## What is Fotologue?

Fotologue turns the box of family photos into a library you can browse by year and place, on iPhone and iPad.

SCAN WITH THE SCANNER YOU ALREADY HAVE
Put several prints on the glass and tap Scan the Fronts. Fotologue finds each print and saves it as its own photo. It works over Wi-Fi with AirPrint scanners, like the Epson EcoTank series, with no cables or drivers. Choose 300, 600 or 1200 dpi.

KEEP THE STORIES ON THE BACK
Flip the prints and tap Scan the Backs. Fotologue matches each back to its front and reads the handwriting on your device, so "Havana, summer 1958" stays with its photo and 1958 is suggested as its year. Tap Turn Over any time to see the back.

BROWSE BY YEAR AND PLACE
Your photos are grouped by year and by place, so finding Grandma's garden in 1987 takes seconds. Add a place, notes and the year as you go, and search everything, including the writing on the backs. No Year Yet and Backs to Check show what still needs a look.

DATES AND PEOPLE
Not sure exactly when? Choose "About 1965" or "the 1960s". Add who's in each photo, then open People to see everyone at a glance. Select a stack of photos to give them all the same year, place and people in one go.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Fotologue is in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and reads handwriting on the backs in all three.

ONE FAMILY LIBRARY
Invite family through iCloud to a Family Library you all add to. Your photos and the family's show up together in Years and Places, or switch to Family Library or Just Mine. Give each person Can Add & Edit or View Only, see who has joined, and move any photo into the Family Library when you're ready to share it.

YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS
- Your library is kept as ordinary image files in your own iCloud Drive, with the year, place and notes saved inside each file, so it opens on any computer.
- Want them in Apple Photos too? Turn on "Add New Scans to Photos", or select a few and tap Share > Add to Photos. They're dated by the year they were taken and kept in their own "Fotologue" album.
- Share photos by AirDrop, Messages, Mail or Save to Files, fronts only or with their backs, as JPEG, HEIC, PNG or TIFF.
- Deleted photos wait in Recently Deleted for 30 days.
- Everything is processed on your device. No account, no ads.

TRY IT FREE
Your first 10 scans are free, and backs never count. Fotologue Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited scanning, shared with your family through Family Sharing. No subscription. Browsing, details, sharing and the Family Library stay free either way.

### 5/5 — Simple and easy

*2026-11-07*

This app makes it so easy for me to keep all my old photos forever and catalog them by time and place with little work. I get to show my children old photos without risking them getting lost or damaged. Highly recommend!
