ScrapCam Temporary Camera vs Knurl Camera

ScrapCam is a private camera for temporary photos. Capture parking spots, receipts, pickup codes, notes, and whiteboards without filling your main photo library. Some photos are only useful for a few minutes. They should not stay in your camera roll for years. Why ScrapCam? Temporary camera, separate from Photos Capture short-lived information into ScrapCam instead of your main photo library. Keep your camera roll for memories, not clutter. Auto delete temporary photos Choose 2 hours, 24 hours, or keep forever. ScrapCam can clean up expired photos automatically, so you do not need to sort them later. Built for parking and quick records Save parking spots, receipts, pickup codes, delivery labels, whiteboards, and temporary notes. ScrapCam also supports on-device parking recognition. Private by design Protect your scrap box with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. Processing stays on device. Fast iOS access Use widgets, Lock Screen entry points, Control Center, Shortcuts, Live Activities, and Camera Control on supported iPhone models. Use ScrapCam when a photo is useful now, but should not live in your library forever.

Knurl is a camera for people who would rather develop the photo themselves. It captures true Bayer RAW: the sensor's own mosaic, written straight to a DNG with none of the computational photography that normally happens on the way. No multi-frame fusion, no tone curve, no sharpening. What lands in your library is undeveloped data with all of its latitude intact, ready for Lightroom or Photos to interpret however you like. THE CONTROLS ARE THE POINT A mode wheel you turn, with the real designations: P for program, Tv for shutter priority, Sv for ISO priority, M for full manual. Every position clicks. ISO and shutter move in thirds of a stop along the standard photographic ladders, on a dial that detents at every rung. Whole stops click harder than thirds, so you can count them by feel without looking. The ends of each ladder are the sensor's genuine limits rather than round numbers, which means base ISO, the cleanest the sensor gets, is actually reachable. Exposure compensation on its own scale, in thirds, with a firmer detent at zero. In manual it becomes the meter, because compensation has nothing left to act on when both controls are already fixed. An AF/MF switch and a focus ring you turn like a ring: relative, so touching it never jumps focus, and marked near to far rather than in invented distances. Three lenses, each at its native focal length, read from the hardware. HONEST ABOUT ITSELF Bayer RAW is 12 MP and does not permit zoom. The 48 MP path would mean Apple ProRAW, which is demosaiced and partially processed, so Knurl does not offer it. When the exposure you have asked for is not achievable, it says so rather than pretending. Your shots go to a Knurl album you can browse in the app, pinch to zoom, and swipe through. Volume buttons fire the shutter. Add the Control to your Action Button, Lock Screen or Control Center to open it without unlocking.
