A camera for ordinary days. Photos delete themselves after seven days. Where you parked at the mall. The inside of your fridge before shopping. A price tag you wanted to remember. Useful right then, never looked at again. Photos taken with ABUKU CAMERA stay only inside the app and disappear after seven days. Before they go, save the ones you don't want to lose to your device. Shoot plenty. Keep a few. Leave your iPhone's storage for the photos worth keeping. 【What you can do】 ・A gallery that empties itself in seven days — sorted by date ・Save only what you want to keep — it moves into the Photos app ・Film modes — MONO / NORMAL / FILM ・Burst — 3 / 5 / 10 / hold the button (HOLD) ・Exposure (EV) and zoom ・Seven shutter sounds to choose from ・Send straight from the share sheet 【The kind of photo this is for】 ・Where you parked at the mall ・What's already in the fridge ・A price tag worth checking later ・Opening hours on a shop door ・Anything you shot meaning to delete it 【Why seven days】 Whether you'll look at a photo again is usually settled within days. If nothing happens in seven, you didn't need it. Instead of choosing what to delete, you choose what to keep. The same work, turned around. 【Privacy】 Your photos and settings are never sent outside your device. Google Mobile Ads SDK is used to show ads, and In-App Purchase is used for the ad-free upgrade. Keep less. Remember more.

Get separate files ready for vertical posts and widescreen sharing, with no need to record the moment again. TWO CAMERAS. ONE STORY. Record with the front and rear cameras together in a single video. Choose Picture in Picture, Split Screen, or Top and Bottom, then select portrait or landscape output. Capture what you see alongside your reaction, commentary, or demonstration. MAKE THE FRAME YOURS Move and resize the floating camera, choose a square or portrait shape, and swap which camera takes the main view. Remove the front-camera background to place yourself over the scene, with processing handled directly on your device. PREVIEW. SAVE. SHARE. Browse your recordings in the gallery, play them back, and save your favorites to Photos. Share either format individually or both videos together. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your recordings stay on your device until you choose to save or share them. No account required. Available in English and Vietnamese.
