Snoof is a camera app where your photos disappear on their own. ■ Sound familiar? - A whiteboard photo you needed for a day, still there - A receipt photo you forgot to delete - The photos that matter, buried under the ones that don't ■ It clears itself out - Photos and videos stay inside Snoof, out of your camera roll - Deleted automatically after your retention period, with a reminder the day before - Save anything worth keeping to the Photos app - See space used and saved in the gallery - Set a storage limit; anything over it is deleted automatically ■ Easy to find until it goes - Search by the text (OCR) and subjects in your photos - Capture locations are recorded, and viewable on a map - Barcodes and QR codes are read, and links open in your browser - Point the camera to read text and codes on the spot - "Show for Now" keeps a photo on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (up to 8 hours) ■ Shooting - Self-timer (3, 5 or 10 seconds) - Brightness in five steps - Aspect ratio: 4:3, 16:9 or 1:1 - Filters (beauty, smooth, food, mono, sepia, vivid, warm, cool), for video too - Dual Capture: film with the front and back cameras at once (video, supported devices) - Switches to the ultra-wide lens up close (supported devices) - Live Photos - AE/AF lock (press and hold) - Auto-straighten documents and whiteboards, and share them as a PDF - Shutter with the volume buttons - Photo format: JPEG or HEIF ■ Tidying up - Edit photos (crop, rotate, resize, markup, text, emoji, freehand, blur, brightness, filters, background removal); the original stays - Edit videos (trim, remove audio, rotate, crop), or save a frame as a photo - Combine photos side by side or stacked (screenshots are joined without overlaps) - Swipe to select several, then delete or extend them together - Import through the share sheet (up to 10 photos or 5 videos) - Bring in screenshots and screen recordings, and filter to see just them ■ Always at hand, never on show - Launch from a widget, the Lock Screen or Control Center - Lock the app with Face ID or your passcode - Snoof never reads your camera roll - No account needed.
