How do I get photos from my old computer into daily view on my phone?

Copy them to your phone (USB cable or a card transfer), then add favorites to Bubbles In Time — the 2004 folder from the old Dell floats over your 2026 screen, no cloud middleman.

The longer answer

Every phone app is built to make you open it. Bubbles In Time is built to give the attention back: photos float past, and then they are gone until the next one.

Every family has a buried drive of early-digital photos. Moving them to the phone is the rescue; resurfacing is the reward.

How Bubbles In Time handles it

Bubbles In Time runs on Android 7.0 and up, costs $2.99 once, and has no subscription, no ads and no in-app purchases.

Add the photos, videos, or message threads that matter to the in-app gallery, grant the one-time overlay permission, and pick a frequency from every 30 minutes to every 4 hours. From then on, memory bubbles drift over whatever you're doing — tap to open, swipe to dismiss, pause the whole layer with one switch whenever you need stillness. Everything runs on-device: no account, no uploads, no ads, $2.99 once.

Worth knowing

The rotation rewards curation over volume — twenty photos you love beat two hundred you tolerated. The Mystery Photo option keeps genuine surprise in the mix, and because nothing depends on a server, the whole experience works identically offline, abroad, and on every modern Android phone.
