Stay Zone is a temporary drop zone for your files. Share anything from any app — photos, videos, PDFs, documents — and Stay Zone holds it for you until you're done. When the timer runs out, it's gone. No cleanup needed. SHARE FROM ANYWHERE Use the Share Sheet in any app to drop files directly into Stay Zone. Or tap the + button to import from your camera, photo library, or Files app. AUTO-EXPIRY Every file has an expiry timer. Set how long files are kept — minutes or hours — and Stay Zone deletes them automatically in the background, even when the app is closed. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Pick an accent colour, switch between dark and light mode, and adjust the default retention time to fit how you work. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. Your files stay on your device and are deleted automatically — nothing leaves your phone. Perfect for: temporarily storing screenshots before sharing, holding files between apps, keeping downloads tidy without manual deletion.
