All new iOS 27 design, Siri AI integration, and all new Doodle Clock! Write one memory a day and watch a hand-drawn garden grow around it.
Write a short memory, add photos, and track your mood each day.
Every memory becomes a hand-drawn plant, slowly forming into a memory garden every year.
One Year makes journaling feel light, visual, and easy to keep up with.
“This is the first time I’ve actually stuck with journaling every day.”

App is great so far, simple and easy to use, straight forward with its interface. It seems great as it is so far, but I just wish it was possible to change the colour (I think a sage or nature colour would be nice). Other than that, all seems amazing.

Your garden officially supports iOS 27!
But, in true One Year fashion we added a TON more:
- Meet the Doodle Clock! Turn your phone sideways and your whole year becomes a clock. You can also have it appear automatically when charging. Just follow the in app setup :)
- Your garden is fully integrated with Siri and Siri AI. From new actions to Siri understanding a bit more about your memories
- We gave you a bigger space for your home screen garden with the new extra large garden widget
- Updated the settings page with some new options & brand new icon set
- Made some tweaks to the night mode colors through out the app to make it feel a lot more magical
- Saving memories, loading memories, writing memories should feel wayyyy faster
- Caught a tiny bug where small devices couldn't use the Doodle Camera
- Patched a small issue with Sign in With Apple
