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 ā‘  Pick a photo ā‘” Record up to 60 seconds of voice or sound ā‘¢ Create a video with one tap ā‘£ 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 — 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 — PHOTO EDITING Tap "Edit Photo" to arrange your photos with 4 editing tabs. • Color filters — 8 styles including sepia and monochrome • Overlays — 16 effects with light and frames • Stickers — 60+ emoji stickers • Text — 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: • Baby — growth milestones • Travel — the air of a place • Pet — keep the voice, too • Anniversary — feelings beyond words • Daily — 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 • GPS data stripped automatically from photos • All data stored on your device • No automatic cloud upload PRICING • Free to download — save up to 10 memories at no cost • 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/

Your camera already wrote it down. Every photograph you have taken carries a record of the body and lens that made it. AperFolio reads that record — on your device, from your own library — and turns it into the story of how you actually shoot. WHAT IT TELLS YOU • Which lens you truly reach for, and what share of your work came through it • The bodies and lenses in your bag, ranked by frames rather than by what you paid for them • The focal lengths and apertures you keep returning to • What has been sitting in the bag unused, and for how long THE EXHIBITION Your photographs set as a justified wall, every frame keeping its own proportions. Filter by camera, by lens, by year, by favourites, or by the ones you have written something about. THE ATLAS A map of where the work was made, with the path between places drawn in the order the shutter fired. Tap a mark to open everything you made there, newest first. INSIGHTS One honest statement about your work, and then the measurements behind it. Share of frames by lens, by body, by brand. The hours you shoot. The focal lengths you live at. What has gone quiet. YOUR YEAR IN FRAMES A year of your photography as a story you can read through and share. TITLES AND STORIES The EXIF is what the camera recorded. A title and a story are what you remember. Write them onto any frame, and find them again by them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account and no sign-in. Your photographs are never uploaded, copied, or transmitted — AperFolio reads their metadata and stores only a reference to the original, which stays in your photo library. There is no analytics, no tracking, no advertising and no third-party SDK. AperFolio never asks for your location; the only coordinates it knows are the ones your own camera wrote into a photograph. TRY IT FIRST A sample collection is free to browse, so you can see what AperFolio shows before deciding whether to pay for it. Importing, editing, series, sharing and personalisation come with a subscription. SUBSCRIPTION Reading your own library, and every feature beyond browsing the sample, requires a subscription: • Monthly • Yearly • Lifetime, a single purchase that does not renew Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your App Store account settings. Nothing is deleted if a subscription ends. Your collection is hidden, not destroyed, and renewing brings all of it back.
