Faciem / BeReal import

Free BeReal import

Bring every BeReal into a private timeline.

Faciem reads your BeReal data export and adds each day to your timeline, front and back together, retakes included. It all happens on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, and it's free.

How it works

  1. Get your export. Request a copy of your data from BeReal. You'll get a ZIP. Step-by-step guide.
  2. Open it in Faciem. Settings → Data → Import from BeReal, then choose the ZIP.
  3. Your days appear. Each one lands on its date in your timeline, with the front and back photo paired.

Tested on a real archive

We ran it on a real 1,408-post BeReal export. 1,407 came in. The one that didn't was missing from BeReal's own archive, and Faciem said so in plain words, with the date, rather than failing quietly.

Safe to stop, safe to run again

Stopping partway is safe. Faciem tells you exactly how much was saved, and running the same file again finishes the job. If a file can't be read, you get the date, the reason, and what to do about it. Nothing is dropped quietly.

Private by design

The import happens on your phone. Faciem has no account and no cloud; your archive lives in the app on your device. If you want it to survive a lost phone, turn on iCloud Backup. You can export everything as JPEG + JSON anytime. Read the privacy policy.

Then keep going

After the import, your BeReal years and your new Faciem days live in one timeline. Turn any stretch of it into a timelapse.
