DayReel
Select theme Why are these colour themes here?

DayReel is yours. A private place for your personal photos and the journeys they represent.

Therefore it is not our place to have access to anything you add to DayReel and neither is it to impose our brand colours, so we do not have any.

You pick the colour that suits you. And while this is only the website, we felt it was right to give a preview of that idea here.

Great Side By Side Progress photo app and more

This was a great app to share my progress photos on my weight loss journey. There’s so many other features and I highly recommend doing the pro version since it allows you to re-order the transition images and make it your own.

Progress photos, ordered transitions, and private family sharing.

great idea ⭐️

Love this app 👏 Such a fun way to record daily memories and share with your family/friends privately without posting on social media.

Daily memories without turning them into a public social feed.

please add an option to invert front camera

other than that, great app

We added front-camera invert after this request. Feature ideas are always welcome.

Yesterday could have been the most important day of your life. You just didn't know it.

DayReel helps you build a simple one-second habit of documenting your life, one photo at a time. It takes the messy, scattered photos that normally disappear into your camera roll and turns them into a private time-lapse with you at the centre.

Day by day, you change. The world around you changes too. Most of it feels too ordinary to notice while it is happening, but with time those ordinary moments gain context, and context gives them meaning.

That is the LookBack Effect: it's why I've kept taking my Daily DayReel (12 years now) and it's why I built DayReel – So others can start and keep the most amazing habit.

Your Data is Not Our Business

Your projects live in your personal iCloud. There are no DayReel accounts, no public feed, and no audience unless you choose to share.

Build the habit, keep the habit

Use reminders, import old photos, and keep a rhythm that fits the project instead of forcing a perfect daily streak.

It feels good to look back

Transform photos into time-lapse videos or before/after photo collages – ready to watch or share at any time.

The usual questions, answered early.

Are my photos private?

Yes. DayReel has no accounts and no public feed. Your photos stay in your personal iCloud, and sharing only happens when you choose it.

Do I have to take a photo every day?

No. Daily, weekly, monthly, and occasional projects all work. DayReel is built around the photos you actually take.

What happens if I miss a day?

Nothing breaks. DayReel is not about being perfect or interrupting your life. Missing a photo can be disappointing, but it is normal, and you can just continue as usual.

How will I remember to take my DayReel photo?

DayReel has flexible reminder notifications for daily, weekly, or monthly projects. Pick a set time, or choose a random time within an optional start and end window if you want the reminder to feel less rigid. If you are busy when one arrives, you can snooze it for 1 hour and come back to it later.

Can I make multiple albums?

Yes. Your first album is free, then multiple albums require DayReel Pro. It is useful if you want separate albums for baby progress, fitness, daily photos, or any other project you want to keep organised.

Can I add photos I already have?

Yes. Import older photos from Photos, then keep adding to the same project from today.

Can I share an album?

Yes. With iCloud sharing, you can invite someone to view an album or even help edit it. Shared albums require DayReel Pro.

Can I share just the latest photo?

Yes. You can share any photo directly, and you can choose whether each photo is automatically added to Photos too. With DayReel Pro, you can also create a shared widget that always shows the latest photo.

Does DayReel have widgets?

Yes. DayReel has a latest photo widget, which can be shared with DayReel Pro, and a random photo widget so you can see a different memory each day.

Can I keep body or pregnancy photos hidden?

Yes. Use Hidden Projects to keep sensitive albums out of view and open them with Face ID.

Can I hide my face in progress photos?

Yes. DayReel includes an automatic face pixelation option, so you can blur your face before saving or sharing body, fitness, pregnancy, or other personal progress photos.
