Read full description

Echo Memory Keeper for Photos is an audio diary app that lets you record and keep your voice with photos. You can also edit photos, add voice effects, turn them into videos, and share them on social media. SHOOT, RECORD, SHARE โ‘  Pick a photo โ‘ก Record up to 60 seconds of voice or sound โ‘ข Create a video with one tap โ‘ฃ Share anywhere Formats: 9:16 (Story/Reels), 1:1 (Feed). Send someone important a memory with its sound. WHY SOUND? Photos keep what you saw. But often, sound is what brings a memory back. A baby's first laugh. Waves you heard while traveling. The voice that said, "I love you." Tap a photo, and the sound of that day returns. Lighter than video, easy to revisit every day. YOUR VOICE TRANSFORMS TOO โ€” 6 VOICE EFFECTS Apply 6 voice effects to your recordings. High, low, chipmunk, deep, robot, and echo. Turn a baby's voice into chipmunk for fun, or add echo to the sounds of a trip. MAKE MEMORIES MORE BEAUTIFUL โ€” PHOTO EDITING Tap "Edit Photo" to arrange your photos with 4 editing tabs. โ€ข Color filters โ€” 8 styles including sepia and monochrome โ€ข Overlays โ€” 16 effects with light and frames โ€ข Stickers โ€” 60+ emoji stickers โ€ข Text โ€” place messages and dates freely 5 SCENES, YOUR WAY Organize memories by scene. Change each scene's icon and name freely. Rename "Baby" to "Grandkids" or "Travel" to "Camping." When the categories fit your life, sorting photos feels more like your own. Start with these five scenes: โ€ข Baby โ€” growth milestones โ€ข Travel โ€” the air of a place โ€ข Pet โ€” keep the voice, too โ€ข Anniversary โ€” feelings beyond words โ€ข Daily โ€” the small moments that matter YOUR PERSONAL SOUND ENCYCLOPEDIA Go beyond scenes. The sound of your car's engine, a cat's meow, waves at a favorite place. Collect photos and sounds, and build a sound encyclopedia that belongs only to you. VIDEOS, RIGHT WITH YOUR MEMORIES Videos stay in Photos. Echo does not copy them; it saves a reference and thumbnail on your device. EVERY DAY BUILDS UP The more you record, the more your calendar fills. Yesterday. This day one year ago. Revisit memories anytime with the sounds attached to your photos. Each day becomes part of your own timeline. BEFORE YOU SHARE, ADD A LITTLE FINISH Before exporting a video (vertical 9:16 or square 1:1), you can shape the look freely. Add gentle motion to a photo. Change the mood with color filters. Layer light or frame overlays. Adjust the display position so the part you want to show stays centered. In Edit Photo, you can also add stickers and text. With just a little care, the video feels more like your own. RECORD ON THE SPOT FROM APPLE WATCH For moments when there is no time to open the camera, use Apple Watch. Record a voice or sound right from your wrist. The audio memo arrives on your iPhone. Later, choose a photo and attach it at your own pace. Because you can save the sound first, important moments are less likely to slip away. A VOICE TO LEAVE BEHIND If you would like to preserve your voice while you can, Echo can be a meaningful way to do so. Add the story from that time to photos from your younger days. Leave your family a message in your voice, not just in text. When they open the album later, they can hear that voice again. Your records are stored on your device. No account is required, and nothing needs to be uploaded to an external server. PRIVACY FIRST โ€ข GPS data stripped automatically from photos โ€ข All data stored on your device โ€ข No automatic cloud upload PRICING โ€ข Free to download โ€” save up to 10 memories at no cost โ€ข A one-time premium unlock removes the save limit and adds the Journal / Gallery themes (no extra charges) About purchases: Unlock is a one-time purchase (non-renewing). It is tied to your Apple ID and works on all your devices. Privacy Policy: https://strataix.net/echo/#privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

36 Frames Camera

Features
Read full description

One roll. Thirty-six frames. No preview, no retakes, and no way to see a single photo until the roll comes back from the lab. 36 Frames is a film camera for your iPhone. You load a roll, and from the first frame to the thirty-sixth there is nothing to look at but the counter. You can't check the shot. You can't delete the bad ones. You shoot, you trust it, and you move on. It's how photography felt before there was a screen on the back of the camera. When the roll is full, or whenever you decide you're done with it, you send it to the lab. Standard developing takes two to five days. Express comes back in about an hour. The look is identical either way; the only thing you ever trade is time. Then one day the roll is ready, the contact sheet arrives, and you finally see what you spent your week shooting. Keep the good ones. That's the whole app. WHAT YOU GET One roll, thirty-six frames. The counter is the only feedback there is. No preview, no retakes, no recovery. Nothing you shoot can be viewed until the roll is developed. Not previewed, not reviewed, not undeleted. Two ways to wait. Standard developing in two to five working days, never coming back on a weekend. Express in about an hour. Both are free, and neither one looks better than the other. Two films. Colour 400 and Mono 400, each with its own grain, colour rendering and tone. The look is applied when the roll is developed, not when you shoot, so you never get to preview it either. A camera worth holding. Every lens on your iPhone, a viewfinder that shows exactly what gets captured, optional manual focus with focus peaking, a rule-of-thirds grid and a horizon level. One tap is the shutter. Short rolls are fine. Send any time after the first frame. The lab develops only the frames you actually shot. Widgets, Lock Screen and Siri. See how far into the roll you are and when the next one is ready, jump straight to the shutter from Control Center or the Action Button, and ask Siri about a roll. Keepers go to Photos. Developed frames save at full resolution with the real capture details: date, place, lens, exposure. They sort into your library where they belong. In a hurry? There's a Rush option that develops a roll on the spot, free and unlimited. The app will gently point out that rushing every roll rather defeats the point. WHERE YOUR PHOTOS GO Nowhere. "Sending the roll to the lab" is this app's language for a wait that runs entirely on your own phone. Undeveloped frames live in the app's private storage, developing happens on the device, and nothing is ever uploaded. There's no account to make, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads and no tracking. It works in airplane mode. The wait is real, though. It isn't a progress bar you can skip by relaunching. WHAT IT COSTS Free to download, and your first two rolls are free, one on each film, so you get a proper feel for it. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited rolls, forever. No subscription, nothing metered, and nothing that expires. Buy it once and the app keeps working.
