SyncAlbum is a shared photo album app for family, get-togethers, your baby's month-by-month photos, and everyday memories. Everyone in an album shoots into the same place, the photos sync to everyone automatically, and at the end you get a story video of the whole thing. It runs entirely on your own iCloud — no account, no signup.

• 📷 What it does (all synced live):
• 🤝 Shared albums — everyone shoots into one album, photos land on every member's phone automatically
• 📸 Built-in camera — captures go straight into the album, no save-then-add
• 💬 Per-photo comments, emoji reactions & u/mentions, with push notifications
• 📖 Journal — a title and story for each day, end-to-end encrypted
• 🎬 Story videos — any album auto-becomes a video scored with your own music
• 🖼️ Full-quality photos — browse a fast preview, the original with EXIF downloads the moment you save
• 🗂️ Custom covers, categories, hide/reorder, per-album mute
• 🔗 Join by QR code or link — owner approves who's in

A — Problem: Sharing a trip or event means everyone shoots separately and nobody ends up with all the photos. Apple's Shared Albums crush every photo to 2048px and strip location and metadata. Google Photos makes everyone sign into a Google account with the photos living on Google's servers.

B — Better than iCloud Shared Albums / Shared Photo Library / Google Photos:

• 🖼️ Full quality, EXIF kept — no 2048px downscale, no metadata stripping
• 📸 Camera-first — shoot straight into the album, not shoot → open Photos → add
• 🧩 Per-album, unlimited — a fresh album for each occasion with whoever's there, not one merged 6-person library
• 🍎 No account — runs on each person's own iCloud, no signup, no Google login
• 🔔 Real per-photo notifications — Apple only notifies you about photos you've already interacted with
• 📖🎬 Journal + auto story video — neither native app does either

C — Cost: Free — unlimited albums, and every person gets 30 free uploads in every album (per person, not shared). New accounts also start with 500 points (a $4.95 value). No subscription, no ads. Points packs from $0.99 if you ever need more.

🛠️ Tools (all live-preview):

• ✍️ Text — custom fonts, any color, any size, 8 positions
• 🖼️ Logo — import a PNG from Photos or Files, adjust opacity
• ✒️ Signature — draw directly on screen with your finger or Apple Pencil, change color
• 📅 Retro Date — auto-pulls the original capture date from EXIF
• 🖼️ White Frame — adds camera metadata border (lens, ISO, aperture — toggle each field on/off)
• 🔐 C2PA Signing — cryptographically sign your exports (photos only) with Content Credentials. Add name, copyright, credits. Assert "captured by camera, not AI-generated"
• 📦 Layers — every element is a separate layer. Reorder, toggle, remove individually
• 🎨 Templates — save your layout, set as default, auto-applies next time

A — Problem: Watermarking before posting should take seconds. Instead, every other app makes you grant full photo permissions → save a duplicate → go find it later → post → delete the clutter. And most silently strip your EXIF, GPS, and HDR data.

B — Better than eZy Watermark / iWatermark / Canva:

• 🚫 Zero photo permissions — system picker, no library access prompt ever
• 📤 Share directly — no saving. Temp file → share sheet → gone
• 📸🎬 Photos + Videos + Batch — watermark 10 at once, scrub video frames
• 🧬 Metadata preserved — EXIF, GPS, HDR gain maps, color profiles, upstream C2PA signatures all survive
• 🔐 Secure Enclave C2PA signing (photos only) — hardware-backed. The private key never leaves the chip
• 📵 Fully offline — no servers, no analytics, no accounts, no tracking

C — Cost: Free (3 exports/day, all features included). Pro monthly or lifetime for unlimited.
