Everything has a clear place.

A practical guide to capturing today, finding saved media, making a movie and keeping a recoverable copy of your memories.

Last updated 26 August 2026

Start in 30 seconds

Open Today and tap Add today’s moment.
Record a new clip or choose one photo or video with Android Photo Picker.
Select the one-, two-, three- or five-second part you want to remember.
Review it, then save. It appears on Today, Calendar and inside the selected project.

ClipMyDay asks for camera or microphone access only when the action needs it. Choosing existing media does not require full-library permission.

Where your pictures and videos live

1. Gallery original

The file you selected remains in its original location. ClipMyDay does not modify or delete it.

2. Private ClipMyDay copy

A working copy lives inside app-private storage. ClipMyDay uses this copy to trim moments and build movies. Other apps cannot normally browse this space.

3. Files you export

A movie, shared moment or archive leaves private storage only after you choose a destination through Android.

Catch up without guilt

Open Calendar and choose an empty past day. Select a photo or video for that date. ClipMyDay checks available metadata and asks you to confirm when it cannot prove an exact match.

Missing a day never damages a project. There is no streak punishment, and ClipMyDay never scans your whole gallery to fill gaps automatically.

Make your life movie

Open a project and choose Make a movie.
Select a month, year, birthday-to-birthday period or custom range.
Review the ordered source moments and choose a style.
Export. Keep ClipMyDay open or return later; interrupted work has a recovery path.

720p is the reliability-first option. 1080p and capability-gated 4K depend on the app edition and the device’s codecs.

Create an archive before changing phones

Go to Settings → Archive → Create archive. Choose a safe destination outside the phone if possible.

The ZIP includes readable JSON, media files and SHA-256 checksums. During restore, ClipMyDay stages the archive privately, verifies it and shows a preview before replacing or merging data.

An archive stored only on the same phone is not protection against losing that phone. Copy it to a computer, removable storage or storage provider you trust.

Troubleshooting

Camera does not open

Open Android Settings → Apps → ClipMyDay → Permissions and allow Camera. Existing memories remain available without it.

A video is unsupported

Choose Make compatible copy when offered. The original remains untouched.

An export was interrupted

Return to the export recovery screen and retry. ClipMyDay keeps verified completed work and does not report a movie as ready before verification succeeds.
