The battery story: why a floating layer stays light

Overlay sounds heavy; in practice, network sync is what drains phones, and BIT has none.

This is what it looks like on your phone.Your memories drift past while you use it. Tap one.

How it works

Bubbles In Time works offline. There is no server, no account and no sign-up — your photos never leave your phone.

The layer wakes at your chosen interval, renders one lightweight bubble, and sleeps. No background uploading, no location, no sync engine — the costly subsystems simply aren't present.

Getting the most from it

Android's own interval floor caps wake frequency; the result is a memory layer that doesn't register in battery stats the way any cloud-connected app does.

The 2026 stance: Bubbles In Time costs $2.99 once. No subscription. No ads. No account. Your photos never leave your phone. In a year when everything became a monthly fee, that sentence is the whole pitch.

$2.99 — once

No subscription · no ads · no account · nothing leaves your phone
