Common questions

Install Yearweave

Yearweave requires a compatible iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Download or update it from the App Store, then open the app to begin planning your first chapter.

iCloud and local storage

Yearweave saves content on your device. When private iCloud sync is available and enabled, Apple CloudKit can sync it through your iCloud account. If iCloud is unavailable, you can keep using a local copy; sync can resume when iCloud is available again.

Calendar context

Calendar access is optional and requested only when you choose to add calendar context. Existing events appear read-only behind your Yearweave plans. The app never creates, edits, or deletes calendar events.

Photos and files

Choose media with Apple’s PhotosPicker and file references with the system document picker when you add them to a chapter. You do not need to grant broad photo-library access just to use the system picker. Selected content may be copied into the app’s private storage.

Restore a purchase

Open the purchase screen and choose Restore Purchases. Use the same Apple Account that made the purchase, and make sure your device has an internet connection. If nothing is found, Apple has not identified a previous Yearweave purchase for that Apple Account.

Manage or cancel a subscription

Subscriptions are billed and managed by Apple. On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, choose Subscriptions, then select Yearweave. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.

Export your year

Use Yearweave’s export options to create a shareable version of your year. Privacy-safe exports are intended to omit private chapter details by default. If you choose to include details, review the export preview before sharing it through Apple’s share sheet.

Delete your data

You can edit or delete individual content in Yearweave. For information about deleting local app data and iCloud-synced content, including Apple backup limitations, read our data-deletion guide.
