In short

AltCam: Folder Camera is a photo and video app that lets you pick a destination folder before shooting, so captures are filed right away and kept out of the system camera roll and shared albums. It suits people who want an organized gallery, work receipts kept separate from personal shots, and manual camera controls. It stands out for its folder-first capture, with photos stored in a dedicated local library.
