TempPix vs Better Camera

Never clutter your Camera Roll with temporary snaps again. How many times have you taken a photo of a parking meter, coffee receipt, Wi-Fi password, or parcel locker code — only for it to stay in your photo library forever, crowding out precious memories and eating up iCloud storage? TempPix is the smart, privacy-first camera designed specifically for throwaway moments. Take a snap, and let TempPix handle the rest: it automatically vanishes after 21 days (or your custom timer). KEY FEATURES: [1] TEMPORARY PHOTO VAULT Every photo taken in TempPix lives in its own sandboxed vault — completely separate from your main Apple Photos library. [2] AUTOMATIC COUNTDOWN & EXPIRY Photos auto-expire after 21 days by default. Set custom timers (1 hour, 3 days, 14 days, or 30 days) for parking tickets, rental car scans, and transit passes. Need to keep one? Tap "Lock" to save it forever. [3] ON-DEVICE VISION OCR TempPix uses Apple Neural Engine Vision to automatically detect receipts, parking permits, and documents — showing instant summary badges and total costs. [4] SMART SWEEP DECLUTTER Already have thousands of old screenshots cluttering your camera roll? Smart Sweep scans your device and safely removes temporary clutter to reclaim storage. [5] SAVE FROM ANY APP Use the iOS Share Sheet in Safari, WhatsApp, or Files to drop screenshots and QR codes directly into TempPix without saving to Photos. [6] HANDS-FREE SIRI & ACTION BUTTON Just say: "Hey Siri, take a temporary photo" for instantaneous capture. Map TempPix to your Action Button or Back Tap for one-touch snaps. [7] BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Experience the adaptive dual-pane canvas on Apple's foldable iPhone Duo — browse your photo vault on the left while inspecting Vision OCR details on the right. [8] 100% PRIVATE & ON-DEVICE No account required. No cloud uploads. No analytics tracking. Your photos never leave your device.

Camera, but better. No AI. No compromise. Better Camera is the iPhone camera app for photographers who want what they see. No scene detection rewriting your photo. No smart HDR flattening highlights. No AI denoise smoothing skin into plastic. Just manual ISO, shutter, focus, and white balance – plus film simulations that respect what light actually did. When the stock Camera isn't enough but pro tools are too much, Better Camera is the camera in between. Simple where it can be. Manual where it matters. Honest about what it captures. BUY FILM, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Start with 12 free shots. When they run out, buy a 36-shot roll – or the whole camera once, and never think about it again. No countdown, no expiry, no renewal you forgot about. Film you own, the way film used to work. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY SHOOT – Manual ISO and Shutter Speed, plus Auto ISO and Auto Shutter – Shutter Priority and ISO Priority modes for flexible exposure control – Three focus modes: C-Auto across the frame, S-Auto locked to your point, and full Manual – Focus peaking highlights sharp edges as you focus by hand, in your choice of colour – Live histogram in the viewfinder, so you can see clipping before you press the shutter – Exposure compensation in third stops with a thumb-friendly stepper – Flash power compensation across five steps, for fill light that doesn't overpower – White balance presets (Daylight, Cloudy, Shade, Tungsten, Fluorescent) plus full manual Kelvin control – Tap to focus in any mode, including Manual – Front camera with screen flash for low-light selfies EVERY LENS, INCLUDING MACRO All your iPhone's lenses in one row, from ultra wide to telephoto. On supported models a dedicated macro lens gets you close enough to fill the frame with something small. FILM, THE WAY IT SHOULD LOOK Ten carefully crafted film simulations modelled on real stocks photographers actually shoot. Each is a proper colour profile – authentic rendering of colour, contrast, and tonal response. Not a slapped-on filter. GRAIN, OPTIONAL A separate grain layer, with four intensity levels, that can be applied to any film simulation or to unfiltered photos. Rendered per-pixel through a Metal compute shader. The grain is monochromatic – a single noise value per pixel applied equally across colour channels – the way real film grain actually behaves. OUTPUT YOU CAN TRUST – HEIF for everyday shooting – JPEG for compatibility – Lossless TIFF for archival, post-processing, and when compression is not acceptable Full EXIF metadata embedded in every photo: exposure values, lens information, GPS, and the film simulation used. QUALITY OF LIFE – Camera settings persist between sessions – open the app and your setup is exactly where you left it, ready to shoot – On-screen rule-of-thirds grid and gravity-based level line – iPhone Camera Control support – Hardware shutter button (volume keys) – Launch from Lock Screen control – Designed for one-handed use BUILT BY A PHOTOGRAPHER Better Camera was made by a Fuji X-T5 and Ricoh GR shooter who wanted his iPhone to feel as deliberate as a real camera in his pocket. No AI. No filters pretending to be film. No menus inside menus. Just a camera, but better.
