OnceCam is the camera app that leaves nothing behind. Take a photo or short video, share it — and it's gone. No camera roll. No cloud backup. No server. The moment you tap Share (or cancel), the file is permanently wiped from memory. WHAT IT DOES • Full-screen camera — tap to take a photo or press & hold for short video • Share to any app: iMessage, WhatsApp, AirDrop, Instagram, and more • Automatically strips GPS location and EXIF metadata before sharing • No camera roll. No cloud backup. Save your photo storage space. • No account, no sign-up, no backend PRIVACY BY DESIGN Camera permission is the only permission OnceCam requests. Photos are never written to disk and never transmitted to any server. No photo library access. No analytics tied to your identity. One-time purchase. No subscription. No surprises.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: OnceCam at none against ARCCTV's shown. ARCCTV's advantage is chart position (#119 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
