## What is Fotowecker?

Some photos exist only so you can find them again later: the warranty receipt, the meter reading, the label of a wine you liked. Others you simply want to see again one day – your child on the first day of school, the garden a year ago.

Fotowecker keeps both for you and speaks up exactly when the day comes.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick photos, or share them to Fotowecker from another app
• Set a day and a time – tomorrow, in a year or in ten
• That's it. On that day the notification arrives, with a preview

WHAT FOTOWECKER DOES
• Widget on the home and lock screen: the next reminder with a countdown
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Next reminders in Fotowecker"
• Yearly repetition for anniversaries and birthdays
• Expand the notification to see every photo of that day as a gallery
• Surprise mode: the preview stays blurred until the day, and the notification gives nothing away – not even on the lock screen
• A camera inside the app, at full resolution. Those photos stay in Fotowecker
• Move reminders, archive them, and see them on all your devices through iCloud
• For iPhone and iPad, in German and English, with VoiceOver and large text

YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS
Fotowecker has no server of its own, no user account and no sign-up. There is no advertising, no tracking and no analytics. Your photos and reminders live on your device and – if you use iCloud – in your private iCloud database, which only you can access.

The app deliberately asks for no read access to your photo library: it only ever sees the images you pick yourself.

FREE AND PRO
Three open reminders are free forever. If you need more, Fotowecker Pro unlocks them with a single purchase – no subscription, no follow-up costs. iCloud backup is always included, purchase or not.

PLEASE NOTE
Fotowecker stores its own copy of your photos and is not a substitute for a backup. Please keep the originals in your library.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-29

Fotowecker now looks the way it works: calm, and about your photos.

NEW IN 1.1
• A reminder that is due fills a large photo card, so you see the picture before you read the date
• The countdown sits in its own badge and is easier to find at a glance
• Buttons, switches and highlights now carry the warm colors of the app icon
• Opening a reminder grows out of its photo
• Deleting and archiving animate instead of jumping
• "Restore purchases" now reports the result in a dialog, and says what to check when no purchase was found

Everything else is where it was. No new permissions, nothing to set up.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-29

No release notes.
