Use cases
From the journal you have restarted four times, to a year of photos you never look at again, to a year-end review that should start from what you recorded rather than what you remember — see how Almanac fits the way you already live your days.
Only days recorded on the day itself extend a streak. Days filled in from your library, or completed later, are marked as backfilled and deliberately excluded. A streak that could be purchased would not tell you anything about the habit you were trying to build.
Everything runs on the device: the library scan, the search, the statistics, the recap and the PDF. There is no account, no cloud sync and no ads inside the app, and Settings has a one-tap JSON export so your years are never held hostage.
A photo, a two-line note, a mood and a score out of ten. Weather, place, people and tags are folded away under "add details" — optional, every one of them. There is a prompt for the evenings when nothing comes to mind.
Almanac can scan your photo library on the device and suggest the best frame from each recent day, so your first evening already has something in it instead of a blank page you are supposed to fill.
Every day is its own photo in a grid of the year. Switch to the mood view and the same grid recolours by score, so a rough month is visible without reading a single word.
Search runs on the device across notes, places, people, tags and dates. "A year ago today" brings old entries back on its own, and the map shows the days you attached a place to.
Almanac is an offline photo journal that takes thirty seconds a day: one frame, two lines, a mood and a score. Your days become a colour mosaic, a yearly recap and a printable book — all stored on your device.
