About

TouchFile

Features
Read full description

TouchFile is a clean, focused tool for inspecting and editing file metadata—timestamps, attributes, permissions, and image EXIF. FEATURES • Timestamps — Edit creation and modification dates with ease • Attributes & Permissions — Hidden, Locked (immutable), and POSIX read/write/execute bits • Photo EXIF — Date taken, camera make & model, lens, software, and GPS; leave a field empty to clear it, or turn off GPS to remove location • Batch Edit — Apply the same changes to many files at once: set to now, a fixed date, or increment/decrement by interval • Photo Library (iOS) — Pick photos or videos, edit metadata, then Save to Photos • Open Files — Edit images in writable locations (Files app, iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, and more); changes write to the original file • Broad support — Images, video, documents, and folders GREAT FOR • Fixing photo taken dates or removing location data • Batch-aligning creation/modification dates for sorting and archives • Organizing metadata across documents, photos, and videos • Fine-grained control of permissions, Hidden, and Locked flags TIPS Photos imported from your library are working copies inside TouchFile. iOS cannot rewrite an album item's embedded EXIF in place, so Save to Photos creates a new library item with your changes; the original stays unchanged. Files opened from a writable location are updated directly. After editing, you can still Save to Photos if you also want a copy in your library. Simple UI. Metadata only. TouchFile keeps your file info in order.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: TP at Free against TouchFile's $2.99. TP also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). TouchFile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
