Daily Video Diary
A written diary asks you to sit down and describe the day. A video diary just shows it. Dayjavu builds one from the clips you already take, so keeping it going costs you nothing beyond the filming you were doing anyway.
A calendar, not a blank page
Dayjavu opens on a month-by-month calendar of your own footage. Every day that contains a video shows a thumbnail; every day that does not is simply blank. It is immediately obvious which stretches of your life you captured and which you did not.
That view alone tends to change how people film. Once you can see the gaps, you start closing them, not out of obligation, but because the record is visibly yours.
Keep it current, or catch up in batches
Some people add to their diary weekly. Others open Dayjavu twice a year and process six months in one sitting using the date-range import. Both work, because the app never assumes you have been keeping pace.
Compilations are not locked once made. Add newly filmed days, swap a clip you have gone off, and export a fresh version whenever you want.
Private by construction
A diary is only honest if it is private. Dayjavu processes everything on the device and writes the finished video back to your photo library. Nothing is uploaded, so nothing can leak, and there is no account to delete later.
Good for
- Journalling without writing anything down.
- Seeing how much of your year you actually captured.
- Catching up months at a time.
- Keeping the whole record on your own device.
FAQ
- Do I need to film something every day?
- No. Dayjavu uses whatever is already in your library and skips days that have nothing.
- Can I keep more than one diary?
- Yes. Compilations are independent, so a daily diary can sit alongside a travel or family one built from the same library.
- What happens to days with several videos?
- You choose which one represents the day, and where its clip begins.
