A small, private journal for a line or two each day. Every date keeps what you wrote on that day in other years, so today sits beside the same day last year and the year before. It stays on your own device, with no account and no AI.
Annals are a yearly record of events, kept year after year. Annalography is the art of keeping yours: a line or two a day, side by side with the same day in other years.
Annalography asks for very little: a line or two about today. Come back next year on the same date and you’ll find this year waiting for you.
Open it and today’s date is at the top, ready for a line. Underneath sit the most recent years you wrote on that same date, so the page always shows three years at a glance, and it keeps rolling forward as the years go by.
There’s no fixed start date and no blank boxes to feel bad about. Missed a year? Only the years you wrote appear. Want to fill in a memory from years ago? Pick the year under the date, or tap “Add a line for 2024”, and write it in.
Seal a note for six months, a year, two years, or any date you choose. It waits as a sealed envelope, unread even by you, until that morning arrives. Then it opens on that day’s page: “A letter from you, written October 9, 2026.”
A solid dot marks the days you wrote this year; small hollow dots show the other years that share that date. Jump to any year, or see a whole year at a glance. Tap a day to read it or write it.
Remember the day at the lake, but not which year? Search looks through every line in every year at once, with your words highlighted. Type a few words in any order; capital letters don’t matter.
A journal like this is meant to last, so Annalography looks after it. Save a backup whenever you like: one small file you can keep in iCloud Drive or Google Drive, or email to yourself. Restoring one adds its lines back without erasing anything.
Annalography was built so they stay that way. There’s no company server holding your lines, because they never leave your device.
Everything is kept in your browser on your own phone or computer. It’s never uploaded, so no one else can read it.
Nothing to sign up for, no password to remember, and no email address to hand over.
Nothing reads, summarizes or rewrites your lines. Every word is yours.
No ads and no analytics, in the app or on this website. It works offline, too.
Annalography runs in your web browser, so there’s no app store and nothing to download. Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app, even without the internet.
On iPhone, adding it to your home screen also helps Safari keep your lines safe.
On a Mac with Safari, choose File, then Add to Dock. Or simply bookmark it. It works in any modern browser.
Each phone or computer keeps its own journal. A backup file is how you move your lines from one to another.
