Tired of your camera roll being a messy drawer of things you don't need? Receipts, parking spots, Wi-Fi passwords, and locker numbers don't belong next to your memories. Meet A Day, the self-clearing visual notepad. A Day is a simple tool built for one purpose: to hold your temporary visual notes, and then get out of the way. Capture a quick "snap" of anything you need to remember right now, but not forever. How it works: - A Clean Slate: Every snap you take disappears automatically after 24 hours. - Just 24: A simple 24-item limit keeps things light and manageable. - Stress-Free Utility: Use it for quick notes, reminders, or anything you'll be done with by tomorrow. Stop cluttering your gallery. Start your day fresh.

# App Store Description (English) --- A camera app that doesn't save to your Camera Roll. Shopping lists, whiteboard notes, schedules, homework handouts. You want to snap a quick photo of everyday documents and info, but your Camera Roll keeps getting cluttered. Important memories mixed in with photos you only needed for five minutes - and before you know it, finding or deleting anything becomes a chore. This app was built to fix that. Every photo you take stays inside the app only. Nothing touches your iPhone's photo library. Keep your Camera Roll clean while managing temporary photos right where they belong. Delete them when you're done. Your Camera Roll stays tidy, with only the photos that truly matter. - When it comes in handy - Snapping a sale flyer at the grocery store or pharmacy. Recording what's on the whiteboard in a meeting or on the blackboard at school. Keeping a copy of your kid's homework sheet or school calendar. Holding onto a prescription, appointment card, or government form for a bit. Collecting receipts for expenses or returns. Until now, you'd shoot these with your regular camera, then try to remember to delete them later. But let's be honest - forgotten photos pile up by the hundreds. With this app, they never hit your Camera Roll in the first place, so the problem simply doesn't exist. - Core Features (All Free) - Camera and Import Shoot directly with the in-app camera, or batch-import up to 50 photos at once from your photo library. Share Extension support means you can save images from Safari, Mail, Messages, and other apps with a single tap. Comfortable Viewing Browse your saved photos in a clean grid view. Tap to go full screen. Pinch to zoom freely, or double-tap for 2x magnification - perfect for reading fine print on documents and timetables. A thumbnail strip lets you swipe through photos quickly. Manage and Share Delete photos one by one, or select multiple for batch deletion. Share any photo via the share sheet - send it through Mail, Messages, AirDrop, or any other app. iCloud Sync and Backup Automatic sync powered by CloudKit and Core Data keeps your photos in sync across every iPhone and iPad signed in with the same Apple ID. A daily automatic backup runs in the background, and you can trigger a manual backup anytime from Settings. If anything goes wrong, restore your data from iCloud in just a few taps. - Pro (One-Time Purchase) - Folder Organization As your photos grow, create folders to sort them by purpose - "Shopping," "Work," "School," "Medical," or whatever categories make sense for you. Rename or delete folders freely. Move photos between folders, or batch-delete multiple folders at once. Biometric Lock Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Every time you open the app, authentication is required - keeping your documents and private photos safe from prying eyes. You can also set a passcode as a fallback when biometrics aren't available. Toggle authentication on or off, or change your passcode anytime in Settings. Pro is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no recurring charges. Pay once and it's yours forever. - Your Privacy, Protected - Every photo is stored on your device and in iCloud only. Nothing is uploaded to any external server. Your photo data is never shared with the developer or any third party, so you can confidently save documents containing personal information. Built by an independent developer. If you have questions, feedback, or feature requests, reach out through the in-app settings or leave a review on the App Store. Your input directly shapes future updates. - In a Nutshell - A camera app that keeps photos out of your Camera Roll. Manage temporary photos inside the app without cluttering your library. iCloud sync keeps everything safe across your devices. Go Pro for folder organization and Face ID lock - more control, more security. Keep your Camera Roll for the photos that matter.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: A Day at none against StashCam's 1. A Day also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
