OutVault vs ToFolder

Your camera. Your rules. Zero compromise. OutVault is a professional-grade private camera that routes every photo and video directly into an encrypted, Face ID-protected vault on your device -- completely bypassing iOS Photos. The moment you press the shutter, your media is gone from the camera pipeline and locked inside your sandbox. Nothing ever touches your Camera Roll. WHY OUTVAULT? Every other camera app eventually routes through iOS Photos. OutVault doesn't. It never calls a single Photos library API. Your media lives exclusively in a sandboxed vault, protected by NSFileProtectionComplete -- the same encryption tier iOS uses for health records and banking data. PRIVATE BY DESIGN * Captures photos and videos directly into the app sandbox * iOS Photos library is never touched -- not even for a millisecond * Face ID / Passcode lock on every launch and after backgrounding * NSFileProtectionComplete encryption -- files inaccessible while locked * No account, no sign-in, no third-party cloud * Disguise OutVault's Home Screen icon as Calculator, Notes, Weather, or Calendar * Share only when you choose -- via the standard iOS share sheet * Bring existing media in -- import from your Photos library or Files, or share directly from any app via the iOS share sheet CLEAN, FOCUSED GALLERY * Full-resolution photo and video capture with a custom camera UI * Thumbnail grid with smooth fade-in previews * Swipeable full-screen detail view with pinch-to-zoom and smooth zoom transitions * Long-press context menu for quick share or delete * Drag or tap to select multiple photos or videos, then delete them in bulk * Instant thumbnail generation -- no waiting OUTVAULT PREMIUM * Edit capture date, add a note and author to any photo or video * Strip EXIF metadata automatically before sharing * Auto-delete photos and videos on a schedule you set * Decoy Vault -- a second PIN opens a separate, harmless-looking gallery while your real vault stays completely hidden * Burn a tamper-evident timestamp into your photos, so the date and time become part of the image itself * One-time lifetime purchase -- no subscription, ever WHO IS OUTVAULT FOR? Built for professionals who understand that the safest file is one that never ends up where it shouldn't: - Journalists documenting sensitive sources or scenes - Attorneys photographing privileged case evidence - Healthcare professionals capturing patient-related visuals - Privacy-conscious users tired of Photos syncing everything to iCloud SECURITY DETAILS * Storage path: Application Support/assets/ (outside Photos.app reach) * File protection: NSFileProtectionComplete on every asset * Authentication: LocalAuthentication (Face ID / Passcode) * Sharing: Standard UIActivityViewController -- you control what leaves No ads. No tracking of your media. No surprises.

Photograph your work and the pictures land where they belong. ToFolder is a camera that saves into folders you name. Create "Site A", "Damage Report", "Invoices" — pick one, and everything you shoot goes there, not into an endless camera roll mixed with everything personal. WHY IT EXISTS Photograph a site, damage, a delivery, a handover, and three things go wrong. The pictures get lost among your personal photos. Sending them means selecting dozens by hand. And messaging apps strip out the date and location, so what was proof stops being proof. CAPTURE INTO A FOLDER Choose a folder before you shoot. Photos stay inside the app unless you switch on saving to your camera roll. A REAL CAMERA • Photo and video, front and rear • Night mode for low light • Flash, timer, exposure, filters, aspect ratio • Zoom, including digital zoom that crops without re-compressing • Photo quality: High, Medium or Low DATE AND LOCATION, TWO WAYS Save Location in Photo Info writes the GPS coordinates inside the file, in the standard metadata. The picture stays clean — tap the date in the viewer to see where it was taken. Works for videos too. Burn Date & Location onto Photo paints them permanently into the image, for when the photo must travel through an app that deletes file metadata. The stamp survives because it is the picture. A clean archive copy and a stamped proof copy are different jobs. Most apps offer one; ToFolder offers both. FOLDERS YOU CAN MANAGE • Create, rename and delete folders • Move photos and videos between folders • Select several folders at once to export or delete them together • Search folders by name MORE THAN PHOTOS • Import documents — PDFs and other files — from another app • Save links with a title you choose • Rename any document or link later, from the gallery FIND THINGS AGAIN Search folders by name, and links and documents inside a folder. The search understands how people actually type — accents, diacritics and letter variants all match. THE GALLERY Photos grouped by date. Pinch to zoom, with edge-aware sharpening so deep zoom stays crisp. Photo info shows name, date, dimensions, size and location. EXPORT A WHOLE FOLDER AS ONE FILE Long-press a folder and export it as a ZIP, then send it wherever you like. One file instead of ninety attachments, and the photos keep their original quality and metadata — a ZIP is a container, not a re-encoder. Anyone with ToFolder can restore that archive and get the folders and photos back as they were, without overwriting anything. This is also your way out — your photos are never locked inside the app. YOUR LANGUAGE English, Arabic, Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese. WHERE YOUR DATA LIVES Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no server that receives your photos. Location is only read when you turn that option on, and it is written into your own files. FREE AND PRO ToFolder has a permanently free tier — not a trial, not a countdown. Free includes the complete camera with every mode, up to 3 folders, 3 saved links and 3 ZIP exports, plus search, the gallery, rename, document import and location in photo info. Pro is a one-time purchase — lifetime. It permanently unlocks every local feature: unlimited folders, links and documents, unlimited ZIP export, exporting several folders at once, moving photos between folders, and the date and GPS stamp. No subscription, nothing renews. WHO IT IS FOR Contractors documenting progress and defects. Delivery drivers recording handovers and damage. Claims assessors. Property managers. Field technicians. And anyone who has scrolled through six months of camera roll looking for one photo of one invoice.
