On This Day
See the photos you took on this day in earlier years, then keep the best and clear out the rest with a swipe.
Free for iPhone · No account, no ads, no tracking
How it works
1. A gentle reminder
Every morning: how many photos and videos you took on this date in earlier years, and how much space they take.
2. Swipe through the years
Right to keep, left to delete, up to share. Stop halfway and carry on later.
3. Delete in one go
You see what you picked and how much space you free. Deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days.
On your Home Screen
With Plus: a widget with your memories from this day, in small, medium and large. Three styles: Photo, Photo Stack and Postcard.
On This Day Plus
A one-time purchase of $4.99 that adds the Home Screen widgets, in three styles. No subscription, shared with your family. The app and the cleanup are free. If you like the app, you can leave a tip in Settings → Say thanks.
Private by design
Your photos never leave your iPhone. No account, no ads, no tracking, no server. Location data is removed from photos you share.
Help
No photos on today's date?
Try everything with sample photos: Settings (gear, top right) → Try with sample photos.
Deleted something by mistake?
Open the Photos app → Collections → Recently Deleted. Photos stay there for 30 days.
Bought Plus on another iPhone, or reinstalled the app?
Settings → On This Day Plus → Restore Purchases.
The widget says "Open On This Day"?
Open the app once, so it can prepare today's photos.
No morning reminder?
Turn on Settings → Morning reminder in the app, and check that notifications for On This Day are on in the iPhone's Settings.
