Keep work and life photos apart.
PhotoPots puts your photos into separate pots — work in one, life in another. Sort what's already in your Camera Roll, or capture straight into a pot and skip the Camera Roll entirely.
Free · 25 sorts a week · iPhone, iPad & Mac
Try it. Drag each photo into its pot — or tap a photo, then tap a pot.
Six photos. Three pots. A few seconds.
Work photos don't belong in your Memories.
One Camera Roll holds everything — and it shows up at the worst times.
Your Memories slideshow, sponsored by receipts
Your phone builds a lovely montage of your year — and right between the birthday and the beach, there's a photo of a hardware-store receipt. Work photos follow you home, into every slideshow and suggestion.
The job photo that vanished into a chat thread
You know you took it. It might be in a message, an email, or somewhere in 8,000 Camera Roll photos. When work photos have no home of their own, finding one is archaeology.
Two ways to keep photos apart
Clean up what's already there, and stop the pile from growing.
Sort what's already there
Pick photos from your Camera Roll and drop them into a pot. Sorting moves the original — it's removed from your Camera Roll, not just hidden in an album. Twenty minutes on the couch and your roll is yours again.
Capture straight into a pot
Snap a photo with the in-app camera and choose a pot. It lands there directly and never touches your Camera Roll. Work shots start separated — there's nothing to clean up later.
Small app. Serious separation.
Everything here exists to keep work photos findable and personal photos personal.
-
Custom pots
Name them, color them, make as many as you need. "Job — Miller St", "Rentals", "Family". Your pots, your call.
-
GPS metadata preserved
Sorting never strips location data. The photo of the site stays pinned to the site — useful when a client asks "where was this taken?"
-
OCR search
Search the words inside your photos. Type "invoice" or a serial number and get the exact receipt or nameplate, not 400 maybes.
-
One-tap share
Send a job photo to a client, a receipt to your accountant, a class photo to a parent — from the pot, in one tap, anywhere.
-
Crop without losing metadata
Crop out the messy background, straighten the whiteboard. Every byte of metadata — GPS included — stays right where it was.
-
iCloud sync
Sort on your phone at the job site, find it on your Mac at the desk. Pots sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your iCloud.
-
Batch screenshot triage
Screenshots pile up fast. Review them in a batch: keep the useful ones in a pot, clear the rest. Done in minutes.
-
Widget & share extension
A home-screen widget jumps you straight into a pot. The share extension sends photos from any app into one — no detours.
Built for people who work with photos
If photos are how you communicate at work, your Camera Roll shouldn't be the filing cabinet.
-
Contractors
Snap progress photos on site — they land in the job pot, GPS-stamped, ready to send the client. Not next to your kid's birthday.
-
Real estate agents
One pot per listing. Walkthrough shots stay out of your family album and findable by address.
-
Inspectors
Defect photos keep their location data and stay searchable, so the report practically writes its own captions.
-
Healthcare workers
Reference photos for the shift live in a work pot — separate from everything personal, gone from your roll.
-
Teachers
Whiteboard snapshots and field-trip photos go in the class pot, not between vacation pics.
-
Field technicians
Serial numbers and meter reads, searchable by the text in the photo. "Unit 4472" finds the shot instantly.

Fair questions
Do sorted photos really leave my Camera Roll?
Yes. Sorting moves the original photo into the pot — it is removed from your Camera Roll, not just hidden in an album. Your Camera Roll stays personal, and your pots hold the rest.
Do photos taken with the in-app camera touch my Camera Roll?
No. When you capture straight into a pot, the photo is saved directly into that pot and never appears in your Camera Roll at all.
Will I lose GPS location or other metadata?
No. PhotoPots preserves your photo metadata, including GPS location, even when you crop or edit a photo inside a pot.
Can I share or move a photo out of a pot?
Yes. Any photo in a pot can be shared anywhere with one tap — messages, email, or back to your Camera Roll if you want it there.
How does PhotoPots sync across my devices?
PhotoPots syncs your pots through your iCloud account, so the same pots and photos appear on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. There are no PhotoPots servers and no accounts to create.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free gives you 25 sorts a week. Pro removes the limit, so you can sort as many photos as you like. That is the only difference.
