SideCam: Private Camera
Custom shutters, private album
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A private camera for photos that don’t need to stay in your main photo library.
Do temporary reference photos such as parking spots, Wi-Fi passwords, receipts, and documents keep piling up in Photos?
Pictures taken with SideCam are stored in its dedicated album by default. Save only the photos you need to your photo library or share them with others.
Shutters made for you
Create different shutters for different types of photos.
• Save to Photos
• Silent capture
• Show photo after capture
• Open the memo keyboard
• Automatically delete photos after a set time
SideCam includes Default, Business, 24 Hours, Parking, Wi-Fi, Document, and Receipt shutters. Customize their names, emojis, and capture options to fit your needs.
Photos and notes together
Add notes to each photo and keep important details close at hand.
The Parking and Wi-Fi shutters can recognize text in photos and automatically organize useful details, such as parking locations and Wi-Fi information, into notes.
Keep photos only as long as needed
Set a retention period for each shutter and automatically delete photos after a chosen amount of time.
Keep temporary photos only while they’re useful and spend less time cleaning up old images.
