Pick an album
Tell Photolog what you’re shooting, once. Or don’t: the Inbox catches anything unassigned.
The camera that files your photos
Take the shot. It’s already sorted.
Photolog is a camera where every photo lands in the right album the moment you shoot it. Pottery class, balcony garden, the cat: one album per topic you track, kept in order without you lifting a finger.
Free · No account needed · Private by design
Your albums
A place for every obsession.
Each topic gets its own album that fills itself. Watch the pottery album grow over a course, the bread album over a winter, the book album over a lifetime.
How it works
01
02
03
Organized at the moment of capture.
Take the shot
A full camera, nothing missing: flash, zoom, lens switching, macro, video. It just happens to know where photos belong.
It’s already sorted
Every shot files itself into the right album: timestamped, mapped, text extracted. No Sunday spent dragging photos into folders.
Albums
One album per topic you track.
Every album has a job. Make one for each thing you photograph again and again, and Photolog keeps it growing in order.
- Inbox collects one-off shots so nothing gets lost
- Counts and covers update themselves as you shoot
- Pin the albums you’re using this week
Home screen widgets
Home screen to filed photo, in one tap.
Put an album on your home screen. Tap the Pottery widget and the camera opens already pointed at Pottery: shoot, done, sorted.
- One widget per album, add as many as you shoot
- The album’s cover is the widget face, always current
- No app icon, no menus, straight into the camera
Your library, your rules
Manage, share, import.
Albums aren’t a one-way street. Bring in old photos, see a project on a map, or hand a whole album to someone else.
- Import from your camera roll straight into an album
- Map view shows where an album happened
- Share an album as one tidy package
On-device intelligence
Get the details, automagically.
Shoot a book cover, a wine label, a receipt. Photolog reads the text right on your iPhone and keeps it with the photo.
- Extracted text you can copy, tap, and search
- Notes for the things a camera can’t see
- 100% on-device, nothing is sent anywhere
Sync & backup
Your iCloud. Your Dropbox. Your photos.
Turn on sync and your albums follow you across devices, stored in your own private iCloud database, not on our servers. We don’t have any. Prefer a second copy elsewhere? Photolog can also back up your albums to your own Dropbox.
- Encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple
- Dropbox backup, one-way, all albums or just some
- Off by default, one toggle each to enable
Privacy
No servers. No ads. No peeking.
Your photos live on your iPhone and, if you choose, in your private iCloud or your own Dropbox. Photolog has no servers, so we couldn’t look at your photos even if we wanted to. Analytics is opt-in and never includes your content.
