Spotify has data for most music I choose to listen to – on my computer, my phone, in the car, on smart speakers, etc. So Spotify’s end of year review is more complete.
Last.fm only has data for music I listen on my laptop, but I prefer their end of year reports for the amount of geeky detail they go into!
They have two Year In Review options: a page of graphs, and a more infographic/animation-focused report.
Backloggd is a site for tracking video game playing. My end-of-year recap is at backloggd.com/u/dalelane/recap which is the best place to look at it, but I’ve made a copy here.
Google Maps don’t produce a Year In Review email any more, since they moved location history data to be stored on-device instead of in the cloud. That’s a shame, so I asked Claude to make me one of my own using the data from Google Maps on my iPhone.
It came up with: dalelane.github.io/googlemaps-year-in-review
I got out of the habit of logging what I read, but this year I got back into Goodreads after wanting a way to share what I read on holiday.
Goodreads have two flavours of “year in review” reports:
I’ve long used podcasts as a way to distract me while travelling for business trips, doing housework at the weekends, shopping, and much more…
This year, I listened to even more podcasts than usual – the increased time I’ve spent walking this year gave me an extra couple of hours a day.
I use the (brilliant) Overcast podcast player, which generates a report of how much time I’ve spent listening to each podcast this year.
I wrote last year about my efforts to get my health back on track in 2024, and a big part of this was to exercise more. Walk more. Run a bit. Sit less. Move more.
Even then, I knew that the only thing harder than starting to exercise more would be to maintain that when it wasn’t a new thing. So… what happened in 2025?
I still miss Twitter, despite it being over two years since I left. My main replacements have been Bluesky and Mastodon, even though I don’t use them as much as I used to use Twitter.
Continuing my effort to save the end-of-year reports from my various homes across the web, here is what I get from Bluesky and Mastodon.
