Instead of burying everything in one giant camera roll, Photolog lets you capture straight into albums. A separate album for each thing you're tracking. Snap a photo or video and it lands exactly where it belongs. CAPTURE FIRST • Fast, native camera for photo and video is ready the moment you open the app • Capture directly into the album you choose • A live filmstrip of your latest shots ORGANIZE INTO ALBUMS • One album per project, plant, place, or idea • Rename, pin, and reorder the albums you use most • Move items between albums anytime • Import existing photos and videos from your library FIND ANYTHING • On-device text recognition reads the words in your photos, so you can search them • Automatic tags and fast search • An optional map of where your photos were taken KEEP NOTES • Add a note to any photo or video • See capture date, location, and details at a glance PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works fully offline — no account required • iCloud sync is optional and off by default; your media stays in your private iCloud • Sign in with Apple only if you want to back up and sync across devices • Analytics are opt-in and never include your photos, notes, or locations Whether you're documenting a DIY build, watching a plant grow, logging birds, keeping a recipe collection, or just want a tidier way to remember things, Photolog turns your camera into a visual diary that's actually organized.
