About
Tinycam is a camera for the everyday moments you skip because your phone is nearly full.
Every photo is compressed the moment you take it, to about 58 KB instead of a few megabytes. Thirty to forty Tinycam photos fit in the space of one ordinary iPhone photo, with no visible quality loss on your screen. There is no quality setting to get wrong. It is fixed, and it is invisible.
TAP FOR A PHOTO. HOLD FOR A VIDEO.
One shutter and no modes. The app opens straight to the viewfinder, so the moment is still there when you are ready for it.
EVERY DAY, ALREADY SORTED
Pull up from the viewfinder and every memory is there, filed by day and month like prints in folders, with the place you were written in the margin. Only your moments: no screenshots, no receipts, no scans. Pinch to step back from one big print to a whole year on one screen, and search by place or by date.
A PHOTO DIARY THAT KEEPS ITSELF
Shoot the small things: breakfast, the walk home, the kids at the park. A year later the ordinary Tuesday is the one you go back to. Open any memory to relive it like a print, with the rest of the month in a strip beneath it.
FAVORITES, PRIVATE AND RECENTLY DELETED
Heart the prints you love. Move the ones that are only for you to Private, locked with Face ID. Deleted memories wait in Recently Deleted for 30 days, in case you change your mind.
NO CLOUD. NO LOGIN. JUST YOURS.
No account, no sign in, no uploads, no feed, no ads and no analytics. Photos and videos stay in Tinycam's own storage on your phone, apart from your camera roll, and they are yours to save, share or delete whenever you want. Location is optional and only asked for after your first shot.
