Photos arrive here automatically from the SNAP tab, and manually from the Clean Up tab when you move or copy Camera Roll photos. Each capture intent files photos to its default folder. Browse, filter, search, and act on everything you've captured.
Smart Folders
Quick access to recent captures across all folders.
All Folders
Photos auto-file based on capture intent. Move photos between folders anytime.
Filters
Narrow any folder by time period, location, or both. Tap the filter icon in any folder's toolbar.
Time Period
Filter to Today, Yesterday, Last Week, or Last Month. See only what's recent and relevant.
Location
Filter by town or city where photos were captured. Includes a "No Location" option for photos without GPS data.
Search
Find any photo across all folders instantly.
Search finds everything
Search matches across notes, OCR text, AI analysis, barcodes, auto-tags, and folder names. Type "receipt" to find all receipts. Type a vendor name to find that specific one.
Search works on filtered results too — apply a filter first, then search within it.
The Reference Folder
Your important documents, always at your fingertips.
Essentials Wallet
The top of the Reference folder shows labeled slots for the documents you carry everywhere: Driver's License, Health Insurance Card, and Passport. Empty slots show a dashed placeholder inviting you to fill them. Filled slots show a thumbnail you can tap to view the full document.
Assign multiple people — keep your family's IDs organized in one place. Each document type supports front and back sides.
Auto-Detection
When you first open Reference after updating, the app scans your existing photos for driver's licenses, passports, and insurance cards using on-device OCR text. It suggests which slot each document belongs to — just confirm with a tap.
Pin from Anywhere
Open any Reference photo's detail view and tap Pin as Essential to assign it to a wallet slot. Unpin anytime to return it to the regular grid. The wallet section is collapsible if you prefer to see only the photo grid.
The Contacts Folder
Your business cards, organized like an address book.
Contact List View
Toggle between the photo grid and an alphabetical contact list using the toolbar button. The list view shows each contact's name, company, and thumbnail — grouped by first letter with section headers, just like the iOS Contacts app.
Names are extracted automatically from AI analysis, card titles, or OCR text. No extra AI credits needed.
Search and Filter
Search works in list view too — type a name, company, or city to narrow results instantly. Combine with time and location filters for precise lookups like "contacts from last week in Boston."
The Food Folder
The Food folder has special nutrition features.
Example photos are AI-generated
Daily nutrition banner
A banner at the top of the Food folder shows your total calories and carbs for today. Updated as you capture meals throughout the day.
Per-photo calorie overlay
Each food photo shows its estimated calories and carbs as a thumbnail overlay. Browse your meals at a glance without opening each one.
The Slides Folder
The Slides folder has batch summarization and export features.
Summarize Slides
Captured an entire presentation? Tap the sparkles button in the toolbar to summarize every slide in the folder. AI reads the OCR text from each slide and produces a structured summary with:
- Event Summary — 2-3 sentence overview of the presentation
- Key Topics Covered — organized by logical flow
- Key Takeaways — the important points distilled
- Action Items / Follow-ups — what to do next
- Notable Details — data points, statistics, names, references
You can also summarize just the slides from a single day using the sparkles button on any date header, or select specific slides and summarize only those.
Batch Processing
The summarizer adapts to deck size:
- Up to 30 slides — single AI pass, one credit
- 31-50 slides — single pass with a confirmation prompt
- 50+ slides — automatically split into batches of ~25, each batch summarized separately, then a final synthesis pass merges everything into one unified summary
One AI credit per batch. Progress updates show which batch is being processed.
Summary Output
The finished summary is saved as an image card in your Slides folder, backdated to appear at the top of the relevant date group. The full summary text is stored in the photo's notes — tap the card to read it. You can also copy the summary to your clipboard or share it via the standard share sheet.
Export OCR Text
Copy all extracted text from every slide to your clipboard in one tap. Paste into your notes app, email, or document for reference — no AI credit needed.
Zoom Memory
The camera remembers your zoom level for Slide captures. Set it once for the projector distance and every subsequent slide photo uses the same framing — no re-adjusting between shots.
Event Groups
Toggle the toolbar button to switch from the chronological grid to an event-grouped view. Slides are automatically clustered into conferences and events based on when they were captured — a gap of more than 48 hours starts a new event.
Each event shows its name (detected from slide text), date range, location, and slide count. Tap to drill into that event's slides, where Summarize and Export OCR work on just that event.
Smart Event Labels
The app recognizes conference names from your slide text — PDA Week, Bioprocessing Summit, MIT programs, and more. When it can't find a conference name, it falls back to the city and date (e.g., "Barcelona, Mar 2026"). No AI credits needed — event detection uses on-device OCR text you already have.
Show Archived
Hide completed items without deleting
Mark any photo as "archived" to remove it from the default folder view. The photo stays in its folder — it's just hidden. Toggle "Show archived photos" at the top of any folder view to see archived items again, or unarchive them to bring them back.
Custom Folders
Create folders in the Files app
Open the Files app, navigate to iCloud Drive, and create a new folder inside the Unmuck directory. It appears automatically in the app. Custom folders work just like built-in ones — you can move photos into them and browse their contents.
