Looking for a memory in Photos, only to find work shots, receipts, and reference images first? Memories in your gallery. Work records in TagCamera. Tag as you shoot, filter by tags later—and optionally keep shots out of the system library. #1 Create tags Preset seasons, product types, clients—whatever you need. #2 Sticky tags in the viewfinder Select tags once; every shot inherits them until you change them. Filter the in-app gallery by multiple tags. #3 Isolate work photos (optional) Turn off “Save to System Photo Library” and shots stay in the app only. Clearing the app gallery never deletes Camera Roll photos. Built for retail displays, field notes, resellers, and anyone who wants work and life photos apart.

Take a photo and it lands in the right album. No more digging through thousands of shots to file them later. SHOOT INTO ANY ALBUM • Tap the camera button on an album and every photo you take is saved straight into it. • Photos keep their full EXIF details: phone model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and capture time, saved as HEIC. • Optionally save where each photo was taken. FIND ANY MONTH • Albums are grouped by month, with the capture date and time on every thumbnail. • Step through one month at a time, or pick a start and end month. • Show only photos, videos or screenshots, with a count for each. SELECT A WHOLE ROW IN ONE SWIPE • Swipe across your photos to select many at once, just like in the Photos app. The grid scrolls for you at the edge. • Select a whole month with one tap. • Add your selection to an album, remove it from the album, or delete it. ALBUM NAMES MADE ON DEVICE • When you create an album, Apple Intelligence looks at your selected photos and suggests three names, with the dates in front. • Photos are analyzed on your iPhone. If they have a location, the coordinates are sent to Apple Maps to look up place names. • Name suggestions require iOS 27 and an iPhone with Apple Intelligence turned on. DATE STAMPS • Stamp the date and time onto new photos in one of four styles: Retro, Modern, Tech or Cute. KEEP IT TIDY • See at a glance how many of your albums each photo is in, or spot photos that aren't in any album. • Hide albums you don't use, and reorder the rest by name, by size or by hand. • Create albums with Siri or the Shortcuts app. • Available in English and Traditional Chinese. SortCam works with the albums already in your Photos library. Adding a photo to an album never makes a copy, and deleting an album keeps its photos.
