About Fadio: Temporary Camera
Fadio is a temporary camera for the photos you need only for a while: where you parked, a receipt, a Wi-Fi password, a whiteboard after a meeting, the price tag you want to compare. Pick how long each photo lives, from 1 hour to 1 month. When the time is up, it's gone. Your gallery stays clean.
No ads. No account. No internet access.
HOW IT WORKS
• Open the camera, pick 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week or 1 month, and take the photo.
• Your photos wait in Fadio, grouped by when they expire: Expiring today, This week, Later.
• Every photo shows how long it has left. As the time runs out, it slowly fades.
• When it expires, it moves to the Bin. You have 48 hours to change your mind, then it's deleted for good.
KEEP WHAT MATTERS
• Changed your mind? Tap the countdown and choose when it fades: 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week or 1 month from now.
• Want to keep it forever? Save it to your gallery with one tap.
• Add a short note to any photo: "Level 2, B14", "Bring the form".
• Share a photo, or select several at once to keep, change expiry, share or delete them.
FIND YOUR CAR AGAIN
• Turn on Save location, and each photo remembers where you took it.
• See the street address and how far away it is, then open it in Maps.
• Off by default. The location stays in Fadio and is never added to photos you keep or share.
ADD FROM ANY APP
• Share a screenshot or an image from a chat to Fadio, and it fades like the rest.
• Fadio keeps its own copy, so the original stays where it was.
FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN
• Latest photo widget: your newest or pinned photo, with its countdown.
• Next to fade widget: the three photos that disappear soonest.
• Quick capture widget: one tap straight into the camera, with its own expiry.
• A Quick Settings tile and app shortcuts open the camera from anywhere.
SMART TEXT (FADIO PLUS)
• Copy text from signs, receipts and screens, open links, call numbers and join Wi-Fi from QR codes, right on the photo.
• It reads on your phone and never goes online: no upload, no cloud, nothing leaves Fadio.
• Try it free on 3 photos. Then one purchase unlocks it for good, no subscription.
• Reads text in the Latin alphabet. QR codes work in any language.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Photos are stored inside the app, not in your gallery.
• They're left out of cloud backups and device transfers.
• Fadio has no internet permission: your photos are never uploaded, and nothing is tracked.
• Optional app lock with your fingerprint, face or screen lock. While it's on, the widgets hide your photos.
THOUGHTFUL DETAILS
• One quiet notification a day when photos are about to expire, only if you want it.
• Light and dark theme. Works on phones and tablets.
• Uninstalling Fadio deletes all its photos, so save anything you want to keep first.
Fadio is free. Fadio Plus is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks Smart text; everything else is included for everyone.
