Anniversary photos: the marriage, in rotation

Anniversaries get one album-open a year if the album is lucky — the other 364 days, the wedding sleeps.

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

The idea

This is what Bubbles In Time was built for: not a feed you scroll and not a notification you open, but your own memories drifting past while you go about your day.

Mix eras in one rotation: wedding day, the apartment years, last summer. The marriage's whole arc, drifting through ordinary weeks.

In practice

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.

The out-of-season effect is strongest here — the wedding photo on a random Tuesday says more than it does on the anniversary itself.

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

Do bubbles interrupt what I'm doing?

No — bubbles float without stealing focus. Tap to open a memory, dismiss to continue.

Does it work offline?

Completely — there's no server, so bubbles float with or without a connection.
