode
Today's photo full screen with its date and note. Three looks: full-bleed, gallery white, gallery dark.
Widgets and StandBy
Today's photo on the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, and StandBy. Your family gets a widget for your photo too.
On This Day
A gentle note when a photo from this day in past years exists, and a card for each year.
Notes, search, tags
Up to 300 characters a day. Search a word to find that day again. Tag days to choose what your family sees.
Empty days fill themselves
DailyAlbum sets one good photo a day automatically, favoring people and pets and skipping screenshots. All on your device.
Never lost
Turn on iCloud Sync (free) and your choices and notes survive a new phone or a reinstall. A monthly album replays last month.

Questions
FAQ
What does my family need?
An iPhone or iPad signed in to iCloud, and this app. It's free and uses none of their iCloud storage.
Where are my photos stored?
Only on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. Shared photos reach your family from your iCloud's shared area. The developer can't see your photos.
What happens if I cancel?
Your family stops receiving new days, but the days they already have stay visible. Your own records stay on your device.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later. Android phones, computers, and TVs are not supported, though you can mirror your iPhone to a TV with AirPlay.
