AYearAgo.Today Online Daily Journal and Diary

Remember your year, one day at a time

AYearAgo.Today is a gamified journal and life planner — write about your day, track habits and goals, build logs for anything you care about, and earn experience as you show up. Most people can't recall what they were doing a year ago. You won't have that problem.

Everything in one place

Journal entries, planning tools, progress logs, photos, and community — designed to work together.

Daily Journal

Write private or public entries about your day. Add photos, earn XP, and build a timeline you'll actually want to revisit.

Enhanced Planner

S.M.A.R.T. to-dos, habits, projects, and goals — with a calendar view so you can see what you accomplished and what's next.

Logs

Exercise, weight loss, daily sketches, expenses — create dedicated logs with dated entries and photos for any long-running track.

Photos

Upload and organize images, attach them to journal entries or log posts, and share publicly when you're ready.

Levels & Achievements

Gain XP for journaling and planner progress. Unlock site-wide AYAT achievements or create your own personal records to beat over time.

Community

Browse public entries and profiles, leave comments, favorite posts, and connect with others on the same self-improvement journey.

AYAT achievements & personal bests

Two ways to mark progress — automatic milestones for using the site, and custom tracks for whatever you're working on.

AYAT achievements

Earn these as you use AYearAgo.Today — published journal entries, words written, photos posted, planner tasks finished, comments, likes, log entries, and more. They land on your profile automatically when you hit each milestone.

  • Milestones from your first entry up to millions of words written
  • Shown on your profile and full achievement timeline
  • Includes photos from journals and log entries, not just the Photos page

Personal achievements

These are yours to define. Track a personal best — reps, pages read, miles, anything — pick a badge, log a new level when you beat it, and build a timeline of your own records.

  • You name it and choose the badge
  • Add levels over time and surpass past records
  • Great for fitness, hobbies, career goals, or one-off challenges

How it works

Three simple steps to never lose another year.

  1. Write

    Capture today's story in a journal entry — private thoughts, public highlights, or both.

  2. Plan & track

    Use the planner for tasks and habits, or start a log for anything you want to measure over time.

  3. Look back

    A year from now, scroll your entries, logs, and calendar — and remember exactly where you were.
