One day at a time, in real time.

Yesterly only lives on iPhone and Android. There is no web version. We wanted the app on the same surface as your alarm clock, not buried inside another browser tab.

A short onboarding asks you for two things. The year you want to revisit, and the country you were in. That is enough to sound right. The cost of bread, the weather on your street, the song on local radio.

Most people pick a year that already had a name in their head before they opened the app. The year they turned sixteen. The year they moved away. The year before everything changed.

The moment onboarding ends, your first card opens. Today's date, that year. Date, age, weather. Then the day's themed lead — Monday brings the week's #1 song, Tuesday the #1 movie, Wednesday a cultural moment, Thursday a temporal pointer, Friday a TV moment, Saturday a small atmospheric texture. Sunday closes with a weekly recap. Three minutes, then the card closes.

Tomorrow's card does not exist yet. It arrives tomorrow. The calendar is the product.

The free Postcard tier gives you one card a day, forever. The Magazine tier adds a persistent footer with the week's anchors (#1 song, #1 movie, where you are in the week) and goes deeper on every themed day — top five songs on Mondays, the full cinema week on Tuesdays, paired cultural moments on Wednesdays, look-back and look-forward together on Thursdays. Sunday becomes the full paper, with a reflective mood paragraph that synthesises the week.

Not a feed. Not a notification trap. Not a place to optimise yourself. Yesterly does not interpret your past or sell it back to you with insight. It tells you what was on the radio. You tell yourself the rest. That is the trick.
