Save your favorite illustrations, reference images, or memes you want to keep organized away from your device's Photos library. Collection Albums in PicMate can contain both albums and pics, allowing you to organize with even more flexibility. Sort by name or item count, and choose between grid, list, or carousel layouts to browse your collection exactly the way you want. Scan and quickly remove duplicated pics from your collection or within a specific album. Libraries Create and manage multiple libraries to keep your collections completely separate. Organize by distinct groups of pics, or by project. Import Bring images into PicMate from other apps by sharing them into PicMate. Need to bring in content from your Photos library?

Roll 24

Roll-24 is a camera that asks you to slow down. You get 24 shots a day. One roll. No screen showing the photo after you press the shutter. No retakes. No filters to fuss over between frames. Just the viewfinder, the click, and the wait. At midnight, your roll develops. That's when you finally see what the day looked like. Some of it will be beautiful. Some of it will be a thumb. That's the point. How it works - Open the app. Pick a film stock. - Shoot up to 24 frames before the day ends. - At 00:00, the roll develops and the gallery unlocks. - Pin one favorite to your corkboard. Keep it forever. What you get - A clean, distraction-free camera. No feed. No likes. No followers. - Four film stocks: Standard and Black & White out of the box. - A private corkboard for the frames that stayed with you. - Sign in with Apple. That's it. Your rolls stay yours. - Optional share cards if you want to send one to a friend. Premium, plainly Roll-24 is free. If you want more, there are a few small unlocks: - Pro Roll — $0.99 for 32 shots instead of 24, one-time. - Premium Filters — $3.99 to unlock Gold 200 and Tokyo, one-time. - Archive Export — $1.99 to export your full archive, one-time. No subscriptions. No ads. No tracking. No nagging. Twenty-four frames is a small number. That's why every one of them matters.
