Set a timer, capture a photo or video, and it automatically disappears when time runs out. No cloud, no servers, no trace.
Discover FeaturesEvery feature is designed around one principle: your media, your control, zero permanence.
Set expiry timers from seconds to months — or keep media forever. Pro users can create custom timer durations to fit any workflow.
Files are encrypted with per-file 256-bit keys via iOS Secure Enclave. On expiry, the key is destroyed — data becomes unrecoverable. NIST SP 800-88 compliant.
HEIC photos and MOV video capture with a native SwiftUI interface. HDR support, configurable frame rate, and front/rear camera switching.
Organize captures into folders with custom cover images. Shoot directly into a folder, batch-move items, and manage media your way.
Protect your gallery with Face ID, Touch ID, or Optic ID. Only you can access your ephemeral captures.
No servers, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone. Your media never leaves your device.
From capture to complete erasure — designed to be intuitive and irreversible.
Pick an expiry duration — from seconds to months, or create custom presets.
Take a photo or record a video. Optionally shoot directly into a folder.
Browse your gallery with color-coded urgency badges showing time remaining.
When the timer runs out, the encryption key is destroyed. Gone for good.
Core ephemeral functionality is free. A one-time Pro upgrade unlocks power features — no subscriptions, ever.
Pricing details will be announced closer to launch. Stay tuned.
