Dayjavu

Family Video Diary

Children change too slowly to notice day to day and too fast to believe in hindsight. A day-by-day film is the only format that shows both at once, and you have almost certainly already shot the footage for it.

The change is only visible in sequence

Any single clip of a two-year-old looks like a clip of a two-year-old. Three hundred of them in order look like a year of growing up: the walk steadies, the sentences lengthen, the face reorganises itself.

That effect needs consistency more than quality. A shaky ten-second clip of breakfast does more work in the sequence than a carefully composed portrait.

Parents already film enough

The average parent’s camera roll has video on far more days than they would guess. Dayjavu’s date-range import surfaces exactly which days those are, so building a year is a matter of choosing rather than shooting.

You can build one compilation per child, one for the whole family, and one per year, all from the same underlying library.

Footage of your kids should stay yours

Nothing is uploaded. Dayjavu has no servers and no account system, so video of your family is processed on your iPhone and written straight back to your photo library. What you share afterwards is entirely your decision.

Good for

  • A year of a child’s life in a few minutes.
  • One compilation per child, per year, or per trip.
  • Grandparent-friendly. Export and send as a normal video.
  • No cloud upload of footage of your children.

FAQ

Can I make a separate film for each child?
Yes, with the one-time purchase, choosing different clips for each. The free version covers one compilation.
What about days with no footage?
They are skipped. With children you will usually find the gaps are smaller than expected.
Is any of this uploaded?
No. All processing happens on your device and the result saves to your own photo library.
