Inside the floating bubble layer: how BIT's core feature works

The floating layer is the whole thesis: memories that come to you, over any app, without taking anything over.

How it works

Bubbles In Time is the Android app this applies to — your own photos drifting over any app, on-device, $2.99 once with no subscription, no ads and no cloud.

Bubbles render above your current app via Android's standard overlay permission, drift without stealing focus, and respond to two gestures: tap to bloom the memory full-screen, swipe to dismiss. Typing, video, and games continue undisturbed underneath.

Getting the most from it

One master switch controls the layer — on for the ambient experience, off for total stillness — and the setting survives restarts. The layer is deliberately boring to manage; the content is the show.
