We added a new Drag Folder feature that makes it much faster and easier to move between folders.

With this feature, you can simply press and hold the folder name, then drag it up or down to quickly navigate to nearby folders. Instead of going back step by step or manually opening each folder again, you can move through the folder structure more naturally with a simple gesture.

Since launching TorchPhoto, we ve released frequent updates. Most of them were fixes for non-critical bugs we discovered along the way, but we also added one new feature.

TorchPhoto backs up photos taken on your iPhone to an FTP server and makes it easy to browse the photos stored there. This new feature is the Timestamp overlay: it shows the shooting location and date in the bottom-left corner of your photo.

I built TorchPhoto because my iPhone photo library kept growing and cloud uploads felt unreliable for my workflow (stalls, inconsistent sync, storage limits).

My photos/videos live on an FTP server (often a NAS). What I wanted was an album-like experience on iOS: fast browsing, predictable thumbnails, and the ability to keep browsing even when the connection drops (travel, spotty signal, airplane mode).
