Retirement photos: the send-off and the whole career behind it

The retirement party gets photographed; the forty years it celebrates live scattered across drives and drawers.

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

The idea

Bubbles In Time uses Android's display-over-other-apps permission (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) to float your photos above whatever you're doing, then get out of the way.

A career rotation — first ID badge to last-day cake — floating through retirement's mornings turns the archive into a companion.

In practice

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.

Colleagues' send-off photos plus the decades: one rotation, touring itself, no project required.

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.

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
