About Photolog Visual Diary
Instead of burying everything in one giant camera roll, Photolog lets you capture straight into albums. A separate album for each thing you're tracking. Snap a photo or video and it lands exactly where it belongs. CAPTURE FIRST • Fast, native camera for photo and video is ready the moment you open the app • Capture directly into the album you choose • A live filmstrip of your latest shots ORGANIZE INTO ALBUMS • One album per project, plant, place, or idea • Rename, pin, and reorder the albums you use most • Move items between albums anytime • Import existing photos and videos from your library FIND ANYTHING • On-device text recognition reads the words in your photos, so you can search them • Automatic tags and fast search • An optional map of where your photos were taken KEEP NOTES • Add a note to any photo or video • See capture date, location, and details at a glance PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works fully offline — no account required • iCloud sync is optional and off by default; your media stays in your private iCloud • Sign in with Apple only if you want to back up and sync across devices • Analytics are opt-in and never include your photos, notes, or locations Whether you're documenting a DIY build, watching a plant grow, logging birds, keeping a recipe collection, or just want a tidier way to remember things, Photolog turns your camera into a visual diary that's actually organized.
What’s new
Version 1.4.1 · Updated August 19, 2026
Sharper photos, especially up close. The camera now switches lenses automatically, so close-up shots (receipts, notes, small things) come out crisp. Focus also recovers on its own after you tap to focus, and photos capture at full resolution with the highest quality pipeline. Also fixed: The photo viewer no longer gets stuck after returning to the app. Tapping an album widget now always opens the camera, even if a photo was left open.
