Word of the yearFinally
And this is just the start.
The preview is what gets printed. Your moments and figures start empty: anything shown faded is an example and will not be printed.
A year summed up as a print: your names and the year, five moments with where they happened, four figures of your own, the word of the year, a line, and three true figures worked out for the year — its days, its weekends, its full moons. Four styles. 250 g matte paper, A4 to 70 × 100 cm, or a printable file.

Full description
The print that sums up your year like the recap everyone shares in stories each December, but printed, and given: your names and the year in large type, five highlights with where they happened, four figures of your own (“1,247 coffees”, “3 countries”, “1 dog”), the word of the year, a line. And three true figures worked out from the year: its days, its weekends, its full moons.
You write your moments or pick a prompt — fifteen ideas, a dice per moment, “Shuffle them all” — you type your figures, you choose a style: the story gradient, the newspaper, the gig poster or the Swiss grid. The preview follows every keystroke, and it is exactly what gets printed. A button shares one line of your recap with an accomplice. The gift for Christmas, Valentine’s or the anniversary of a first date — for a couple, a best friend or a whole family.

Frequently asked questions
What does the print show?
Your names and the year in large type, five moments of the year with where they happened, four figures of your own with what they count, the word of the year and a line. Under the figures, three true figures worked out for the year: its days, its weekends and its full moons. It follows the shape of the recap everyone shares in their stories every December — printed on paper, for once.
Do I have to fill everything in?
No. The names, the year and a first moment are enough; the print builds up from what you add, and an empty line is not printed. Anything shown faded in the preview is an example and never goes to print.
Where do the three figures at the bottom come from?
They are worked out from the year you type: the number of days, of Saturdays and of full moons — those last counted one by one with the astronomy formulas behind our star maps. Change the year and they change with it.
Who is it a gift for?
For a couple, yours or your friends’, for a best friend, for a whole family: the names are free text. It is given at Christmas, on Valentine’s Day or on the anniversary of a first date, when the year you’ve just had deserves a place on the wall.
What does the “Share my recap” button do?
It sends one line of your recap — your names, the year, your biggest figure — and the address of this page to whoever you choose, through your phone’s share sheet. Nothing else leaves your phone: no image, none of what you typed.
Can I see the print before ordering?
Yes. The preview follows every keystroke and is exactly what gets printed: the names, the year, your moments, your figures and the chosen style.
