Features & Capabilities

Now in 7 new languages with a smarter camera startup. Ephemeral Trace remembers your last camera, flash, and grid preferences — or set your own defaults.

Capture without a trace.

Ephemeral Trace is a privacy-first camera for iOS. Take a photo or record a video, set a timer, and it automatically disappears when time runs out. No cloud. No servers. No account required.

— AUTO-DELETION — Choose an expiry timer before you shoot: 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, or keep it forever. Pro users can create custom timer presets. Media deletes itself in real time, in the background, and on every app launch. Deletion is permanent and irreversible — by design.

— CRYPTOGRAPHIC DELETION — Every file is encrypted with a unique 256-bit key via the iOS Secure Enclave. When a file expires, the key is destroyed — making the data forensically unrecoverable. NIST SP 800-88 compliant.

— FOLDER ORGANIZATION — Sort captures into folders with custom cover images. Assign a default folder and shoot directly into it. Color-coded urgency badges in the gallery indicate how much time each item has remaining.

— FULLY ON-DEVICE — No accounts. No analytics. No crash reporting. No advertising identifiers. No third-party SDKs. Photo Library access is Add Only — the app cannot read your existing photos. Your media never leaves your iPhone.

— PRO — A one-time upgrade unlocks unlimited folders, biometric gallery lock (Face ID, Touch ID, Optic ID), custom timer presets, and all other and future Pro features. No subscription. Ever.

Free tier includes unlimited photo and video capture, all built-in timers, up to 2 folders, and export to your Photos library.

Your privacy is not a feature. It is the foundation.
