A Private Ritual

One honest photo a day.

Capture what matters — both sides of it. Front and rear camera, once a day. No feeds. No pressure. Just your life, becoming a time capsule.

The Faciem capture screen on an iPhone: a warm sunlit room from the rear camera with a small front-camera selfie tucked into the corner.

Always yours.

What We Believe

Built on three quiet convictions.

Your life is not content.

Your data stays on your device. Nothing leaves it unless you choose to.

Ritual over volume.

One intentional capture a day is more meaningful than a thousand unthinking ones.

Time is the reward.

The value isn’t in the moment — it’s in looking back. Days become perspective.

Front and rear.
At once.

One tap fires both cameras simultaneously. You get the self and the scene — the rare truthful pairing that shows what your day actually felt like, not just what you pointed at.

  • One tap, instant capture — no countdown, no retakes
  • Each pair saves together automatically
  • Haptic confirmation the moment your capture lands
Two photos paired together — a sunlit room and the person who captured it — like a single dual-camera frame.

One capture. Then put it down.

Faciem is built around a single daily moment. No endless scroll of near-duplicates. No camera-roll bloat. The constraint is the gift — it makes the one capture mean something.

A single phone resting face-down on a warm surface — the day’s one capture, set aside.

A year, visible at a glance.

Faciem’s timeline is quiet and chronological. Scroll through the months to see your face, your rooms, your outfits settle into something — a life being lived rather than performed.

  • Chronological vertical stream
  • Tap a moment to zoom in
  • Nothing hidden, nothing algorithmic
A contact-sheet grid of a full year of daily captures — faces, rooms and seasons laid out together.

Seven days. One quiet scoreboard.

A weekly summary shows your streak, this week, and all-time — with equal honesty. There’s no punishment for missed days — just a reminder that showing up is its own reward.

  • Streak, this week, and all-time
  • One line of encouragement
  • No gamified pressure
A loose stack of a week’s polaroid-style captures — coffee, a face, a room, morning light.

Watch the year you actually lived.

Faciem Pro weaves your daily captures into a private film you can generate anytime — the longer you’ve shown up, the more there is to watch. Share it, keep it, show it to whoever earned the invitation. Or watch it alone. It’s yours.

The app disappears — and the year remains.

FAQ

Questions people quietly ask.

Still curious? Email us — real answers, not canned copy.

Is Faciem really free to use?
Capture and review are free forever. Pro unlocks the timelapse — $4.99 one-time during the launch window (Early Pro), $9.99 after. No subscription, no paywalls around capture.
Where do my captures live?
On your device, in SwiftData. By default, no server is involved — so if you delete the app, your captures go with it. Export before you delete.
Can I miss a day?
Yes. Faciem records skips without judgment. Missing a day is part of the year — and still worth showing up the day after.
Will there ever be cloud sync?
Cloud sync isn't in v1 — your captures live locally by default. If we ship optional cloud sync later, it'll be a separate paid tier, off by default, opt-in only, with a permanent 50% discount for pre-cloud Pro buyers (Early Pro and standard).
When can I make a timelapse?
Anytime, once you're Pro. The timelapse weaves your daily captures into a private film — three speeds, native share — and it gets richer the longer you show up. Free users keep their timeline, always.
Can I share my captures?
Individual moments: yes, share anywhere. The timelapse: yes, once Pro is unlocked. Faciem never auto-shares anything.
Can I bring my BeReal photos?
Yes, today, and it's free. Settings → Data → Import from BeReal reads your BeReal GDPR export (a .zip) and adds those days to your timeline, deduplicated, entirely on-device. To get the export: in BeReal, go to Profile → Settings → Help → Contact us and request a copy of your data. The zip usually arrives within a couple of hours, sometimes up to two days.
