Read full descriptionHide full description
TagShot is a camera app that saves photos and videos straight into the folder you choose at the moment you capture them. Start shooting directly from a category card. Pick a folder first, then shoot. TagShot automatically sorts signs, receipts, work records, fitness progress, family photos, ideas, places, and reference images from the start. You can import existing photos, keep notes, date, time, and location, move photos between folders, customize folder names and colors, capture quickly from the Lock Screen widget, and protect your gallery with Gallery Lock. Use up to 3 folders for free. TagShot Lifetime unlocks folder limits, import, moving, custom colors, and Gallery Lock. Try the optional hands-on tutorial and restart it anytime from Settings.
strix!
Read full descriptionHide full description
strix turns a photo into a stream of colour. Drag across the image and the pixels behind your subject stretch out and melt away, while the subject itself stays sharp. It finds the subject on its own. No masking, no lasso, no cutting it out by hand. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a photo โ recent shots appear right inside the app, or take a new one 2. Drag across it. The direction you drag is the direction the pixels flow 3. Share it, or save it to your photos Drag in a straight line, or switch to curve and draw the path yourself. Pull the effect out from both sides at once. Press and hold the eye to check the original at any time. TUNE IT Seven sliders, if you want them: strength, wave, wave cycles, jitter, fade, chromatic aberration, and start offset. Or ignore all of it and just drag. YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS strix has no account, no server, and no analytics. Every pixel is processed on your iPhone's GPU, and subject detection runs on device too. Your photos are never uploaded anywhere. We could not look at them if we wanted to. STRIX PRO strix is free, and shows a full-screen ad when you export your image. strix Pro removes those ads for a single payment. It is not a subscription โ buy it once and restore it any time with the same Apple Account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: strix! at none against TagShot's 1. TagShot's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
