Every day your photo library contains memories from the same date in previous years, but you'd never know unless you happen to check the 'Memories' section. An on this day photos shortcut for iPhone surfaces every photo taken on today's date across all your past years instantly. It's a simple, delightful daily habit that takes one tap and costs nothing.
Tap the shortcut and it queries your photo library for all images with a creation date matching today's month and day, regardless of year. The matching photos are displayed in a quick preview, years of memories from a single date, surfaced in one tap without scrolling through your entire library.
Go to getturin.com and describe your shortcut (e.g., 'Show all photos I took on today's date in past years').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the on this day shortcut.
Tap the 'Install' button to add it directly to your Apple Shortcuts app.
Discover photos from previous years automatically without any manual searching.
Get the same 'on this day' experience as paid apps like Timehop, completely free.
Your photos stay on your device, nothing is uploaded to external servers.

Signed-in users can build one custom AI shortcut each day for free, subject to free-model availability. Continued generation uses prepaid credit according to model usage, and a 0.1 credit compile fee applies only when an installable paid shortcut is stored. No subscription or App Store download is required.
Compatibility depends on the actions the shortcut uses and the software on your device. Review the generated actions before installing, especially when a shortcut relies on newer Apple features or third-party apps.
It depends on its actions. Device-only actions can run locally, while web, weather, AI, and other online services need a connection. Turin needs a connection to build and install the shortcut.
Absolutely. You can describe any changes to Turin and get a new version in seconds, or open the shortcut in the Apple Shortcuts app and edit the actions directly.
