Take a photo a day, share it with the people you love, and watch it become a yearbook by year's end. Now with photobooks for travel, baby's first year and weddings too.
You never finished that photo book. Neither did we.
So we made PYM the other way round. Add photos as they happen, and the book is already made. No blank pages waiting for a free weekend. No evening lost scrolling through 4,000 photos. During, not after.
The book of your year. The book of your trip. The book of your baby's first year. The book of your wedding.
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT
Every other photo book starts after the moment is over: a camera roll full of duplicates, hundreds of choices and a weekend you never find. PYM starts while it is happening. Each photo you add already has its place, so there is no project waiting for you at the end. Just your book, ready when you are.
THE BOOK OF YOUR YEAR
Take one real photo a day. No filter needed, no caption required, just the moment that mattered. By the end of the year, your yearbook is already there, page by page, ready to hold in your hands. Missed a few days? Pick them from your camera roll later. On This Day brings back what you saw a year ago, and a short recap every Monday shows you the week you just lived.
THE BOOK OF YOUR TRIP
PYM notices when you have been away and offers to turn those photos into a travel book. Pick the shots you want, and a map of where you went is added from your photo locations. Traveling with friends? Everyone adds their photos to one shared album, so the book holds the trip as all of you saw it.
THE BOOK OF YOUR BABY'S FIRST YEAR
The first smile, the first bath, the first steps. You will not know which moments matter until they have happened, so PYM keeps them as they come. Photos are matched to more than 100 first-year milestones, and the baby book takes shape while you are busy living it. Grandparents can follow along and add their own photos too.
THE BOOK OF YOUR WEDDING
Your guests took hundreds of photos. Most never reach you. With PYM, guests scan a QR code at the table and add their photos straight from their browser, no app needed. Every photo lands in one private album, sorted into chapters like Getting Ready, Ceremony and Party. When you are ready, order the wedding book.
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED IT
Share moments with your InnerCircle, the handful of people who matter most. Invite family to a shared album, or friends to a trip. Every book can hold everyone's photos, not just your own.
EVEN IF YOU NEVER PRINT A PAGE
PYM is still the best place for a private daily journal. No feed, no followers, no ads. Nobody to perform for, nothing to keep up with. Your photos are seen only by the people you choose. Just your life, for the people who lived it.
PRINTED TO KEEP
When you are ready, your book is printed on premium photo paper and delivered to your door. Choose from a pocket-size booklet, a square photo book or a large-format zine. Prefer something for the wall? Order a grid poster of your year or a set of retro prints.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Start a book: your year, a trip, your baby's first year or your wedding.
2. Add photos as they happen, or invite the people you share them with.
3. When the moment is over, the book is already made. Order it whenever you like.
Photobook, already made. Start your first book today.

I love the idea of this app, and I use it everyday! There are some flaws, though. I wish there were a way to click on a photo and scroll through all of them. Also, I dislike the whole counting down thing when you take a photo and it takes it itself. I think after the animation, it should go automatically to a camera, but you can click a button when you want to take it. Additionally, I recommend adding different filters and ways of editing the photo. I absolutely love the idea, though!
Stops notifying
Riverjade_
App worked great for a month or so, and then it randomly stopped notifying me. I have to delete & reinstall the app every couple of days for it to give me the notification. I also wish you could retake photos, because sometimes it comes out blurry or bad and it doesn’t let me take it again. But my main concern is that it is weird about notifying, and I don’t want to have to keep installing the app to try to get it to work.
Developer Response
Hi, Good to contact us. It could be a memory issue.Is there still enough free memory available?Or is 'Low Power Mode' activated in your iPhone settings because this could cause issues with notifications.Could you send us a supportmail from within the app (Menu->’Feedback and support'), with that we have all the relevant info (PYMversion, OS version, Device type).You can see this info in the prefixed mail. Till later,PYM
Pay to backup?
J. S. P.
Been a reliable app over the years (I’ve been using since 2014). Hoping to order the books which is an amazing feature. But now charging to save to my own iCloud? Not a nice move…. The editing and other features make sense for a paid version. BeReel and others may seem like more meaningful competitors now.
Developer Response
Thank you for being a loyal user since 2014—we truly appreciate your support! We're excited that you're interested in ordering books and hope you’ll love that feature. Regarding iCloud backups, you can still save your backups to your own cloud, and PYM remains fully usable without a subscription. The additional features, including editing tools, are designed to enhance the experience for those who choose them. We always value feedback and are continuously working to make PYM even better.
Hard to download pics
Googoloojsidndjjzkwbe
No good way to download photos. You have to go one by one. This is their way of pushing you to… buy a photo book? Which is not an alternative to downloading images. Odd choice to make this intentionally difficult.
Developer Response
Hello,Thank you for this feedback.In the PYM settings you can select the option to ’save photo to camera roll’.All your new PYMphotos will then be saved, so not retroactively.Since there is no option yet to download all your earlier PYMs in one batch (only one by one), it would be a better and simple idea to make it an opt-out instead of an opt-in.We’ll put that on our list for improvements for one of the next releases.Best,PYM
A meaningful one this round:
- Yearbook covers in new styles, or your own photo.
- Replay a day or a whole trip from any album.
- Albums can now have an administrator.
- Baby books gain a section for newborn visits.
Got 5 seconds? A quick App Store review really helps.
