Is there an app that shows me a random photo during the day?

Yes — Bubbles In Time floats a random memory from your chosen set onto your screen at intervals you pick, from every 30 minutes to every 4 hours, with a Mystery Photo option for genuine surprise.

The longer answer

Bubbles In Time draws from your own gallery — family, friends, pets, places — and shows them as translucent bubbles over any app, then lets them go.

Randomness is the feature, not a compromise: the photo you didn't expect lands harder than the one you went looking for.

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.
