MemoCam · Free for Android

Simple camera. Smart memory.

MemoCam works like a normal camera. Open it, press the button, take a photo. The difference: every photo is saved with the place, the weather, the time and the direction you were facing. Years later, you will still know where you were.

No sign-in No cloud No ads

What it adds

A simple camera with smart helpers inside

Big shutter button. Front and rear camera. Zoom. Flash. Grid lines. Video with sound. Nothing new to learn — but every photo you take is also a small diary.

Live information on every photo

City, country, address, temperature, height, GPS, compass, speed, date and time. Add your phone model, a birthday age and your own copyright text. Choose what to show, drag it into order, and set the size.

Home distance and two clocks

Save your home city once. Every photo then shows how far you are from home, and your local time next to your home time. Perfect for travel.

Event countdown

Set a trip or event date. Every photo shows the count, like H‑3 before, H‑Today on the day, and H+2 after. Great for trips, projects and big days.

Share from the gallery

Open ShareZone in MemoCam. Friends nearby scan a QR code, or join your phone's hotspot. They download your new photos in their browser. No app, no cloud.

Real compass and speedometer

A small compass shows your direction in real time. The speedometer shows your speed as a number or as a clean gauge, in km/h, mph, m/s or knots.

A complete camera

Full quality photos and HD video with sound. Front and rear camera, flash and grid lines. The zoom buttons use the real lenses on your phone — wide, normal or zoom — not blurry digital zoom.

  • Full EXIF data is written too — GPS position, altitude, compass direction, date and device details, saved inside the file.
