Photographer's Pocket Knife is a complete photo workflow on iPhone and iPad: pick the keepers, develop your RAW files and deliver them, all in one app and one catalog.
It was made by a photojournalist with 16 years on deadline, for photographers who need to send the right pictures fast, wherever they are.
IMPORT — SAFE COPIES
• Import from the Photos library, the Files app, folders and connected camera cards
• Every import is copied into the app and verified with a checksum, so editing never depends on a card staying connected
• Folder templates, an event name and an optional backup copy at the same time
CULL — PICK THE KEEPERS, FAST
• Adjustable thumbnail grid, stars, picks, rejects and colour labels
• RAW+JPEG pairs shown as one photo
• Search, advanced filters and sorting, with badges for photos already delivered
• Side-by-side compare with synchronized zoom and pan
• Smart selection checks focus, exposure and closed eyes and suggests the best frame of each moment, and can learn your own taste
• Duplicate detection, batch rename, capture time offsets, GPS map and automatic keywords
CAPTIONS AND METADATA
• Full IPTC editing for one photo or a whole batch; fields you do not touch keep their individual values
• Caption variables, code replacements, saved XMP templates and copy/paste of metadata
• Save and next, for captioning a sequence quickly
DEVELOP — NON-DESTRUCTIVE EDITING
• RAW development with exposure, tone curve, HSL, colour grading, sharpening, noise reduction, vignette and grain
• Local adjustments with masks, object removal, crop and geometry
• One-tap Auto edit, history, snapshots, presets and learned styles
• On iPad, the photo and the controls sit side by side
EXPORT AND DELIVER
• JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, PNG and linear DNG, with resizing, colour profiles, sharpening, watermark and metadata rules
• Save to Files, share, add to Photos or send straight to your servers
• FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV and S3 destinations, with connection tests, a default destination and a transfer queue with pause, retry and CSV history
• Passwords and SSH keys are kept in the Keychain; SFTP server keys are pinned and changed keys are rejected
• Client contact-sheet PDF and a shareable client gallery
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no tracking and no data collected
• Your photos stay on your device and only go to the servers you set up
• Optional selection and removal models are downloaded once, then run on the device
English and Portuguese, light and dark appearance.
