No more sorting afterwards

Most phones put every photo in one long camera roll: the receipt, the job site and the kids' birthday, all mixed together. CamNest flips the order. You pick the folder first.

The usual way: 5 steps

  1. Open the camera
  2. Shoot
  3. Later, open the gallery
  4. Find the photo
  5. Move it to an album

With CamNest: 2 steps

  1. Tap “Receipts” on your home screen
  2. Shoot. Done.

Make a folder. Pin it. Shoot.

How to save photos to a specific folder at the moment you take them, in three taps you only set up once.

  1. A yellow CamNest folder named Family holding 1 photo, with its gear, video and camera buttons.

    Make a folder

    Give it a name and a color: Kids, Work, Travel, Receipts. Each folder is its own camera.

  2. The menu for the Family folder: Rename, Set cover photo, Import from Gallery, Add to home screen and Delete folder, with Add to home screen pointed out.

    Pin it to your home screen

    Tap the gear on a folder, then Add to home screen. Or long-press the CamNest icon to jump straight to a folder.

  3. The green Work folder in CamNest holding 7 photos from a building site, right after shooting from its home screen shortcut.

    Tap. Shoot. Filed.

    The shortcut opens the camera. The photo is filed the moment you take it, so there is nothing left to tidy up.

How CamNest works, step by step

Pick a folder first

One folder for each thing you photograph. Pick one and see where the shot goes.

  • Saved to Bakken 12 – Bathroom

    Projects and trades

    Make a folder per job and tap it on site. The before, the progress and the finished work land together, ready for the report or the invoice.

  • Saved to Work

    Work and office

    Whiteboards, slides and delivery notes go into Work the moment you snap them, not into the same roll as your weekend.

  • Saved to My Kids

    Parents and family

    Tap My Kids or Family and shoot. The good ones are already in one place when the grandparents ask.

  • Saved to Receipts

    Receipts and paperwork

    Photograph a receipt or a letter straight into Receipts, so expenses and tax time start with one folder instead of a search.

  • Saved to Workout

    Training

    Progress photos and the gym whiteboard stay in Workout, easy to swipe back through week by week.

  • Saved to Travel

    Trips

    Start a folder before you leave and every shot from the trip is its own album when you get home.

Trades or project work? Jobsite photos, filed per job

Nothing gets locked in

Photos stay visible in your usual gallery app, like Google Photos, as ordinary photos on your phone. CamNest only decides where they land.
