Keep your camera roll organized, starting with the photos you only need for a little while. SnapTemp is the auto-delete camera for useful photos and videos — not memories. Capture what you need, keep it separate from Apple Photos, and let it disappear on a schedule you choose. Already have a cluttered photo library? Use Photo Review to browse by month or album, organize your photos, and choose unwanted items to delete. Scan QR codes directly from the camera or a photo when you need quick information. FOR THE LITTLE THINGS YOU NEED RIGHT NOW • Delivery and takeout receipts until the refund, return, or expense is settled • Parking level, gate, locker, and room details until you are back • Return labels, package details, and pickup information until the job is done • Price comparisons, measurements, and product labels while you are deciding • Whiteboards, meeting notes, and temporary work references • Short videos that are useful today, but not worth keeping forever TAKE IT. USE IT. LET IT GO. Every capture starts in SnapTemp instead of instantly filling Apple Photos. Choose how long it should stay available, then get a reminder before it expires. Review the temporary library anytime and decide what to keep, share, or remove. SAVE THE KEEPERS — WITHOUT CONFUSION When something matters, save a copy to Apple Photos or share it from SnapTemp. A copy you save to Photos never auto-deletes. Only SnapTemp's local temporary copy follows the expiry schedule. YOUR TEMPORARY CAMERA WORKFLOW • Take photos and videos without adding every shot to Photos • Choose a default lifetime or adjust it when plans change • See upcoming expiry in a clear, time-based queue • Save, share, or delete individual items whenever you choose • Keep temporary media separate from the photos you want to remember • Scan QR codes from the camera when you need quick reference OPTIONAL PRO UPGRADE Unlock longer retention choices, a specific delete date, unlimited multi-select, and more watermark controls with a one-time purchase. SnapTemp keeps the useful details close — and the temporary clutter out of your photo library.
