A calmer way to look back.
Timehop and Photura both bring past memories into the present. Timehop builds a broader nostalgia feed from connected photo and social services. Photura takes a narrower approach: a quiet daily view of the photos and videos already available in Apple Photos.
There are no streaks to maintain, social accounts to connect, or extra content between you and the moments you captured.
Private by design.
Photura works without a Photura account and does not upload your photo library to its own servers. Apple’s App Store privacy label states that Photura does not collect data.
The app is also ad-free. Personal photos stay at the center of the experience instead of appearing alongside sponsored content.
Made for the library you already have.
Photura is designed specifically for iPhone and reads from Apple Photos. Each day, it gathers photos and videos captured on that calendar date across previous years.
If you want memories gathered from several social and cloud services, Timehop may be the broader fit. If you want a focused, private way to rediscover your iPhone library, Photura is built for that.
