Your camera roll was never meant to be a filing cabinet. Receipts, class notes, work pictures, screenshots, reference images, and photos you only need to remember something all end up beside the pictures you actually want to see. PicsFold gives them a place of their own. PicsFold is a second photo gallery built around folders. Take photos directly into the folder where they belong, or import pictures you already have. Everything stored in PicsFold stays separate from your main Photos library, making it easier to organize and easier to find. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH PICSFOLD • Create separate folders for work, school, receipts, projects, hobbies, or anything else. • Choose a folder while taking photos. • Take photos directly into PicsFold without adding them to your main Photos library. • Copy existing photos into PicsFold while keeping the originals in Photos. • Import photos and remove the originals from your main Photos library after confirmation. • Browse everything in a separate gallery, grouped by date. • Select and manage multiple photos or folders at once. • Export photos whenever you need them elsewhere. • Create backups and restore your PicsFold library later. HOW PICSFOLD WORKS 1. Create a folder for the photos you want to keep together. 2. Use the PicsFold camera to take photos directly into that folder, or add existing photos from your library. 3. Find them later by opening the folder or browsing your separate PicsFold gallery. When importing a photo, you can keep the original in your main Photos library or choose to remove it after it has been copied into PicsFold. A system confirmation appears before deletion. USE PICSFOLD FOR • Receipts, documents, and IDs • Class notes, presentation slides, and whiteboards • Work and project photos • Before-and-after pictures • Screenshots and reference images • Hobby collections and visual ideas • Photos you need to keep but do not want mixed into your main library PRIVACY BY DESIGN No account is required. Your photos are stored locally on your device and are never uploaded to a PicsFold server. If you choose to enable optional crash reporting, technical diagnostic information may be sent to help identify problems and improve app stability. Because your PicsFold library is stored locally, remember to create a backup before deleting the app or moving to another device. PICSFOLD PRO PicsFold includes optional Pro features available through in-app purchase. If you choose a subscription, it renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. You can manage or cancel your subscription from your Apple Account subscription settings. Keep your main library for the photos you want to see. Let PicsFold organize the rest.

About

Timeless Cam

Read full description

Some photos are not finished. They are waiting for you to return with today. Timeless Cam is made for rephotographing a place from the same viewpoint. Choose an old photo, return to where it was taken, and place the past as a translucent layer over the live camera. Line up buildings, people, or familiar edges, then press the shutter when past and present meet. Now the real figures, art toys, plush friends, and dolls that travel with you can become part of that timeline too. A SHELF FOR REAL COMPANIONS • Choose a photo and save a companion’s name, type, date met, and story • Favorite special companions and see days together and shared-photo counts • Add several angles to a reusable Real-World Pose Library; Apple Vision separates each foreground once on your device • Tap “Take Them Somewhere” to place a saved pose into any existing time photo, then drag, resize, and rotate it • Open a Travel Passport to revisit trips, places, and days together • Make a high-resolution Companion Postcard in one of three journal styles • Tap “Let Them Say Something” for a gentle, editable line of local text—never voice or a notification • Take up to three new camera photos with a physical companion per local calendar day; ordinary photos without a companion remain unlimited • Pick the companion joining a new photo, change the link later, search by name, and include the name in a PDF diary • Archive a companion from the shelf without deleting its profile, photos, pose assets, or captured time photos REPHOTOGRAPH PAST AND PRESENT • Overlay an old photo on the live camera; move, zoom, rotate, hide, or adjust its opacity • Shoot in portrait 3:4 or landscape 4:3, then rotate 90° before saving • Drag a Then/Now divider and keep adding returns to one visible timeline • Start with today when you do not have an older photo yet ORGANIZE, FIND, AND EXPORT • Edit titles, places, dates, and notes; search by date, place, keywords, or companion • Type a place or request a one-time current-location suggestion • Write a caption or choose a gentle, editable line from the built-in library • Choose four comparison layouts or an on-device visual recommendation • Save comparisons to Photos and export an A4 PDF diary with the timeline UI, notes, and companion names • Switch between Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean inside the app PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Timeless Cam has no developer server, ads, analytics, or tracking SDK. Photos, profiles, reusable cutouts, timelines, places, and notes stay on your device. Apple Vision only segments foregrounds on device; the app performs no face/person identity recognition or companion/object category classification. Nothing is uploaded. Gentle lines come from a built-in library, not cloud AI, and appear only when requested as quiet text. The system photo picker shares only images you choose. Only new camera moments with a physical companion count toward the three-per-local-day limit. Imports, cutouts, placement, editing, and export do not count; ordinary camera photos remain unlimited. Location is optional. You can always type a place manually. If you request an automatic suggestion, the app obtains your current location once and uses Apple Core Location geocoding to suggest a readable place name. That Apple system service may need a network connection, but your location is not sent to a Timeless Cam developer server. Denying location does not prevent shooting or manual place entry. New users can try all creation and export features for seven days. The trial does not renew and never charges automatically. When it ends, existing photos, companion profiles, and timelines remain available to view. A single lifetime purchase unlocks continued shooting, editing, and export. Version 1.0 users keep permanent full access. Return to the same place, with the companions that make it yours.
