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.
EXIF Metadata Scrubber

Share a moment from your life without including every detail stored in the photo file. Private Photo Scrubber helps you see supported photo metadata, create a sharing copy, and check that copy again. Keep your original photo and its memories for yourself. CHECK BEFORE YOU SHARE See supported location, capture time, device and software details, plus description and copyright fields. If a field is unknown or cannot be checked, the app tells you. CREATE A SEPARATE COPY Create a new JPEG from a supported JPEG or HEIC/HEIF photo. The app checks the output before offering it for saving or sharing. Your original is not overwritten. START WITH ONE PHOTO Inspect one photo at a time for free. Create one checked sharing copy each day. Checks can continue after the daily copy allowance is used. Failed checks and photos with no supported fields to remove do not use a successful-copy allowance. LIFETIME PRO FOR BATCHES Work with up to 20 photos per batch, save checked copies together, and view local run summaries. One purchase. No subscription. Your local price is shown before purchase. Existing purchases can be restored. PHOTO PROCESSING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE No photo upload or account is needed for the core task. App Store purchases and restoration connect to Apple. Local history stores counts and outcomes, not your photos or metadata values. KNOW WHAT CHANGES Outputs are JPEG copies. Format, file size and color may change. PNG, RAW, video and full Live Photo pairs are outside the current processing support. In-app size limits apply. Checks cover the supported fields the app reads. Visible details in the picture, unknown fields, and information added by another service are outside that promise. Removing metadata does not make a photo anonymous or prevent someone from forwarding it.
