Your bird life list may already be hiding in your camera roll. Feather Trove privately searches the photo library you already have, finds likely bird photos, and suggests species on your iPhone. No choosing photos one at a time. No uploading them to an identification server. With Feather Trove, you can: • Scan your photo library for likely bird photos • Review on-device species suggestions and make the final call • Build a personal life list from years of forgotten sightings • Explore where your bird photos were taken on a private map • Group sightings into bird walks • Confirm, correct, or remove uncertain matches • Create and share polished bird cards • Export your life list as a CSV file Bird detection and species suggestions run on device. Photo dates and locations can refine suggestions locally when available. Original images remain under Apple Photos permissions, and Feather Trove does not upload your photos. Species suggestions may be incorrect and should be reviewed. Subscription note: Most Feather Trove functionality requires an active subscription. Without a subscription, you can view only four summary counts: detected species, photos, mapped photos, and photos needing human review when the classifier cannot decide between two likely bird species. Feather Trove offers weekly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment begins when you confirm your purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.

About

ExifGone

Features
Read full description

ExifGone helps you understand what private metadata is stored in a photo and create a cleaned copy before sharing it. • Inspect EXIF, location, device, date, authorship, description, XMP, IPTC, and supported C2PA metadata. • See whether each field came from EXIF, XMP, IPTC-IIM, Photoshop, PNG, or C2PA. • Filter a batch to the photos that contain location data and swipe through photo details. • Use Full Privacy, Location, Custom, or reusable named cleaning profiles. • See a before-and-after report of what was removed. • Share privacy-safe cleaning reports as readable text or JSON. • Clean in one tap with Quick Clean and an automatic next action. • Import and save batches with Photos or Files. • Use saved profiles in the app, system share sheet, and Shortcuts. • Customize cleaned-copy filenames and optional batch numbering. • Work comfortably on iPad with an adaptive list-detail layout and responsive settings. • Clean JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, and WebP while keeping compressed image data unchanged. • Process everything locally, without accounts, analytics, ads, or uploads. ExifGone removes metadata containers. It does not claim to detect or remove SynthID or other watermarks encoded directly in image pixels.
