Photo Calendar
Your camera roll already knows what happened this year.
Photo Calendar reads the date each photo was taken and builds a twelve-month calendar from it — one photo per month, placed in the month it actually happened. Then it puts that calendar where you look every day: your Lock Screen, your Home Screen, or your wall.

Twelve Photos, One Year
The Story
You Take Thousands of Photos. You See Almost None of Them Again.
A store-bought calendar is twelve of someone else's pictures. A custom one means uploading, choosing, waiting for delivery and paying per copy — and the year has moved on by the time it arrives. Meanwhile the photos that actually belong on your calendar are already on your phone, already dated. Photo Calendar just puts them in order: March's trip on March, July's birthday on July. Twelve photos, one style, about a minute.
How It Works
Connect your library
Photo Calendar reads the date each photo was taken and sorts a year into twelve months, with a suggested cover for each. The sorting happens on the phone — nothing is uploaded.
Swap what you like
Tap a month to pick a different photo; the palette and the note follow the new picture. Choose a layout and a filter, circle the days that matter. Any month you edit stays exactly as you left it.
Put it where you look
Add the widget to your Home Screen, set the month as your Lock Screen wallpaper, or export the whole year as a print-ready PDF for A4 or A5.
What's Inside
Sorted by When It Happened
The app reads each photo's capture date, not the order you saved it. A year becomes twelve months with a cover suggested for each — you only step in where you want a different picture.
On Your Lock Screen
A wallpaper that changes with the month, rendered at your screen's exact resolution so the system never upscales it. Pick a Live Photo as the cover and it becomes a Live wallpaper that plays when you press. (Premium)
On Your Home Screen
The month you made, as a widget, with today's date ringed. It switches to the next month on the 1st by itself. The widget is part of the free version.
On Your Wall
The full year as a 12-page, 300 dpi PDF laid out for A4 or A5 — ready for a home printer or any print shop. Grandparents tend to like this one. (Premium)
Nine Layouts
Full, Top, Inset and Bottom are free. Wall, Album, Polaroid, Grid and Desk come with Premium. Switch between them in a tap; the photo and the note come along.
Fourteen Filters
From Film and Retro to Golden and B&W, each with a strength slider. Original, Soft, Golden and B&W are free; the rest are Premium.
Make the Month Yours
Circle the days that matter with one of 15 marks, or fill a date with its own photo. Add a note to the month, pick the week start, drag and pinch everything into place, and save a look as a template for other months.
Paper You Can Almost Feel
Paper textures with adjustable grain, six fonts, and your own paper and text colors — palettes can be pulled straight from the photo.
Your Photos Stay Put
Everything runs on your device. There is no account, and your photos never leave the phone. Optional iCloud backup keeps your months in sync between iPhone and iPad.
Two Things Worth Knowing
Photo Calendar makes the calendar — it does not print or ship one. The print option is a PDF you take to your own printer or a local print shop, which is also why it costs nothing per copy.
You can try every layout, filter, font and texture before paying. Saving, sharing or printing a page that uses a Premium element is what needs Premium; the free standard export (1600 px on the long edge) carries a small signature in the corner. Premium comes as a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase, and one purchase covers iPhone and iPad.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Photo Calendar pick a photo for each month?
It reads the date each photo in your library was taken, groups a year into twelve months and suggests a cover for each. The trip in March lands on March. You can swap any month's photo; the palette and note follow, and months you have edited are never overwritten.
Can I put the calendar on my Lock Screen or Home Screen?
Yes. The Home Screen widget shows the month you made with today circled and turns to the next month on the 1st — it is included in the free version. Lock Screen wallpaper, rendered at your screen's exact resolution, is a Premium feature; a Live Photo cover becomes a Live wallpaper.
Can I print it as a wall calendar?
Yes, with Premium. The full year exports as a 12-page, 300 dpi PDF laid out for A4 or A5. Print it at home or at any print shop — the app does not print or ship calendars itself.
Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?
No. The sorting and editing happen on your device, there is no account, and your photos never leave the phone. The only thing that syncs is the optional iCloud backup, which goes to your own iCloud.
What is free and what does Premium add?
Free includes four of the nine layouts, four of the fourteen filters, marks, notes, the widget and standard export with a small corner signature. Premium unlocks every layout, texture and filter, HD 3000 px and Ultra 4000 px export, Lock Screen wallpaper, Live Photo export, the full-year print PDF and clean export. It is weekly, monthly or yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes. Photo Calendar runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 18 or later), one purchase covers both, and optional iCloud backup keeps your months the same on each.
