Photium turns the thousands of photos you never look at again into something you'll love coming back to. Most of your library is forgotten the moment it's taken. Photium quietly studies your photos on your device and brings the best moments back as beautiful, curated memory channels β€” the people you love, your trips, the seasons, those busy days, and the ones you'd completely forgotten. Then you just lean back and watch. Swipe through memories like Reels: photos breathe, Live Photos come alive, and there are no decisions to make β€” only the flow. WHAT MAKES PHOTIUM DIFFERENT β€’ Curated memory channels β€” forgotten ones, favorites, trips, people and seasons, rebuilt every time you open the app β€’ A Reels-style feed β€” swipe up through your memories, one story at a time β€’ Concepts β€” Photium understands what's in your photos (nature, happy, family, concert, travel…) so you can browse any theme as its own feed β€’ People β€” faces are grouped on your device; you just give them names β€’ Explore β€” your trips quietly become a map you can travel back through, with playful levels and badges β€’ Search β€” find any moment by person, place, year, season or concept β€’ Home screen widget β€” a daily memory, right where you'll see it PRIVACY, FOR REAL Everything happens on your device. No account. No tracking. No ads. No servers receive your photos, faces or locations β€” because there are no servers. Your memories never leave your phone. (Photium only ever asks Apple for a place name using coordinates, and only if you turn that on.) Photium is free. We build it for the love of it β€” and to keep making thoughtful, private little apps.

Is your photo library filling up? GramCamera shoots the same way your stock camera does, but saves smaller files. It reduces file size without a visible drop in quality, so the same storage holds far more. β–  You choose how much to save Pick one of four levels: Saver, Standard, Max or Original. Saver cuts size sharply against the stock camera, Standard matches the stock camera's quality and size, Max leaves extra headroom for editing and archiving, and Original means this app does not shrink the file at all. Levels apply to photos and video separately, and Fine Tuning lets you set the target size for each resolution yourself. β–  Saved straight to the Photos app There is no separate library. Your photos and videos go into the built-in Photos app exactly as usual, and every other app can use them as always. β–  It shows you what you saved Open a capture in the in-app album and you can see how much smaller it is compared with the stock camera. β–  A real camera, not a toy Β· Photo Β· Video Β· Slow motion Β· Time-lapse Β· 4K 60 fps, HDR video, Spatial Audio recording Β· Ultra wide Β· Wide Β· Telephoto switching and macro Β· White balance lock, exposure compensation, grid, timer Β· Simultaneous front and back capture Β· iPad support β–  Free GramCamera is free to use. In return, a small ad appears at the bottom of the screen. It steps aside for a moment when you press the shutter, so it never gets in the way of a shot. Your captures stay on your device and in your photo library. GramCamera does not collect them or send them anywhere.
