TagShot is a camera app that organizes photos and videos into the folder you choose the moment you capture them. Most photos are taken first, found later, and organized even later. TagShot changes that flow. Choose a folder before shooting, then capture. Your photos and videos are automatically sorted into the selected folder. Use it for signs, posters, work records, fitness progress, child growth records, family photos, receipts, ideas, places, and reference images. Anything youβll need to find again later can be saved in the right place from the start. Over time, youβll spend less time scrolling through your gallery wondering, βWhere was that photo?β You can also import photos youβve already taken and place them into folders. Each photo can keep notes, date, time, and location together. Customize folder names and colors your way, and start capturing quickly from the Lock Screen widget. Key Features - Photo and video camera with folder selection before capture - Automatic folder sorting the moment you shoot - Gallery organized by folder - Import existing photos - Notes, date, time, and location for each photo - Move selected photos to another folder - Customize folder names and colors - Quick capture from the Lock Screen widget - Gallery Lock - Use up to 3 folders for free For the price of one coffee Unlock folder limits with TagShot Lifetime, and get existing photo import, folder moving, custom colors, and Gallery Lock.
