A how-to. A shift plan. A menu. Anything that is a row of photos with a note beside each one — EffortlessShot makes it on the spot. Tap a slot and the camera opens; the photo lands in that slot. Give each one a title and a description, so whoever reads it later knows what they are looking at. WHAT PEOPLE MAKE WITH IT - Step-by-step work instructions, in the order you shot them - Site records and progress logs - Menus and product lists: photo, name, price, sold-out greyed out - Repair and assembly records - Shopping and stock lists WHAT IT DOES - Tap a slot to shoot. Grids of 2 to 5 columns - A title and description per photo, shown in full — made to be printed - Continuous shooting: it keeps going until you close the camera - Insert a photo between two others; drag to reorder - Group consecutive photos under a heading, with a colour of your choice - Share a whole folder as a PDF (AirDrop, mail, Files) - A short note per photo for a price or a duration, right-aligned so it reads as a table - Labels such as "Popular" or "New", shared across every folder - Grey out a sold-out photo — it is kept, and one tap brings it back - Bring in screenshots (armed slot, share sheet, or pick from a list) - Save selected photos back to your camera roll YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE Photos and the text you write are stored only on your device. No account is needed, and it all works in airplane mode. FREE, AND PREMIUM Everything above works for free — shooting, captions, groups, PDF sharing. You get two folders, enough to keep "work" and "shop" apart. Premium (bought once, no subscription) adds - As many folders as you like, one per job or per shop - No ads Nothing you have already shot is taken away if you never buy it.
