Yearshelf: 5-Year Journal

One line. Your years together.

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Keep an ordinary day. Meet it again next year. A private five-year journal with no account, no ads, and no subscription. One line today. Your own years beneath it. Yearshelf brings the paper five-year journal to your phone. Open a date, write a little, and find that same date from earlier years on the same page. Begin on any day. Fill in missed days whenever you like. A SMALL PLACE FOR REAL LIFE Write as much or as little as you need. Add a photo, move through your calendar, search your words, or catch up on a day you missed. Keep a book for yourself or about someone important to you. BRING YOUR YEARS WITH YOU Copy from a paper diary or import text from supported Apple Journal and Day One exports. Move your books with an open backup you can inspect outside the app. Export CSV and plain PDF without a purchase. Checked backups help you know that your saved file can be read. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal is stored encrypted on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking, and no AI reading or writing your lines. Optional biometric and PIN locking helps keep your pages private. Sharing and exporting happen when you choose them; open backup files are readable files, so keep them somewhere private. YOUR OWN RHYTHM Choose a quiet daily reminder and adjust when your journal day ends. Light and dark appearance, reduced motion, and English and German make room for the way you write. There are no broken streaks to repair. FULL SHELF — OPTIONAL, ONCE One five-year book is free. Full Shelf unlocks up to six active books and designed, text-only printable book PDFs. It is a one-time purchase, never a subscription. Existing books always remain readable, writable, searchable and exportable. Your past stays open. Your books leave with you.
