PhotoKip is a work camera app that keeps work photos and videos separate from personal photos. Choose a Collection before you shoot, and each capture is saved there right away. Browse, add notes, and bring in work photos from the Photos app and other apps, too. 1. Take work photos and videos separately Use your regular camera for everyday moments and PhotoKip for work. Switch between photo and video to record sites or tasks. Saved items stay in PhotoKip and aren't automatically added to the Photos app. 2. Each capture saves to the Collection you choose Pick the Collection at the top of the camera screen. You can choose a Collection in any Space or create a new one. Every photo and video you capture is saved to the selected Collection immediately, so there's nothing to sort afterward. Switch Collections between shots, and new captures go to the new one. 3. Organize with Spaces and Collections A Space groups a site or project; Collections hold related photos and videos within it, like photo folders. In an “Austin 2-Bed Condo” Space, use “Cabinetry,” “Bath & Tile,” “Electrical,” and “Doors & Hardware” Collections. Keep other sites in separate Spaces. Cover photos and item counts help you browse Collections. 4. Browse photos and add notes View a Collection's photos and videos together in a grid or by date. Open photos for a closer look and play videos. Add notes such as “Recheck door alignment and finish” or “Check drawer slide operation.” A note icon marks annotated items in the list. Search notes you've written on photos and videos, plus Collection names and descriptions. Try a word from a note, such as “drawer.” 5. Import existing work photos Bring site photos, screenshots, and downloaded floor plan images from the Photos app. Choose an album, then add items to a Collection or skip them. Review your choices before applying them, and choose whether to keep or delete the originals of imported photos. Items you're not ready to sort can go to Uncategorized. Each album shows its total, imported, skipped, and remaining items, plus progress to help you pick up where you left off. You can also select photos in other apps and share them to PhotoKip. Keep reference images alongside your own captures. 6. Make your work gallery your own Choose a background for each Space, from Interior Renovation and Boiler Service Visit to Product Photo Studio and Auto Repair Bay. Change theme colors, fonts, and the app icon to suit your style. Some customization options require Premium. 7. Share photos and export albums Select photos and videos in PhotoKip to share through messaging or email apps. Export a Collection as an album to the Photos app for use in other apps. 8. No account. Photos stay on your device Get started without signing up or logging in. Photos, videos, collection details, and notes stay on your device and aren't uploaded to PhotoKip servers. View saved items even offline. Turn on iCloud sync to see your items on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with Apple silicon signed in to the same iCloud account. Uploading new items and edits requires Premium. Sync isn't a backup, so deleting an item on one device removes it from the others. Items that haven't synced may be lost if you uninstall the app. Export photos and videos you want to keep to the Photos app or back them up elsewhere first. 9. Free storage and lifetime Premium • Free use: Save up to 50 photos and videos in total across all collections and spaces, excluding Uncategorized. Create as many collections as you like. No ads appear at the top of Home. • Temporary unlock: The photo and video limit is lifted for 5 minutes after the interstitial ad closes, or after a loading/display failure. Existing benefits keep their original expiry. Saved items remain afterward. • Premium: A single purchase gives you lifetime access with no limit on the number of photos and videos you save. Keep today's work photos separate with PhotoKip.

About

ToFolder

Read full description

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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ToFolder at none against PhotoKip's shown. PhotoKip's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
