Fotowecker: Photo Reminder

Photos that come back to you

Free · In‑App Purchases

Warranty receipt, meter reading, the first day of school: Fotowecker keeps photos for later and speaks up on the day, with a preview. No account, no server, no ads. Some photos exist only so you can find them again later: the warranty receipt, the meter reading, the label of a wine you liked. Others you simply want to see again one day – your child on the first day of school, the garden a year ago. Fotowecker keeps both for you and speaks up exactly when the day comes. HOW IT WORKS • Pick photos, or share them to Fotowecker from another app • Set a day and a time – tomorrow, in a year or in ten • That's it. On that day the notification arrives, with a preview WHAT FOTOWECKER DOES • Widget on the home and lock screen: the next reminder with a countdown • Siri and Shortcuts: "Next reminders in Fotowecker" • Yearly repetition for anniversaries and birthdays • Expand the notification to see every photo of that day as a gallery • Surprise mode: the preview stays blurred until the day, and the notification gives nothing away – not even on the lock screen • A camera inside the app, at full resolution. Those photos stay in Fotowecker • Move reminders, archive them, and see them on all your devices through iCloud • For iPhone and iPad, in German and English, with VoiceOver and large text YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS Fotowecker has no server of its own, no user account and no sign-up. There is no advertising, no tracking and no analytics. Your photos and reminders live on your device and – if you use iCloud – in your private iCloud database, which only you can access. The app deliberately asks for no read access to your photo library: it only ever sees the images you pick yourself. FREE AND PRO Three open reminders are free forever. If you need more, Fotowecker Pro unlocks them with a single purchase – no subscription, no follow-up costs. iCloud backup is always included, purchase or not. PLEASE NOTE Fotowecker stores its own copy of your photos and is not a substitute for a backup. Please keep the originals in your library.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Fotowecker now looks the way it works: calm, and about your photos. NEW IN 1.1 • A reminder that is due fills a large photo card, so you see the picture before you read the date • The countdown sits in its own badge and is easier to find at a glance • Buttons, switches and highlights now carry the warm colors of the app icon • Opening a reminder grows out of its photo • Deleting and archiving animate instead of jumping • "Restore purchases" now reports the result in a dialog, and says what to check when no purchase was found Everything else is where it was. No new permissions, nothing to set up.
