Sidepic stores images separate from your main photo library. It’s perfect for pictures you don’t want cluttering your photo library. Maybe it’s pics you don’t want synced by the Photos app, images you gather from the web, or any photos you just want to keep separate. Sidepic stores photos on your device so they are always available, just off to the side. It’s easy to get photos into Sidepic: – add from the Photos app – add from the Files app – add from any other app that can share an image – capture directly from the Camera app – paste images from the clipboard – drag and drop from your Mac – sync from an SMB server (Pro only) Sidepic includes handy interface features: – sort by newest or oldest – flag low-resolution images – view basic details about images (size, resolution, and date) – switch between square previews or original aspect ratio – change the app icon (light or dark) Try out Sidepic with up to 50 photos. To store more photos, upgrade to Sidepic Unlimited (in-app purchase). To do even more, upgrade to Sidepic Pro (in-app purchase) and unlock SMB server sync, duplicate photo detection, basic cropping, background privacy, plus unlimited photos. If you’ve already purchased Sidepic Unlimited, you’ll automatically see a discounted upgrade price for Sidepic Pro.

Need to rename a pile of photos or files at once — IMG_4821 to Trip_001, or scans to 2026-07-18_Receipt? Renamely batch-renames them on your iPhone with text, a number sequence and a date, and shows every new name before anything changes. Choose photos, files or a whole folder, build a name pattern, check the live preview, then rename. • NAME PATTERNS — your own text at the start, optionally followed by the original file name, a number sequence and a date. Choose the separator: underscore, hyphen, space or period. • NUMBER SEQUENCE — pick the starting number and 1 to 4 digits (1, 01, 001 or 0001). • DATES FROM THE FILE OR THE PHOTO — use the file date or the date the photo was taken (EXIF), in formats like 2026-07-18, 20260718, 2026-07-18_1430 or Jul 18 2026. • LIVE PREVIEW — see the new names before you commit. Duplicate names get _2, _3 … automatically, so nothing is overwritten. • RENAME A FOLDER IN PLACE — pick a folder in Files and its files are renamed right there, safely in two steps so no file clobbers another. • PHOTOS AND FILES — save the renamed copies to Photos under their new names, or to Files, or share them; the originals are left as they are. Good to know: the Photos library itself doesn't let apps rename pictures, so photos come out as renamed copies. Folder renaming covers the files directly inside the chosen folder, not subfolders or hidden files. File extensions are kept. Everything runs on your iPhone — your files are never uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free on up to 3 files. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited renaming. No subscription, no ads.
