One of my favorite features of my phone is resurfacing old photos. Reliving memories, reminiscing on trips, and seeing life milestones – especially those of my son – play out before my eyes are just amazing experiences. Photos that in the past would be tucked away in books and forgotten can now just show up on my Home Screen without any effort on my part. I love it.

There’s always been a piece of the puzzle missing, though. For actual years, I’ve been looking for an app that would allow me to revisit pictures I took on this date in past years. No algorithm. No filtering out pictures deemed of lower quality. Just a grid of photos from past years in reverse chronological order. That way, I can experience my entire photo library via a structured, ongoing process.

Finally, there’s an app that does just this, and it is fantastic. On This Day from Florian Grossmann has quickly become one of my favorite apps and one that I turn to daily for reviewing old pictures. It’s simple, it’s customizable, it’s well-designed, and it does exactly what I want it to do, enabling me to enjoy my photos from the past each and every day.

I reviewed On This Day on MacStories, so I’d love it if you would check out the review and give On This Day a spin.
