Some photos only matter for a while Parking spots, pickup codes, Wi‑Fi passwords, receipts, tickets, room numbers, whiteboards, and screenshots can be useful right now—and unnecessary a few hours or days later. But they often stay in Photos long after you are done with them. Unrato is built for that temporary media. Set a lifetime when you capture or import a photo, video, or screenshot. Keep it easy to find while it matters, then review it for cleanup when it expires. Decide how long to keep it when you capture it Use the Unrato camera for temporary photos and videos, and choose an expiry before you capture. You can also: - Import photos and videos from Photos - Send screenshots, photos, and videos to Unrato from the iOS share sheet Instead of cleaning everything up later, give temporary media a lifetime from the beginning. Review expired media in one place Unrato separates media that is still in use from media that is ready to clear. See: - Temporary media still in use - Items ready to clear - Item counts - Reclaimable storage Clear one item, select several, or start a cleanup request for multiple items. Unrato never deletes your photos without your approval. iOS presents the system Photos confirmation before deletion. Turn useful text into a Temp Card Sometimes the important part of a photo is not the whole image—it is one small piece of information inside it. After taking a photo, use on-device text recognition to extract useful information such as: - Pickup codes - Wi‑Fi passwords - Parking details - Trips - Addresses - Room numbers - Other temporary text Turn it into a compact Temp Card, give it an expiry, mark it complete, or pin it to a widget. That way, the information you need stays easy to see without repeatedly opening Photos. Capture from wherever you are Unrato provides several quick ways to get to temporary media: - Quick camera button in the app - Home Screen app icon quick action - Lock Screen widget - Control Center control - Home Screen widgets - iOS share sheet The goal is simple: when temporary information appears, saving it should take as few steps as possible. Stays connected to Apple Photos Original photos and videos captured with Unrato remain in Apple Photos, so they continue to work with your other apps. With Full Photos Access, Unrato can reconcile items deleted or restored in Photos and avoid repeatedly importing the same library asset when possible. Recently Deleted retention and recovery remain under iOS control. Private by design No account is required for core features. - OCR runs on device - Temp Cards are stored locally - Lifetime records are stored locally - Thumbnails and widget snapshots are stored locally in the app and its App Group - No advertising in the current version - No cross-app tracking - No cloud upload of original media Useful for - Parking locations and space numbers - Parcel pickup codes and locker details - Wi‑Fi names and passwords - Receipts, tickets, and temporary expense records - Trips, addresses, room numbers, and passes - Whiteboards, product details, and short-lived screenshots
