Description

Choose a folder. Take your photos. Keep every shot in its place.

Folder Camera is a native Android camera for organizing photos as you capture them. Choose a base directory with Android's folder picker, then enter or select a relative path before shooting. Nested folders, ordinary spaces and Unicode names are supported.

• Capture JPEG photos directly into the folder you confirmed
• Find destinations using a searchable folder tree
• Change folders between sessions without replacing existing photos
• Use pinch or slider zoom and Off, Auto, Flash or Always-on light modes when supported by your camera
• Preview, share and export photos through Android
• Keep saved photos accessible to other apps and after uninstall
• Capture without a PC, account or internet connection

Optional LAN transfer
Pair with the free, open-source desktop receiver to send copies directly to your PC over certificate-verified HTTPS. Sync is off by default. Pending transfers survive temporary connection failures and keep their original destination. The first receiver startup automatically selects a private LAN address and shows a pairing QR.

Privacy and control
No advertising, analytics or developer-operated photo server. No broad all-files access. You choose the Android and PC folders independently. The app is GPL-3.0-or-later open-source software; source code and support are available through the project website.

The optional desktop receiver is available for Linux, Windows and macOS, with its runtime and certificate generation included. Optional PC uploads are not required for local capture. Background upload timing is controlled by Android. Recover/export private staging before uninstalling; private app metadata and pairing credentials do not survive uninstall.

What’s new (1.0.3)

Get the desktop receiver directly from Settings → PC sync. The download page offers free Windows, macOS and Linux installers, with a brief explanation of how to pair your computer.
