SnapSafe
Read full descriptionHide full description
SnapSafe is a camera app that keeps every pixel—and every byte of data—exactly where it belongs: on YOUR device. Why SnapSafe? We capture photos locally, encrypt everything in private storage, let YOU decide if GPS tags are added, and strip out tell‑tale metadata automatically. Free and Open Source, forever. We NEVER phone home or talk to servers, slurp analytics or usage stats, sprinkle ads or trackers in the code, or read files outside our sandbox. Key Features: • Zero‑Leak Design – The app makes no internet connections what so ever. Not even backups to iCloud. • Fully Encrypted – Shots are written to app‑private storage using strong encryption. • Metadata Scrub‑A‑Dub – EXIF and other identifiers are wiped the instant you hit Share. • Anti-Doxing – Automatically Blur faces before sharing photos • PIN‑Locked Gallery – A separate PIN stands between curious thumbs and your photos. • Granular Location – Add coarse, fine, or zero location data—your call. • 100% Open Source – Auditable code in plain sight. • Poison Pill – Set a special PIN, that when entered, appears to work normally but actually deletes your existing photos. • Decoy Photos – Select innocuous decoy photos, these will be preserved when your Poison Pill is activated. That way your Gallery is not suspiciously empty. Privacy Policy: We collect nothing.

Camora is a private camera and vault for the photos, videos, documents, and notes you don't want stored anywhere but your own devices. THE CAMORA PROMISE We don't have your data. We can't have your data. There are no Camora servers holding your memories. No accounts, no analytics, no third-party SDKs scraping your usage. HOW IT WORKS Camora captures directly into an encrypted vault on your device. Every file is sealed with AES-GCM encryption using keys protected by your passcode and the device-only Keychain. Nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly share it. WHAT YOU GET • Encrypted camera that captures photos and videos straight into the vault, never the camera roll • Document scanner with the same end-to-end encryption • Encrypted notes, organized by collection • Face ID and passcode unlock with configurable lockout backoff • Local-only sync between your iPhone and Mac over Wi-Fi (no cloud relay) • Export to your photo library only when you choose • Vault backup that works without iCloud ABOUT DURESS MODE (PRO) A second passcode that opens an empty decoy vault while leaving your real vault sealed. Designed for situations where you may be compelled to unlock your phone. The decoy vault and the real vault are cryptographically separated: neither can decrypt the other. ABOUT PRO Camora is free for up to 100 items. Pro removes the limit and unlocks duress mode, vault backup, and the macOS companion app. ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY Camora has no servers, no telemetry, and no advertising integrations. The only network calls happen when you explicitly initiate a local sync between your devices. Your purchase receipt is the only thing that touches Apple's servers, and that's between you and Apple.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SnapSafe at none against Camora App's 3. SnapSafe also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (18.5 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
