About

SonderFrame

Features
Read full description

SonderFrame is a camera for photos that remember their day. Take one photo and keep the place, weather, local time, and a real headline with it. Save it to Camera Roll, send this frame, or open it again in Archive. Use it for trips, anniversaries, moving days, concerts, rainy walks, and ordinary nights that will mean more later. Your photo stays at the center; the day details are printed quietly around it. Free includes: - Save framed photos to Camera Roll with Quiet Print - Send this frame from your device's send options - Reopen saved frames on this device SonderFrame Archive includes Time Depth: saved-frame place, weather, and headlines stay readable, Time Capsule keeps one photo hidden until its open day and then opens it from a notification or Archive, and Keepsake Shelf keeps saved frames available in Archive. Daily Print, Instant Film, Vintage Press, Starfinder, and Boarding Pass turn the same photo into five kept objects: a full-bleed daily print, the instant film you tucked into your wallet, a clipping you saved, a page from a night atlas, or the ticket you held onto after the trip. Sky / Nature / Culture let you choose the printed line; it stays in saved images and Archive. SonderFrame is built for private memory, not public feeds. Save first, send to one person when you want, and return to the day later. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.sonderframe.com/terms
