Framer is built to keep your visual progress private and local. The app helps you capture repeated photos, organize them into projects, receive optional reminders, and create timelapse videos from your frames.
Framer stores your projects, reminder preferences, capture preferences, and frame metadata on your device. Captured photos are saved locally inside the app. If you choose to enable Photos sync, Framer can also add your frames and exported timelapse videos to a Framer album in your Photos library.
Framer does not create an account, does not run ads, does not use analytics SDKs, and does not sell your data.
Framer asks for camera access so you can capture frames for your projects.
Framer asks for Photos access only when you choose to sync frames or exported timelapses to your Photos library. If you grant limited Photos access, Framer continues to work with local app storage and can save newly created items that iOS allows. If you deny Photos access, your frames and timelapse videos remain available in the app and can still be shared through the system share sheet.
Framer can send local reminder notifications if you enable them. These reminders are scheduled on your device and are used only to help you remember to capture the next frame.
When you share a timelapse video, sharing is handled by iOS. Framer does not receive information about where you share it.
You can delete individual frames or entire projects in the app. Deleting a project removes its local frames and reminder schedule. If Framer previously saved synced items to your Photos library and still has permission, it will also try to remove those synced Photos assets.
You can revoke Camera, Photos, or Notifications access at any time in the iOS Settings app.
