Nanal - Photo Diary & Journal

A calendar that fills up with your photos.

Workouts, books, the fandom you love.
Keep each of your days in a single photo.

One photo and one line is enough for a day. A month later, your
calendar is full of the days you actually lived.


▪ The calendar is the diary

Each day's photo sits right in its date cell. Glance at a month and
it comes back to you — no scrolling through a list of entries.

▪ Three taps and today is saved

Open, pick a photo, save. That is the whole flow. You are never
required to write. On the days you want to, there is room for more.

▪ Three home screen widgets

Today — today's photo and note, without opening the app.
This week — your seven days at a glance.
This month — a month filled with your photos; flip back through
past months right on the home screen. Choose how much of your
wallpaper shows through.

▪ Make it yours

Seventeen calendar colours. Week starts on Sunday or Monday. Photo
shape — fill or stamp. Dark mode. A high-contrast option that darkens
text over bright photos. Nanal uses the font you picked in your
device settings.

▪ Lock it

Protect your diary with a passcode or your fingerprint.

▪ Your diary stays on your device

There is no developer server. Every feature works without an account.
Before you change phones, export your photos and writing as a single
file. When you restore, Nanal counts what came back and shows you the
numbers — so you know nothing went missing.

▪ Google Drive backup, only when you ask

Keep a backup in your own Google Drive. It uploads only when you tap
it, never in the background. The app can see nothing in your Drive
except the backup files it created itself.

▪ No photo permission

Nanal uses Android's own photo picker and receives only the single
photo you chose. It never reads, browses or counts your gallery.


Nanal is free. A small banner sits at the bottom of the calendar
screen — never on the screens where you write or read an entry.
After you save an entry, a full-screen ad may appear, at most once
every 30 minutes and never right after the app opens.
There are no purchases and no subscriptions.
