About TempPix: Temporary Camera
Never clutter your Camera Roll with temporary snaps again. How many times have you taken a photo of a parking meter, coffee receipt, Wi-Fi password, or parcel locker code — only for it to stay in your photo library forever, crowding out precious memories and eating up iCloud storage? TempPix is the smart, privacy-first camera designed specifically for throwaway moments. Take a snap, and let TempPix handle the rest: it automatically vanishes after 21 days (or your custom timer). KEY FEATURES: [1] TEMPORARY PHOTO VAULT Every photo taken in TempPix lives in its own sandboxed vault — completely separate from your main Apple Photos library. [2] AUTOMATIC COUNTDOWN & EXPIRY Photos auto-expire after 21 days by default. Set custom timers (1 hour, 3 days, 14 days, or 30 days) for parking tickets, rental car scans, and transit passes. Need to keep one? Tap "Lock" to save it forever. [3] ON-DEVICE VISION OCR TempPix uses Apple Neural Engine Vision to automatically detect receipts, parking permits, and documents — showing instant summary badges and total costs. [4] SMART SWEEP DECLUTTER Already have thousands of old screenshots cluttering your camera roll? Smart Sweep scans your device and safely removes temporary clutter to reclaim storage. [5] SAVE FROM ANY APP Use the iOS Share Sheet in Safari, WhatsApp, or Files to drop screenshots and QR codes directly into TempPix without saving to Photos. [6] HANDS-FREE SIRI & ACTION BUTTON Just say: "Hey Siri, take a temporary photo" for instantaneous capture. Map TempPix to your Action Button or Back Tap for one-touch snaps. [7] BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Experience the adaptive dual-pane canvas on Apple's foldable iPhone Duo — browse your photo vault on the left while inspecting Vision OCR details on the right. [8] 100% PRIVATE & ON-DEVICE No account required. No cloud uploads. No analytics tracking. Your photos never leave your device.
