About this app

Utility Cam - Smart Temporary Media Storage

Take temporary photos and videos that automatically delete themselves after a set time. Perfect for parking spots, shopping lists, temporary receipts, event info, quick reminders, or anything you need briefly but don't want cluttering your gallery forever.

WHY UTILITY CAM?

Your gallery is overflowing with photos you only needed temporarily - parking locations, store hours, product labels, reminder notes, quick reference shots, or temporary videos. Utility Cam solves this by automatically deleting these utility media after you're done with them, keeping your main gallery clean and organised.

Add Context: Optionally add descriptions like "Parking Spot: Level 4"
