We would all like to relive our magical moments forever and for this we take pictures: To capture a fraction of our time that would otherwise be lost forever. However, we would like our magical moments to remain private (except for the ones we expressly want to share, of course!) but the pictures we take are sent immediately "to the cloud", fed to Mr. Big Data! With AnoniCamera you can immortalize your magical moments, with the security that they will remain private and safe, as all shots will be stored on AnoniCloud and removed from the device! Your pictures will thus remain safe on the AnoniCloud servers and away from the intrusiveness of Mr. Big Data. To encourage your creativity we have included various filters (with the possibility of seeing the photograph in real time on the display of your device), the possibility of saving the photograph in RAW (if you like to post-produce) and shoot bracketing to build HDRs. AnoniCamera is the companion app for AnoniCloud, the file manager that help you to manage files stored on AnoniCloud server, the only cloud service 100% conceived, designed, operated and hosted in Switzerland.
