Archipic is a private photo journal for architects. You notice architecture everywhere — a façade on a walk, a joint at an exhibition, a plan in a book, a model on a desk. Archipic turns that habit into a structured, searchable archive. Take the photo, answer two quick prompts, and it files itself. On iPhone and iPad. CAPTURE IN SECONDS A focused camera built for the street: tap the shutter, two taps to tag, done — fast enough to use while walking. A native viewfinder with grid, level, aspect-ratio guides, tap-to-focus and exposure, pinch zoom, and film-inspired colour looks. Add a Capture action to your Action Button or Siri and you're in the viewfinder without even opening the app. STRUCTURED TAGS, NOT TYPING Every photo is filed with a small, consistent vocabulary instead of a keyboard: - Building — typology (residential, office, public, commercial, civic, hospitality, heritage, industrial, landscape) and room. - Element — structure, openings, envelope, finishes, details and more. - Graphic — artwork, book, drawing, plan, render, model, web and more. Add materials, concepts, a rating, keywords, author/year, or a project — only the fields you want. Can't remember which category something is under? Type its name and Archipic takes you straight to it. GET REFERENCES IN Save straight from Photos, Files, Messages or a screenshot — share an image to Archipic, pick its kind, and it's in your archive. FIND IT AGAIN Browse by Time, by Reference (what's in the photo), by Project, or by Place on a map. Search across every tag. Filter by type, project, favourites, or minimum rating. Pinch the grid to resize it. BOARDS Compose any selection into a print-ready poster — a justified gallery wall — or an A4 journal, exported as PDF, or as a square, portrait or story image ready to share. WORKS WITH YOUR TOOLS Exported photos carry your tags as standard metadata — keywords, caption, title and rating — so they open correctly in Lightroom, Bridge and InDesign. Your capture date comes along too, and a single setting keeps or strips the location when you share. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos and tags are yours. They're stored on your device and sync through your own iCloud across your devices — no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no third-party servers. Designed for working architects, by an architect. ## Is Archipic safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Archipic. ## Is Archipic legit? Archipic has limited verification signals.

NOW ON IPAD A proper big-screen archive. The four lenses move into a sidebar, the grid fills the page, and the Board composer becomes two panes — your photos on one side, a live poster preview on the other. Portrait and landscape. SAVE FROM THE SHARE SHEET A façade in your camera roll, a plan someone sent you, a screenshot you grabbed? Share the image straight to Archipic, pick Building, Element or Graphic, and it's filed — ready to finish tagging later. CAPTURE WITHOUT OPENING THE APP A new "Capture in Archipic" action for Shortcuts, Siri and the Action Button. Hold the button and you're in the viewfinder — optionally filing straight into a named project. FIND ANY TAG BY NAME Not sure which category a fence lives under? Tap the new search button and type it — Archipic jumps straight to the tag, wherever it's filed, so the vocabulary that makes your archive searchable stays consistent. SUGGESTIONS FROM THE PHOTO Photograph a book page or a wall label and Archipic reads it on-device, offering the title, author and year for one-tap confirmation. Nothing leaves your phone. YOUR TAGS TRAVEL Shared photos now carry their tags as standard metadata — keywords, caption, title and rating — so they open correctly in Lightroom, Bridge and InDesign. Keep or strip the location per share. SHAREABLE BOARDS Export a Board as a square, portrait or story image, not just a PDF — ready to post. Plus a smoother camera level, faster capture, and fixes throughout. ### 1.3 — 2026-07-28 Version 1.3 — What's New Video comes to Archi.vé — plus a visual refresh and a lot of polish. VIDEO Capture video as easily as stills. Switch the camera between Photo and Video, record in clean HD, and your clips file, browse, share, and land on Boards right alongside your photos — cropped to the same framing you shot. A NEW MARK A new icon — a filled disc inside a technical dash-dot ring — now runs through the whole app. It's the shutter you tap, and it spins while a video records. The Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Centre widgets wear it too. ONE CAMERA Reference and Project capture are now a single, calmer viewfinder: your project sits top-left, tilt correction top-right, and the film looks are one tap away — with the frame holding its exact size as you choose. COLOUR, REWORKED The film looks were rebuilt from measured colour — natural skin tones across the set, and a proper Eterna: green-shadowed and moody, with crisp, saturated neons. BOARDS Compose any selection into a print-ready poster — a justified gallery wall — or an A4 journal, exported as PDF. A SMOOTHER GALLERY Thumbnails fade in like the native Photos grid instead of blinking, filters animate cleanly, and the grid remembers your preferred photos-per-row. And dozens of fixes across video recording, capture speed, and stability. ### 1.2 — 2026-06-29 Bug fixes and stability improvements. • Fixed a rare crash in the photo editor on large files • Fixed memory issues when exporting large boards • Improved gallery performance ### version 1.1 — 2026-06-18 • Film-inspired colour looks in the camera, with real grain • Photo editor: crop, straighten/tilt, rotate, colour — non-destructive • Tag photos straight from your Photos library, in batches • Drag across thumbnails to select many at once • Boards & Journals: turn a selection into a printable B1 poster or an A4 journal (PDF) • Add a place/city to any photo, shown on boards • Choose whether the app opens to the camera or the gallery ### 1.0 — 2026-06-11 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Archipic | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Lift My Place: AI Home Staging](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lift-my-place-ai-home-staging/id6759627667) | — | Free | Photo & Video | | [Drape - AI Interior Design](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/drape-ai-interior-design/id6747721567) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Photo & Video | | [AI Home Planner – Design App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ai-home-planner-design-app/id6758208638) | 4.6 (14) | Free | Photo & Video | | [Room design & AI home interior](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/room-design-and-ai-home-interior/id6752018555) | 1.0 (1) | Free | Photo & Video | | [Dehancer Color Test](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dehancer-color-test/id6447295449) | 4.9 (100) | Free | Photo & Video | | [Decko: Scape Landscape Design](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/decko-scape-landscape-design/id6744351793) | 3.8 (5) | Free | Photo & Video | ## More apps by SAMI ABDULNOUR - [My Blunders](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-blunders/id6795417088) All apps by SAMI ABDULNOUR: https://appshunter.io/developer/6777989744 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
