Every message you have ever sent each other becomes a star – and together they form a galaxy that only the two of you could have made. Your first hello, your first “I love you”, the nights you stayed up: it is all in there.
See your galaxy – it’s freeLightyears reads your chat on your phone and finds the moments that made you. Each one becomes a bright star you can find again – with the photo you sent that day, and your own words for it.
They get a link. It opens with their name – one touch, and three years of messages rise out of the dark and gather into your galaxy. Your moments light up one by one with your photos, and at the end every star travels to draw the picture of you two.
Everything you see comes from your chat: how long you have been writing, who writes more, your busiest days, your quiet weeks, the nights you stayed up. Who wrote first decides which way it turns, and its colours are made from your names. Every galaxy is a one of one, with its own catalogue number and a place in the sky taken from the minute you first wrote.
Drop in your chat export and your galaxy appears in seconds – free. Export it with media and your photos find their moments by themselves. Then add your words, and only pay if you want to give it.

Make yours nowYour chat is read only on your own phone or computer and is never uploaded. Your galaxy keeps the rhythm of your messages – when, how often, how long – never what you wrote.
No. The export is opened only in your browser. From each message Lightyears only uses the time, the sender, the length and whether it holds a heart or an “I love you” – never the text. Not even we can read what you wrote.
Orders open soon. Your galaxy as your own page with a private link: it opens with their name, gathers out of the dark and shows your moments. It works on any phone. You also get a poster file up to 50 × 70 cm for any print shop.
From the dates and a few words: your first message, the first “I love you” (in English or German), your longest day, the longest time apart and today. If you export with media, each moment gets the photo you sent closest to that day – you can swap any photo and rename any moment.
While you make your galaxy, they are only opened in your browser and stay on your device. Only the photos you choose for your moments become part of your page.
No. The shape comes from the rhythm of your messages, which no other chat has. On top of that, who wrote first decides which way it turns, your names decide its colours and the gold line that joins your moments, and the minute you first wrote decides its catalogue number and coordinates.
Yes. Any chat with two to four people works – each person gets their own spiral arm and colour.
No. Lightyears is an independent project by RYVO in Hamburg. It reads the export file WhatsApp creates for you.
