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.
