The 2027 season
Top Nine 2027
A year is recapped in December but built in January. This is the guide for the 2027 season: what to keep, what to drop, and how the nine will be chosen.
Why start in January
The December recap ranks what you published. If the year is thin, the nine is thin — no tool can fix that. The useful work happens now: decide what the account is for, keep a rhythm you can sustain, and keep the posts you would want to see again in twelve months.
- What to expectHow the ritual will look in 2027.
- Prepare the recapWhat to set up before December.
- Plan the yearA rhythm that survives contact with real life.
- The appRank the year from published posts.
What does not change
- The format. Nine posts, three by three, one metric.
- The honesty problem. A recap with invented numbers is still a lie, whatever year is printed on it.
- The timing. The last week of December is when people look.
A good year recap is decided in the eleven months that come before it.
The app builds this card from your published posts.
Prevz reads your Instagram account (optional, read-only), ranks your nine by likes, saves or comments, and exports a Story at 1080 × 1920 or a Post at 1080 × 1350.
