Every photo you take carries more than you can see: where it was taken, which phone took it, when, and a trail of hidden data. Borofish helps you remove it before you share, and keeps your albums tidy while you're at it. STRIP โ REMOVE HIDDEN INFO โข Clean one photo or many at once, including videos โข Choose exactly what to remove: Location, Device, Time, Capture settings, Description (IPTC, copyright, author) โข Hidden data such as XMP, MakerNote and embedded thumbnails is always removed โข Works with HEIC, JPEG, PNG and more; formats that can't be rewritten are saved as JPEG โข Orientation and color profile are kept, so your photo looks exactly the same โข Videos are exported without re-encoding whenever possible โข The clean copy gets a new random file name, so the original name doesn't leak โข Your originals are never touched THE BOROFISH ALBUM Clean copies land in a dedicated "Borofish" album, ready to share. Compare any copy with its original, and when you're done, Dump the whole album with a long press. ALBUMS โ DELETE THE WAY YOU WANT Browse all your albums in a grid. See at a glance which ones contain photos with GPS data. When you delete an album, choose: โข Delete the album only (your photos stay) โข Delete the album and the photos that exist only in it โข Delete the album and all of its photos Borofish warns you when a photo also lives in another album, and every photo you delete goes to Recently Deleted, where you can recover it for 30 days. SWEEP โ CLEAR EMPTY ALBUMS Find every empty album in your library and sweep them away in one go. Uncheck any you want to keep. SEE WHAT YOUR PHOTOS REVEAL Tap any photo to see its full metadata. The home screen shows how many photos you have and where your most recent ones were taken, a quick reminder of what you might be sharing. DESIGNED FOR IPHONE AND IPAD A bold new dark design with smooth animations: clean photos fly into the Borofish album, and empty albums get swept off the screen. On iPad, a sidebar keeps everything one tap away. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Metadata is removed right on your device, and your photos are never uploaded.

Your camera shoots 30 to 60 photos every second โ Extract Frames lets you keep them. Turn any video into photos: every single frame, one per second, every Nth frame, or exactly the moment you want with a frame-by-frame scrubber. No ads. No subscription. Pay once and export forever. Most frame-grab apps let you save one photo at a time, then lock batch export behind a weekly subscription. This one doesn't. Every frame, full quality, one honest price. โข EVERY FRAME โ export a whole clip as photos in one go, at the video's full resolution. โข YOUR PACE โ every Nth frame or 1 per second for quick contact sheets. โข THE PERFECT MOMENT โ scrub to the exact frame on a millisecond timeline and export just that one. โข KNOW BEFORE YOU RUN โ see roughly how many frames you'll get before you extract. โข PICK FROM A GRID โ review every frame as thumbnails, select the keepers, and batch-save to Photos. โข 100% PRIVATE โ everything happens on your iPhone. Your videos are never uploaded anywhere. โข NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTION โ one $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited exports forever. Great for sports and action clips, picking the sharpest shot out of a moving moment, thumbnails for your channel, art and animation reference, form checks, and rescuing that one perfect frame from a live video. Tap Select Video, choose a mode, extract. Done.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Framely at Free against Borofish's $0.99. Framely also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Borofish's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
