About Backstory: Every Year

Backstory is a beautiful, private journal for the milestones that shape your life — the ones that come back every year. Save your anniversaries, birthdays, personal achievements, and cherished memories. Backstory gently reminds you when they return and helps you reflect on how far you've come. Features: • One-tap milestone creation — add a date, a story, photos, and even a voice memo • Gentle reminders — never forget the dates that matter to you • Timeline view — see your year at a glance with all your milestones beautifully arranged • "Around this time" — discover memories from years past on quiet days • "This day, across the years" — see how a milestone has evolved over time • Family sharing — create a private circle, invite the people you love, and share only the memories you choose • Tender photo covers — tap to reveal sensitive or emotional photos when you're ready • Milestone markers — celebrate round anniversaries (5, 10, 25 years…) • Import from Calendar — bring in your existing yearly events instantly • Encrypted backups — export your memories with AES-256 encryption • Biometric lock — protect your memories with Face ID or your device passcode • Private by default — no account required, no ads, no tracking • Dark mode — gorgeous in light and dark • Available in English, Spanish, Hindi, and Chinese Your memories stay on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded unless you choose to share it with a circle you created — and you can stop sharing, or delete your account and everything in it, at any time. No ads. No tracking. No subscriptions. Just you and the moments that matter.
