Description
Utiful is the photo filing system Apple forgot to build. As featured in The Wall Street Journal.
Are you frustrated that the Apple Photos app mixes everything—and won't let you create real order?
Unlike Apple Photos and other photo apps, Utiful lets you:
• Move photos out of your camera roll and outside of the main gallery—finally!
• Sort your photos into separate categories—work, hobbies, personal, and more.
• Keep utility photos like documents, receipts, and IDs out of your main gallery.
• Keep your main gallery clean and tidy.
How Utiful Works:
• Use Utiful to move photos out of your camera roll and save them to Utiful folders.
• The photos are removed from the camera roll but kept in your Utiful folders.
• Your Utiful folders are automatically backed up to your iCloud Backup.
• The Utiful sync feature lets you access your folders across all your iOS devices.
Utiful’s further unique features include:
• Save photos to Utiful folders straight from the Photos app.
• Take photos with the folder camera that save directly to the folder.
• Manually rearrange photos in a folder—just the way you like.
• Protect your Utiful folders with a passcode lock (Touch ID and Face ID supported).
• Import/export photo folders from/to computer, cloud storage, external hard drives, also wirelessly via AirDrop.
Who Uses Utiful:
• Professionals & freelancers keeping work photos separate from personal ones
• Contractors & service providers managing before/after project pictures
• Doctors & lawyers organizing reference photos, evidence, and case documentation
• Hobbyists & creatives storing inspiration, artwork, and craft ideas
• Everyday users organizing screenshots, receipts, IDs, and notes by category as well as reference pictures such as haircuts, clothes, fitness tracking, songs identified with Shazam etc.
Quick Start Guide:
1. Open Utiful, tap "Add Photos", select photos from the camera roll and tap "Move".
2. Or, while in the Photos app, select photos, tap Share and choose "Save to Utiful".
All photo, video, GIF, and RAW formats are supported. Original image quality & metadata are preserved.
The full feature list, User’s Manual, and tutorial videos are available anytime in the app’s settings.
