Where Does Obscura Save Photos?

Obscura routes captures to the system photo library on iOS with settings in its sandbox. No local filenames are published.

Last updated

Obscura is a Photos app extension in practice. Captures land directly in the system library with full format range and instant availability. Settings and filters stay sandbox-local without published filenames.

Bundle identity verifies cleanly through store lookup while file lists do not exist publicly. Backups mean Photos plus device backups for settings. No Mac counterpart holds anything to migrate.
