The temporary camera

For the photos you need only for a while. Pick how long each one lives. It slowly fades, then deletes itself. Your gallery stays clean.

Snap it. Pick when it goes.

Every photo has a countdown. As the time runs out, it fades, a little more each day, until it's gone.

Expiring today

For the things you need only today

Where you parked, a receipt, a Wi-Fi password, the whiteboard after a meeting, the price tag you want to compare. Useful now, clutter tomorrow.

Keep what matters

Not everything should fade. Open a photo to see exactly how long it has left, and change your mind in one tap.

  • Extend it by an hour, a day, a week or a month
  • Keep it forever: save it to your gallery
  • Add a short note: "Level 2, B14", "Bring the form"
  • Select several photos to keep, extend, share or delete

Capture from your home screen

Three widgets, a Quick Settings tile and app shortcuts open the camera from anywhere.

  • Latest photo: your newest or pinned photo, with its countdown
  • Next to fade: the three photos that disappear soonest
  • Quick capture: one tap into the camera, with its own expiry
Fadio widgets on a home screen: the latest photo, the next three to fade, and two Quick capture buttons for 1 day and 1 hour

48 hours to change your mind

When a photo expires, it moves to the Bin. Restore it, or delete it right away. After 48 hours it's gone for good.

One quiet notification a day tells you when photos are about to expire, only if you want it.

Deleting is the pointOnce a photo leaves the Bin, nobody can get it back. If it matters, tap Keep to save it to your gallery.

Uninstalling deletes everythingAll of Fadio's photos go with it, Bin included. Save anything you want first.

Timing can drift a littleAndroid may delay background work to save battery, so a photo can expire a bit later than its countdown, for example while your phone is off.

Once it leaves, it's not temporaryA photo you keep, share or screenshot is outside Fadio and isn't deleted.

No location in photosFadio doesn't add where you took a photo.

Snap it. Forget it.
