A year in review, for someone who runs it alone

What your year
actuallylooked like

You finished the year. The numbers are sitting in a spreadsheet where nobody will ever see them. Type the ones you are proud of and take away a set of cards and a short film you can actually post.

Nothing is connected to your books. You type what you want to say.

Or start from one of these:

Tap a card to deal the next one.

Your numbers, typed by you. We only make them look good.

The image model is never shown a single digit. Every number you see on a finished card was put there by the browser, from what you typed.

Blank cream cards laid out and overlapping on a wooden worktable in afternoon light.

Why this exists

The numbers are
already there.
Nobody sees them.

A year of work leaves a trail of figures. How many people you looked after. How many boxes went out. Which month nearly finished you off.

Those figures are the best thing you could possibly post, and almost nobody posts them — because turning a row of numbers into something worth looking at takes a skill you were never hired for.

Large companies keep a team for this. You have a spreadsheet and a Sunday evening.

A quiet corner of a one-person studio: a bench, stacked plain boxes, a roll of kraft paper and a folded apron on a hook.

Three steps, in order

Type it. Sign it off.
Then it becomes a film.

The order is fixed. There is no way to skip to the film — the cards have to be finished and proofed first, because the film is made out of them.

  1. An open notebook with blank pages and a pen resting in the gutter, on a wooden desk in late afternoon light.01

    Type the numbers

    A sentence is enough. We pull out the figures worth a card of their own and put them in an order that reads like a year rather than a spreadsheet.

  2. Three blank cream cards propped against a warm plaster wall on a wooden shelf.02

    Sign off the cards

    Pick a look, adjust it as often as you like, then set every figure exactly as you want it. Nothing goes further until you have checked each one against what you typed.

  3. A tablet on a stand showing a soft field of warm colour, with a plant out of focus behind it.03

    Get the film

    Your finished cards become a short silent film that loops cleanly, in the shape the place you are posting to actually wants.

The rule this is built on

We never draw
your numbers.

A year in review is a statement of fact. An image model asked to draw 142 will, sooner or later, draw something that is not 142 — and a card with the wrong figure on it misleads everyone you send it to. So we took the possibility away rather than managing it.

What leaves this building

Someone asked for the number in the picture. This is the request that went out.

Their note

Make it say "142 clients" in a big bold number at the top, with the year 2026 written underneath.

What the model was sent

Risograph screen-print poster artwork on warm cream paper. Palette: clay red-orange and warm amber on cream. Composition: two wide concentric arcs sweeping across the lower third like a slow sunrise. Mood: warm, celebratory, unhurried. Additional direction: Make it say in a big bold at the top, with the year underneath.. Flat two-colour printing with visible paper grain, coarse halftone texture and slight ink misregistration. Aspect ratio 9:16. Absolutely no text, no letters, no numbers, no digits, no glyphs, no typography, no captions, no labels, no signage, no watermark and no logo anywhere in the image. No people, no faces, no hands. Leave a large uninterrupted area of clear background so that something can be placed there afterwards.

text: null  ·  numbers: null  ·  stripped: 4 items

Every digit, every quoted phrase and every instruction about type is taken out before the request is sent. The model cannot misspell a number it was never given. This screen is in the product too — you can read the outgoing request yourself, every time.

Same card. The difference is drawn by your browser.

The films

Because the place you
want to post it takes video.

A set of stills does not go in a reel. That is the whole reason the film step exists, and it is the one thing you cannot do for yourself with a set of cards on your desktop.

No sound on any of them, on purpose. Every one loops without a seam.

The cards

One number a card.
Three shapes, every time.

Every set exports at 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9, so the same year fits a story, a grid and a website header without being remade.

Before you start

The questions people
actually ask

The first one is the one that matters most here, so it goes first.

  • 01Will the AI get my numbers wrong?

    It cannot, because it is never given them. The image model draws the paper — the colour, the texture, the shapes, the empty space — and it is sent a prompt with every digit and every quoted phrase stripped out of it before it leaves our servers. You can see exactly what was sent, and what was removed, on the screen where you pick a look.

    Every number and every word on a finished card is drawn afterwards by your own browser, from the characters you typed, and you can edit any of them letter by letter. Before anything can be exported you pass a proofing screen that puts what you typed next to what is on the card, character for character. If they do not match, export stays locked.

  • 02Do you use what I type, or the photos I upload, to train models?

    No. The numbers you type and any photos you upload are used to make the thing you asked for, and for nothing else. They are not used to train, fine-tune or evaluate any model, ours or anyone else's.

    Working copies are kept for up to 30 days so you can come back and finish a set, then deleted. You can delete a project, or your whole account and everything in it, at any time from your account settings — no email, no waiting on us.

  • 03Does this do my accounts, or tell me how the business is doing?

    No, and it is built so that it cannot. This is a design tool. It does not connect to any accounting system, it does not read a ledger, and it holds no benchmark data of any kind.

    It will never tell you whether a number is good, compare you to anyone else, or draw any conclusion about your business. It takes the numbers you decided to say out loud and makes them look like something worth posting. Anything beyond that is a job for a person who knows your business.

  • 04How accurate is the rest of it, and what am I responsible for?

    The visual side is generated, so it varies: sometimes a look lands first time, sometimes you will adjust it a few times. That is what the allowance is for.

    You are responsible for the numbers themselves. We show you what you typed against what is on the card, but only you know whether 142 was really 142. Publishing a figure you cannot stand behind is on you, and our acceptable use policy prohibits using this to present figures you know to be false.

  • 05How do refunds work?

    If a payment has gone wrong, or the service has not done what this page says it does, email us and we will sort it out. Our full terms are on the refund policy page.

    Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time and stay usable until the end of the period you have already paid for; we do not pro-rate a period that has begun. Where a generation fails or comes back unusable, the first thing we do is restore the credits it consumed, because that is what actually puts you back where you were.

  • 06How do I cancel?

    In your account, under billing, there is a cancel button on the page itself. One click, then one confirmation. No phone call, no email, no chat window, no retention maze.

    Cancelling stops the next renewal. You keep everything you have already made, and you keep access until the period you paid for runs out.

  • 07What happens to credits I do not use?

    Each period's allowance is for that period. Anything unused at the end of it does not carry over into the next one.

    There are no credit packs and no balance to top up. If you run out, the only route is a higher tier, and you can move up at any point. Credits are an allowance for using this service — they are not money, not stored value, cannot be cashed out and cannot be transferred to anyone else.

  • 08Is there an age limit?

    Yes. You must be at least 18 to open an account and to hold a subscription. This is a tool for running a business, and the service is not directed at children.

    If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we close it and delete the data associated with it.

You already did
the hard part.

The year is finished. All that is left is saying so properly. Start free, build the whole set, and only pay when you want it moving.
