Keepr The photos worth seeing again are rarely the ones you go looking for. "On this day" brings back what you took on today's date in previous years.
What it shows#
Photos from today's date in earlier years, going back up to fifteen.
It doesn't show everything from those days. It picks a handful of the strongest from each year, and skips near-identical shots of the same scene, so you get a few good photographs from a birthday rather than a slow scroll through forty frames of one afternoon.
Only your own photos#
Today, "On this day" resurfaces only photos you uploaded yourself.
That's deliberate and conservative: it can't surprise you with a photo a relative added to a shared album that you'd forgotten was there. It's how it works now rather than a permanent promise — if it ever widens to include shared photos, that will be a visible change rather than a quiet one.
Reminders are optional#
There's a daily notification and an occasional email, both optional and each with its own setting.
Two things about how they behave, since both are unusual:
- They arrive in your local morning, not whenever a server happens to run. Keepr uses your device's time zone for this.
- They back off if you're not interested. If several notifications go unopened they pause by themselves, and resume the moment you open the app again. The email is capped at twice a week with a widening gap.
A feature meant to be a small pleasure shouldn't become a nuisance, so it's built not to be.
Sharing one#
A resurfaced photo can be posted to your circles as a Moment without moving it out of the album it lives in. It stays where it is; the Moment is just a way of showing it to people for a day.
Where to find it#
On the home screen when there's something to show, and in a dedicated view where you can look through the years properly rather than only what surfaced today.
