Every photo of your life, in one place.

Yearsail finds the pictures scattered across your computer and old drives, and lays them out year by year.

Coming soon for Mac and Windows. Your photos never leave your computer.

From a pile of folders to the story of your years.

Most of us have decades of photos spread over laptops, backup drives and old memory cards. Point Yearsail at them, and it gathers everything without moving or changing a single file.

See your life by year

Photos are sorted by when they were actually taken, not when they were copied. Duplicates are set aside, so each moment shows up once.

Moments, gathered for you

A trip, a birthday, a holiday dinner. Yearsail groups photos taken together into moments you can rename, split or combine.

Everyone, in one place

Yearsail recognizes the faces in your photos right on your computer. Name someone once, and see every picture of them across the decades.

Tell the story behind it

Some things a photo can't say. Talk or type the story in your own words, and Yearsail keeps it with the picture for the people who come after you.
