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.

LibreCam is a manual RAW camera for iPhone that captures what the sensor sees, and nothing more. Shoot true Bayer DNGs, single-frame HEIFs, or both at once, with no fusion, no aggressive processing, no account, no tracking and no subscription. The stock camera applies Smart HDR, Deep Fusion, noise reduction, sharpening and tone mapping to every shot. LibreCam turns off everything that can be turned off, and is honest about what cannot. DNG: the true Bayer sensor readout. No fusion, no noise reduction, no tone mapping, no distortion correction. One frame, exactly as the sensor read it. HEIF: a single frame developed by the hardware ISP. No fusion, no HDR, no semantic tricks. LOOKS: nine fixed color recipes, applied to the HEIF as you shoot. Build your own with dials in the Look Editor, and import or export standard .cube files. The DNG is never touched. PRINT: share a shot as a framed print. Ink or paper matte, and a label with the exposure, camera, date, place and your name, set like a museum caption. A copy made for sharing; the photo itself stays as it is. LIBRECAM PRO: one purchase, no subscription, and only two things are paid: the Look Editor for your own recipes, and the Apple Watch remote. Everything else is free. FEATURES - Every physical lens on your iPhone. No digital zoom, ever. - The front camera too, with mirrored or true-to-sensor selfies. - An Apple Watch remote: shutter, readouts, framing assist. (LibreCam Pro) - Manual focus, shutter, ISO, exposure bias and white balance. Everything is automatic until touched. - Focus peaking: the sharpest edges glow amber while you focus. - Nine looks free; build your own with LibreCam Pro. - Print: a framed, captioned copy of any shot, ready to share. - Shutter priority and ISO priority metering. - Hardware shutter on the volume buttons. No shutter sound. - Add-only Photos access. No account, no tracking. - Optional location tagging, written into the photo on your device. A camera, not a computer.
