Ayer: Offline Photo App for Viewing Photos by Date Across All Years
By
Chapiware
Hard to chew. Probably not worth the jaw work.
Summary
Ayer is a privacy-focused photo app that allows users to select any calendar date and view all photos and videos taken on that exact day across all past years. The app was created by a developer who wanted to compare photos of his two sons born exactly two years and one day apart. Unlike most photo apps that algorithmically decide what memories to show, Ayer gives users full control over what they view, and operates 100% offline with no cloud storage, login requirements, or tracking.
