Borofish vs Dropack

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 — REMOVE HIDDEN INFO • Clean one photo or many at once, including videos • Choose exactly what to remove: Location, Device, Time, Capture settings, Description (IPTC, copyright, author) • Hidden data such as XMP, MakerNote and embedded thumbnails is always removed • Works with HEIC, JPEG, PNG and more; formats that can't be rewritten are saved as JPEG • Orientation and color profile are kept, so your photo looks exactly the same • Videos are exported without re-encoding whenever possible • The clean copy gets a new random file name, so the original name doesn't leak • 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 — 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: • Delete the album only (your photos stay) • Delete the album and the photos that exist only in it • 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 — 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.

Bring a whole photo and video collection together in one shareable album. • Choose from Photos or Files. Package original resources on your device without additional image compression. Share a .dropack album or export a standard ZIP. • Use AirDrop through the system share sheet. Open a received .dropack album in Dropack, review its contents, then sync to Photos. • Share the full album again after adding new items. Dropack recognizes matching content it has previously imported and skips those saved items. • Import an ordinary unencrypted ZIP, a folder, or individual photos and videos as a one-time task. USB drives and card readers are available through Files when iOS recognizes them. • Follow thumbnails and progress as items are saved, with safe pause and resume. Manage retained shared albums from the library. No account is required. Media is processed on your device and is not uploaded to Dropack servers. Choose from 16 interface languages and light or dark appearance. Requires iOS/iPadOS 17 or later. Keep the app in the foreground and allow space for packages, temporary files and saved media. Keep external storage connected. Supported media formats depend on Photos. iCloud originals may need downloading; originals can retain capture dates and location metadata. Resume applies to Dropack tasks, not AirDrop transfers. Each video is saved to Photos as a whole asset; an unfinished ZIP entry is extracted again.
