One photo. Then your brain lets it go. Did you lock the door? Leave the stove on? Snap a photo, glance once, and the second-guessing stops. CheckCam is the camera for the small things you will worry about later. Every capture lives in its own gallery, never in your Photos library, and deletes itself when you no longer need it. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR The door. The stove. The iron you unplugged. Where you parked on level B27. The serial number behind the router. The price tag before you decide. Anything you need for an hour, a day or a week, and never again. WHAT REVIEWERS SAY "When you rent an apartment and you're an alarmist, it saves a lot of my nerve cells and time." "It cleaned my gallery from many unnecessary photos of irons and other objects." HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap to photograph. Press and hold to record video. 2. Glance at it whenever the doubt comes back. 3. Forget about it. CheckCam deletes it on schedule. WHAT MAKES CHECKCAM DIFFERENT → A gallery of its own Captures live inside CheckCam. Nothing reaches your Photos library and nothing syncs to your camera roll. → Auto-delete, on your terms Photos and videos disappear after 1, 7 or 30 days. You choose the lifespan. → Pin what matters Mark anything to keep it safe from auto-delete, for as long as you want. → Photo and video in one gesture Tap for a photo. Press and hold for video, with or without sound. → Grouped by session Captures bundle into 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour or 1-day sessions, so you can see what belongs together. → A nudge before you leave Set a reminder to capture something before you walk out the door. → Yours alone No account, no cloud. Everything stays on the device. BUILT FOR • People who check the door twice • Anyone who gets to work still thinking about the stove • Professionals taking quick visual notes on site • Minimalists who want only real photos in their Photos library • Older adults who rely on visual confirmation CHECKCAM PLUS Unlimited captures and longer lifespans. 1.99 USD per month, 9.99 USD per year, or 14.99 USD once. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings, Apple Account, Subscriptions. Snap it, check it, forget it.
