FadeShot

Some photos aren't meant to last forever.

Serial numbers. Screen data. Whiteboard notes. Parking spot B3. The router password you'll need exactly once. Every day you take a handful of photos you'll never look at again — and they pile up in your Camera Roll forever anyway.

FadeShot is a camera for photos that have an expiration date.

CAPTURE ANYTHING. IT DELETES ITSELF.

Every photo you take gets a countdown — 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, or 7 days. When the time's up, it's gone automatically. No cleanup, no digging through your Camera Roll months later wondering why you have forty photos of parking signs. FadeShot never touches your Camera Roll in the first place.

POINT. SNAP. TEXT ON YOUR CLIPBOARD.

Set your iPhone's Action Button to FadeShot and it becomes the fastest way to grab text from anything in the physical world. Point at a serial number, a screen, a label, a receipt. Press. FadeShot reads the text with on-device recognition and puts it straight on your clipboard — the photo saves itself in the background on its own timer. You never had to open the app.

READ ANYTHING, INSTANTLY.

Every photo is scanned automatically for readable text. Serial numbers, model numbers, WiFi passwords, reference codes — tap Copy and it's on your clipboard. No scanning app, no cloud processing, no account. It happens entirely on your phone.

ON YOUR WRIST, TOO.

The FadeShot Watch companion sends extracted text straight to your Apple Watch, so you can glance at a serial number or a code without pulling your phone back out. Hands full, phone across the room — doesn't matter.

SHARE WHEN YOU NEED TO, FORGET WHEN YOU DON'T.

AirDrop it, text it, email it — FadeShot hands off to the standard iOS share sheet and gets out of the way. You can even share photos into FadeShot from any other app, and they'll land in your gallery already counting down.

CHANGED YOUR MIND? YOU'RE STILL IN CONTROL.

Long-press any photo to add 24 hours, or clear it early. Nothing is locked in the moment you take the photo.
