## What is Foto Notes?

Foto Notes burns the facts right into your photos: date, time, street address, GPS coordinates, compass, altitude, a small map, the weather — and your note. No editing afterwards, no separate notebook. One image, all the information.

Construction site, apartment viewing, handover, inspection or survey: what the photo shows, it also backs up — every detail baked into the pixels, on every copy, in every app.

THE NEW DOCUMENTATION STAMP

The single text line has grown into a structured info card that ticks live in the viewfinder:
- Large clock with seconds, date and time zone
- Full street address — street, number, city
- Exact GPS coordinates, altitude and compass direction (true or magnetic north)
- A map thumbnail of your position — standard or satellite (Pro)
- The weather at capture — temperature, wind and humidity (Pro)
- Your note and your branding

Too much of a good thing? Hold the stamp and toggle every element individually. What you see is what gets burned in — nothing else.

DESIGN RIGHT IN THE CAMERA

Change transparency, colors and placement in the adjust panel right next to the shutter — every change shows up instantly in the viewfinder. The stamp sits in a corner or above/below the photo, so no detail of the image is ever covered. Set the stamp size to small, medium or large.

SIX TAGS, NOTHING TO MEMORIZE

Tap a tag and it drops into your note as a clean badge — no code to remember, nothing to type:
- Date — today's date, in the format you choose
- Time — the current time, ticking every second
- Location — city, country or full street address
- Room — an entry from your room list (kitchen, bathroom, office …)
- Coordinates — exact GPS position, works completely offline
- Company — your company name and website (Pro)

MADE FOR VIEWINGS AND JOB SITES

Set up your room list once and pick the room before each shot. Three viewings later you still know which bathroom belongs to which apartment. On the job site, date, coordinates and map document every step of progress.

CHECK-IN: WORK HOURS WITH PROOF

The new check-in mode clocks you in and out with a proof photo — selfie camera, burned-in time, done. The app reminds you to check out, times can be corrected transparently, and your time log survives reinstalls thanks to iCloud backup. Export the work time report as a PDF with photos, daily totals and signature lines — or as CSV. Your first report is free, after that it is part of Pro.

STAMP PHOTOS YOU ALREADY HAVE (NEW)

Stamp existing photos from your library or the Files app — date, time and location come from the original’s capture data (EXIF), and originals stay untouched. (Pro)

TRY EVERYTHING FIRST

Your first 3 photos after installing carry the full Pro stamp — including the map and your own branding. Then you decide what to keep.

NO ADS — FOR ANYONE

The free version takes unlimited photos, completely ad-free. In return it carries a small Foto Notes badge inside the stamp.

FOTO NOTES PRO

Replaces exactly that badge with your logo, your company name and your website — on every photo you hand to clients, insurers or contractors. Plus the map thumbnail and stamp layouts above/below the photo. Available as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase — no forced subscription. Launch tip: the lifetime purchase is an introductory offer.

ALSO ON BOARD

- Quick zoom presets, flash, continuous light and front camera
- Flexible date, time and location formats
- Save photos to your photo library or your own iCloud Drive
- Fully localized in 28 languages

PRIVACY

Camera and location are used only for taking the photo and rendering the stamp. Your photos stay on your device or in your own iCloud Drive — they are never sent to us or anyone else. No accounts, no tracking.
