Heyday keeps tabs on your location throughout the day and generates a timeline. You can create notes and add commentary to any photos you’ve taken at those locations.
How often are you at an event and you thought about documenting the moment, but you either didn’t have time, or it wasn’t appropriate to be fiddling with your iPhone? Then, later, recording your thoughts simply wasn’t a priority, the memory had faded or you had simply forgotten. For me, that includes most parties, birthdays and weddings I’ve ever attended or hosted, and countless trips and interesting daily events.
If that also describes you, then you might find Heyday by Hey as useful as I have. Heyday is a free photo/video journaling tool for your iPhone or iPod touch that continuously and automatically chronicles your photos, videos and locations, then lets you add your witty commentary whenever you have the time or inspiration.
When you first open the app, it walks you through a quick tutorial and asks that you grant it access to your photos and location data. (Make sure that you grant it the access it wants otherwise you’ll severely limit the app’s usefulness.) After that, you’re prompted to create an account; you can either log in via Facebook or create an account with an email address and password. After you’ve finished those tasks, then Heyday builds a timeline for you, organizing your existing photos and videos by day, time and location. You can then scroll through each moment, adding notes, deleting unwanted location points and working with your photos.
