The last photos: handling the heaviest images with care

Somewhere in most archives is a last photo of someone — known at the time or discovered later — and it carries weight no interface was designed for.

The idea

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

Whether those photos belong in your rotation is entirely yours to decide, and either answer is right. If yes: at your frequency, from your selection, with the pause switch always present. If not yet: the archive holds them safely until.

In practice

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.

Nothing here is uploaded, analyzed, or algorithmically chosen. The heaviest photos deserve the most control, and control is this app's entire architecture.

Setting it up

Ten minutes, once: install Bubbles In Time ($2.99, one-time), pull the relevant photos from your gallery into the rotation, set a frequency that feels right, and let the floating layer do the rest. Everything stays on your device — no account, no uploads, no ads between the memories — and the pause switch is always one tap away.
