A small app, made on purpose.

Oobo is built by an independent team. One photo a day, drawn in crayon, kept on your iPhone.

What Oobo is

Oobo is a photo journal for iPhone and iPad. You take one photo a day. Oobo redraws it in dry pastel crayon, keeping the composition, and you add a short handwritten note. The pages collect on a paper calendar you can export or set as a story. There is no account, no feed and no cloud journal: the photos, the doodles and the notes stay on the device.

A Oobo month recap: a paper calendar for October 2026 with five crayon doodles and the line five memories doodled.
A month recap. Every doodled day on one page.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a photo

    From your library or the camera. One photo, once a day.

  2. 2

    Let Oobo redraw it

    The composition stays. The faces, the place, the light. Only the surface turns to crayon.

  3. 3

    Write the line

    A date and a few words. That is the page.

How it is built

  • Native iOS app for iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later.
  • Photos, doodles and notes are stored on the device. No account, no cloud journal.
  • The crayon pass sends the selected photo once to the AI image provider each::labs, and the doodle is written next to the original.
  • Oobo Plus is billed by Apple through the App Store. No card details ever reach Oobo.
  • This website is static HTML. No cookies, no third-party fonts. Page views are counted with Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies.

Editorial standards

  • The sample pages on this site are demo content, not customer photographs.
  • Claims about storage, billing and AI processing match what the app does today.
  • When the app changes, the site and the agent files change with it.
